Q

Etiology of Hyponatremia

<135mEq

A

May exist in various states of hydration hypovolemic, isovolemic, hypervolemic, so you must evaluate plasma osmolarity and ECF volume to determine cause.

Q

Treatment for Hyponatremia

A

Treatment depends on specific cause.
The goal is to restore Na+ balance by manipulating serum osmolality fluid balance with H2O restriction IVF selection based on toxicity and diuretics

A

Not significant unless very high heart block

29
Q

A

give magnesium

30
Q

Treatment for hypermag

A

calcium chloride

31
Q

Influences Fluid Dynamics
Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone-system
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
Atrial natriuretic peptide

A
  1. Reabsorption of sodium (and water)
  2. Reabsorption of water
  3. Stimulated by stretch receptors in the atria
    - -Stimulates kidneys to release sodium and water, thereby reducing intravascular volume
    - -Inhibits renin and ADH
32
Q

Assessment of Fluid Volume Status
Preop evaluation
Assessing for fluid volume status

A
  1. Skin turgor, mucous membrane, peripheral edema
  2. Lung sounds
    Vital signs
    Urine output
    HCT
    Urine specific gravity
    BUN/Creatinine
    Acid-base balance (ABG)

D5LR
3% NaCl
cell will shrink

Colloids
Dextran 10%

47
Q

Describe Normal saline and its ingredients

A

0.9% NaCl in Water
Isotonic solution (~308 Mosm/L)
Typical solution for diluting PRBCs (cannot use Ca++ containing crystalloids)

48
Q

In large volumes, NaCl produces high Cl- content, which leads to

A

dilutional hyperchloremic acidosis

49
Q

The primary role of NS in modern anesthetic practice is in the administration of small volumes to neurosurgical patients. As a result of its mild hyperosmolality, 0.9% saline is the preferred fluid for patients at risk for cerebral edema. NS may also be indicated in fluid management of patients with anuria and end-stage renal disease who cannot excrete the potassium content of more balanced crystalloid solutions.
