Fluid Therapy & Medical Math Flashcards
Name three goals of fluid support during Sx
- Maintain BP
- Achieve patient ideal homeostasis for fluid, electrolyte & glucose needs
- Maintain emergency IV access
Minimum Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) is ___mmHg for organ perfusion
<60mmHg
T/F: Hypotension is best described as mean arterial pressure
True
In regards to hypotension, poor organ perfusion can lead to… (4)
- Kidney failure
- Pancreatitis
- Heart arrhythmias
- Cognitive dysfunction
MAP = ____ systolic pressure + ____ diastolic pressure
1/3 systolic
2/3 diastolic
T/F: It is okay for Sx fluids to have additives
False! Sx rate fluids are higher than normal so it is not recommended to give fluids with additives
The common rates for patients IV fluids
Cats: __ml/kg/hr
Dogs: __ml/kg/hr
Cats: 3ml/kg/hr
Dogs: 5ml/kg/hr

True
Clean all inj ports with ___ before use
Alcohol
While receiving fluids, every hr a patient should be check for… (3)
And every four hours they should be check for…
Every hour:
1. No evidence of extravasation of fluids by IVC
2. Pump is delivering at correct rate
3. RR is WNL & effort
Every 4hrs:

2. Cardiac: (2)
3. Body tissue (2)
- Resp:
- Wet lung sounds
- Tachypnea/dyspnea
- Cough - Cardiac
- Tachycardia
- Hypertension - Body tissue
- Weight gain (more than 10% from entry weight)
- Tissue edema
