Fluid management Flashcards
(109 cards)
What is the importance of fluid replacement (4)?
- Intravascular volume
- Left ventricular filling pressure
- Cardiac output
- Systemic blood pressure
What is the ultimate goal?
Adequate oxygen delivery to tissues
What is needs to be considered along with fluid replacement?
Electrolytes, acid base balance, coagulation
What is the characteristic of the intracellular compartment?
~Two-thirds of total body weight
Where is the large amount of intracellular fluid?
Large amount in skeletal muscle
What is the major intracellular cation?
potassium
What is the major intracellular anion?
phosphate
What is the characteristic of the extracellular compartment?
~One-third of total body weight
What is the major extracellular cation?
sodium
What is the major extracellular anion?
chloride
What are the different types of extracellular fluids?
Intravascular volume (1/4); Interstitial volume (3/4); Transcellular
What is transcellular fluid?
Bodyfluidswhich are formed from the transport activities of cells
What is an example of transcellular fluid?
E.g. Pleural fluid, peritoneal fluid, sweat, urine, lymph & CSF
What is the total body water for males?
~60% of body weight
What is the total body water for females?
~50-55% of body weight
What is true about the total body water of neonates and infants?
have a higher water content per kg of body weight due to a larger volume of distribution
What is the total body water for neonates and infants?
~70-80% of body weight
What needs to be adjusted in neonates and infants?
Water soluble drug doses are higher in this population, e.g. succinylcholine
What is the cause of decreased TBW for women, elderly and obesed patients?
Women, elderly and obese patients have decreased TBW due to decreased water content of adipose tissue
What is the % of water for muscle?
75% water
What is the % of water for adipose tissue?
~10% water
What is the total body water of obese pts?
55cc/kg
What is the total body water of female pts?
65cc/kg
What is the total body water of male pts?
70cc/kg
