Fluid Therapy And Replacement Flashcards
4 things that rate depends on:
- Permeability of substance
- Concentration differences
- Pressure differences
- Electrical potential
Net movement of water across a semipermeable membrane due to a difference in solute concentrations
Osmosis
Number of osmoles/liter
Osmolarity
Number of osmoles/kilogram of water
Osmolality
Normal human serum osmolality
275-299 miliosmoles/kilogram
Total body water
60% of body weight, 42L
Intracellular fluid
67% of TBW, 28L
Extracellular fluid
33% of TBW, 14L
Interstitial fluid
25% of TBW, 11L
Plasma fluid (intravascular)
8% of TBW, 3L
Volume of water in males
60%
Volume of water in females
50-55%
Volume of water in newborns
75%
Volume of water in obese patients
As low as 45%
Intracellular fluid body compartment (4)
- Comprises 2/3 of TBW
- Osmotic pressure determined by K+
- High protein content
- Controlled by ATP pump
Extracellular fluid body compartment (3)
- Comprises 1/3 of TBW
- Osmotic pressure determined by Na+
- Subdivided into interstitial and intravascular (plasma)
Interstitial extracellular fluid compartment (2)
- Very little free fluid
2. Reservoir for intravascular compartment
Intravascular extracellular fluid compartment (3)
- Restricted by vascular endothelium
- Electrolytes pass freely
- Plasma proteins usable to pass (albumin)
Crystalloids (3)
- Aqueous solutions of ions (glucose)
- IV half life is only 20-30min
- Large volumes cause edema
Movement of water in hypotonic fluids
Water will move intracellularly
-decreases IV volume
Hypotonic fluids osmolarity
<240 MOSM/L
Uses of hypotonic fluids (3)
- Hypernatremia
- Diabetic ketoacidosis
- Hyperosmlar/hyperglycemia
4 risks of hypotonic fluids
- Increase ICP
- Worsens hypotension
- Hyperglycemia
- Hemolysis
Water movement of hypertonic fluids
Mostly remains in ECF
-pulls from ICF
Osmolarity of hypertonic fluid
> 310 MOSM/L
2 uses for hypertonic fluid
- Plasma expanders
2. Reduce cerebral edema
4 risks of hypertonic fluids
- Hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis
- Pulmonary edema
- IV infiltration
- Cellular dehydration
Serum osmolality of isotonic fluids
275-299 MOSM/KG
