Fluid Therapy Flashcards
1
Q
maintenance fluid dose
A
40-60ml/kg/day
2
Q
dehydration
A
decreased fluid in intracellular or interstitial spaces (intravascular space if shock ensues)
3
Q
shock
A
decreased fluid in intravascular space
4
Q
Type of fluid to use if unknown dx or lab results?
A
Crystalloid replacement fluid
5
Q
crystalloid
A
solute that can move freely around fluid compartments
6
Q
crystalloid
A
- hypotonic - draw fluid into cells
- isotonic - same osmolality; no movement; except perfusion support and volume replacement
- hypertonic - draws fluid from cells, interstitial space –> intravascular
7
Q
colloid
A
-large MW
-stay in intravascular space and keep fluid there
-Natural - plasma, whole blood
synthetic - hetastarch, dextran, pentastarch, oxyglobin
