Fluid Replacement Flashcards
Body water compostition
Infants (75-85%), adult men (50-60%), adult females (45-55%)
Fluid type composition
intracellular (2/3), extracellular (1/3)- interstitial (3/4), Plasma (1/4)
Maintenance requirements
Holliday-segar calculation- 100 mL/kg first 10 kg, 50 ml/kg first 10 kg, 20 ml/kg after; or estimate ~30 mL/kg
Two major types of fluid
crystalloids- normal saline (.9%NaCl), half normal saline (.45% NaCl), lactated ringers, Dextrose 5% in H2O; Colloid- albumin, hetastarch, plasmanate
Crystalloids
provide water and sodium to maintain the osmotic gradient between extravascular and intravascular spaces
Normal saline
.9 % NaCl, isotonic, used most common for fluid replacement, resuscitation in septic pt, can be used to correct Na or Cl deficiencies
1/2 Normal saline
.45% NaCl hypotonic, use for maintenance fluids for hypernatremic pt
Lactate ringers
approximates human plasma regarding electrolyte concentration, used for replacement of blood loss, mainstay in laboring women
D5W
used for free water replacement, not a resuscitative fluid, various concentrations; 5g dextrose in 100 ml, given in liters so there is 50 g in dose
NaCl 3%
hypertonic saline, rarely used for hypernatremia, inc ICP, dangerous! if not used appropriately, monitor very closely, give small volumes
Never give what as IV fluids
sterile H2O, this is LETHAL
Colloids
used to increase plasma oncotic pressure and move fluid from interstitial compartment to plasma compartment, use selectively for volume expansion during extreme situations like hemorrhagic shock
Colloid options
albumin, blood, hetastarch
Sodium
normal 135-145 mEq/L, extracellular cation needed to maintain cellular integrity and osmolar gradient to maintain fluid homeostasis throughout the different fluid compartments
Hyponatremia
most commonly encountered electrolyte disturbance in hospitalized pts, associated w/ significant morbidity and mortality
pseudohyponatremia
extreme elevations of lipid or proteins, osmolality is number of particles per liter H2O, measured serum osmolality is not sig affected, calc osmalitlity will be low
hypertonic hyponatremia
RARE, serum [Na] falls by 1.6 mEq/l for each 100 mg/dL incremental increase in blood glucose; by correcting glucose you will correct hyponatremia
hypotonic hyponatremia
more than 90% of cases, access ECF volume; hypovolemic, euvolemic, hypervolemic
hypovolemic hyponatremia
dehydration, caused by diuretics and salt losing nephropathy, treat w/ IV fluids, hypertonic NaCl in symptomatic pts or isotonic NaCl in asymptomatic
SIADH
syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone, water intake exceeds the capacity of the kidneys to excrete water, inability to concentrate urine
Causes of SIADH
tumors, CNS disorders, head trauma, stroke, meningitis, pituitary surgery, DRUGS
Drugs that induce SIADH
Despressin, oxytocin, carbamazepine, antipsychotics, TCAs, cyclophosphamides, chemo, NSAIDs, Morphine
Isovolemic hyponatremia
will likely appear as euvolemic, slight increase in ECF, caused by glucocorticoid deficiency, hypothyroidism, psychogenic polydipsia, SIADH
Treatment of isovolemic hyponatremia
furosemide +3% NaCL in symptomatic pts, isotonic fluids in asymptomatic pts, fluid restrictions (if correction needed quickly)
