Fluid Types Flashcards
an electrolyte solution + buffer
crystalloids
types of crystalloids
isotonic
hypertonic
hypotonic
large osmotically active particles
colloids
types of colloids
synthetic
natural blood products
types of isotonic fluids
plasmalyte
normsol
lactated ringers
saline
type of hypertonic fluid
7.2% saline (NaCl solution)
types of hypotonic fluids
free water
dextrose in water
0.45%, NaCl, Normosol, Plasmalyte
movement of water with an isotonic crystalloid
from vasculature to interstitium
which isotonic crystalloid has lactate
lactated ringers
which fluid should be used for shock doses, MDO and maintenance fluids
isotonic crystalloids
which patients should not get isotonic crystalloids
acidosis patients
acidifying nature
fluid creates an osmotic gradient using the patient’s own interstitial fluid into the vascular space
hypertonic saline
cases of hypertonic saline
hypovolemic
head trauma
hypertonic saline contraindication
dehydrated patients
fluid cannot be bolused
hypotonic saline
