25
Q

Does Plasmalyte M contain more sodium or potassium

A

More K+ than Na because the body secretes K+ relatively quick than Na

26
Q

What is the maximum infusion rate of maintenance solutions?

A

0.5mEq/kg/hour

27
Q

What is the concentration of physiological saline?

A

0.9% NaCl

28
Q

When is use of physiological saline recommended?

A

Hyperkalemia patients

Hyperkalemia, hyponatremic patients with hypoadrenocorticism

29
Q

What would you be concerned about if you have high volumes of physiological saline?

A

Dilute other electrolytes

30
Q

What is the concentration of hypertonic saline?

A

7.5% NaCl

31
Q

What is the main use of hypertonic saline?

A

Rapid IVF compartment expansion
—> temporary cardiac function improvement (fast onset and short duration)

Can be used to treat cerebral edema if BBB is intact

32
Q

What is Dextrose 5% used for?

A

Not much use, glucose rapidly metabolized with water by-product

Essentially provides water —> component of maintenance fluids

33
Q

What are colloid fluids?

A

Large molecular weight, stay in vasculature a long time

34
Q

What is the main purpose of colloid fluids?

A

Expand and maintain IVF space volume

  • oncotic pull
  • volume administered
  • volume retained
35
Q

Colloids replace low volume blood loss at a _____ v/v ratio

A

1: 1

36
Q

Colloids can be co-administered with what to minimize ISF deficits

A

2-3x crystalloids

37
Q

What are the synthetic colloids ?

A

Hydroxyl-ethyl starch (HES)
Dextran
Gelatin

38
Q

What are the natural colloids?

A

Whole blood plasma

Albumin

39
Q

What re the Hb-based oxygen carrying solution colloids ?

A

Oxyglobin

40
Q

What is the most commonly used colloid?

A

Hetastarch

Molecular weight 420kDa

41
Q

What affect does hetastarch have on hemostatis?

A

Saves oncotic pressure

Decrease factor VIII and von willebrands factor concentrations

42
Q

Where is hetastarch metabolized and eliminated//

A

Metabolized by serum amylase

Eliminated by kidneys (associated with osmotic nephropathy - avoid in septic patients)

43
Q

T/F: dextrans are colloids with a similar weight to hetastarch

A

True

Polymer of glucose
More hyper-oncotic than plasma

44
Q

What is the main contributor to oncotic pull of plasma

A

Albumin

45
Q

T/F: plasma contains clotting factors

A

True

-can be used to treat coagulopathies

46
Q

Why are fluid and electrolyte/ acid-base disturbances common during anesthesia ?

A
Open body cavities 
High fresh gas flow driven fluid loss
Bleeding 
Drug induced polyuria 
Effects from drug-induced respiratory and cardiovascular depression
47
Q

Why should we give peri-anesthetic fluids?

A

Maintaining IV catheter patency

Correction of deficits (fasting) and ongoing normal fluid losses

Maintenance of whole body fluid during procedure

Support cardiovascular function (BP)

  • > maintain preload and SV
  • > compensate for peripheral vasodilation from drugs
48
