Fluids Flashcards
Fluid Admin goals
- Maintain intravascular volume
- Augment CO
- Maintain tissue perfusion & O2 delivery
- Maintain electrolyte balance
- Enhance microcirculatory flow
- Facilitate delivery of nutrients & clearance of waste
Total Body Water
Adult: 60% of lean body mass
Neonates: 75-85%
1 y/o: 65%
ICV
40% of body weight
2/3 of TBW
cation: K+
anion: Phos
ECV
20% of body weight
1/3 of TBW
cation: Na++
anion: Cl-
ECV divisions
plasma - 1/4
interstitial fluid in tissue spaces - 3/4
Starling Forces (4)
Interstitial hydrostatic pressure
interstitial oncotic pressure
capillary hydrostatic pressure
plasma oncotic pressure
Positive Net Filtration
= fluid into tissues
supported by:
- capillary hydrostatic pressure
- interstitial oncotic pressure
overall balance of filtration
slightly positive
~2ml/min into tissues - uptaken by lymphatics back into intravascular
percentage of daily losses in urine
60%
Pediatric losses considerations
SA:weight rate is ~ 3x that of an adult
= more insensible losses
= more heat loss
= more sodium loss
ECV & ICV in pediatrics
ECV in infants is 40% & decreases with age
ICV is 20% in premature & 30% by adolescents
Neurohormonal Mechanisms for Fluid Balance
- RAAS
- ADH
- ANP
RAAS
In response to hypotension & sympathetic stim:
renin from kidneys cleaves angiotensinogen from liver = ANG I + ACE (in lungs) = ANG II = water & Na ++ reabsorption
also = aldosterone release = water & Na++ reabsorption
ADH
released from posterior pituitary in response to increase serum osmolality…
= increased water & sodium reabsorption
= increased urine concentration
= arterial vasoconstriction
ANP
released due to stretch on atrial walls from increased preload or hypervolemia…
= increased sodium & water EXCRETION
= inhibitor of ADH & RAAS
