Q

What types of fluids are crystalloids?

A

Isotonic, hypotonic or hypertonic

Cheap

But only 1/4-1/3 of volume infused is still present in vasculature after 1hr. Can cause edema with large infusions.

17
Q

What Cx with variying levels of dehydration?

A
  • <5% - not detectable
  • 5% - dry MM, normal skin turgor
  • 6-7% - dry MM, mildly decreased skin turgor
  • 10% - eyes sunken, highly decreased skin turgor, increased CRT
  • 12-15% - signs of shock, death imminent
18
Q

What fluids should not be used in shock fluid thereapy?

A

Fluids with Low or no sodium.

Ex: Dextrose in water and hypotonic saline solutions

19
Q

What are the clinical uses of hypotonic crystalloids?

A

Replace water deficits/losses

Drug admixtures

20
Q

What can misuse of hypotonic crystalloids do?

A

Large doses rapitdly can cause water intoxication (sellular edema)

21
Q

What are the advantages of isotonic crystalloids?

A
  • Commonly available/economical
  • Replace interstitial deficits
  • Restores effective circulating volume
  • Good replacement solutions for D+/V+ & diuresis loss
  • Polyionic crystalloids do not alter normal electrolyte values
22
Q

What are the disadvantages of crystalloids?

A
  • Rapidly redistributed to interstitial fluid compartment
    • only 20% remains intravascular (need large volumes)
  • Interstitial Edema
    • Cerebral
    • Pulmonary
    • Systemic
  • Hemodilution
    • RBC’s, Albumin & Coagulation factors (bleeding)
  • Rebleeding
23
Q

If you use LRS for long term fluid therapy what do you need to add to the bag?

A

K+ (only get from diet)

24
Q

What is the Na+, Cl-, K+ & HCO3 levels in LRS?

A
  • Na+ = 130
  • Cl- = 109
  • K+ = 4
  • “HCO3” = 28 lactate (turned to HCO3 by liver)
25
Q

What is the Na+, Cl-, K+ and HCO3 levels in
Plasmalyte 148 & Normosol R?

A
  • Na+ = 140
  • Cl- = 98
  • K+ = 5
  • “HCO3” = 27-acetate & 23 Galactate (HCO3 precursers)
26
Q

What is the Na+, Cl- K+, and HCO3 in

0.9% NaCl (saline)?

A
  • Na+ = 155
  • Cl- = 155
  • K+ = 0
  • HCO3 = 0
27
Q

What is the Na+, Cl- K+, and HCO3

in Ringers solution?

A
  • Na+ = 148
  • Cl- = 156
  • K+ = 4
  • HCO3- = 0
28
Q

Signs of Hypo & Hyper KALEMIA (K+)?

A
  • Hypokalemia
    • mm. weakness
    • decreased myocardial contractility
  • Hyperkalemia
    • bradycardia
    • cardiac arrest
29
Q

When an animal is dehydrated,

how does the fluid move?

A

ICF → ECF

30
Q

K+ maintains the ______ ______ potenial

A

resting membrane

31
Q

What are the C/S of 5% dehydration?

A
  • Dry MM
  • Normal skin tugor
