18
Q

osmotic pressure

A

pressure of a solution against a semipermeable membrane that prevents H2O from diffusion across

19
Q

osmolarity

A
  • measures concentration of particles in a solution
  • unit of measurement = osmoles per L of solution (mOsm/L)
20
Q

osmolality

A
  • measures concentration of particles in a solution
  • unit of measurement = osmoles per kg of solvent (mOsm/kg of H2O)
21
Q

plasma osmolarity formula

A

2 [Na+] + Glucose/18 + BUN/2.8

22
Q

normal plasma osmolarity

A

280-290 mOsm/L

23
Q

most important determinant plasma osmolarity

A

Na+

24
Q

What 2 things can increase plasma osmolarity?

A
  1. hyperglycemia
  2. uremia
25
Q

Hypotonic solutions

A
  • solution hypotonic to cell
  • H2O enters & cell swells
  • lower osmolarity than plasma
  • increases ECF & ICF volume
  • decreases plasma osmolarity
26
Q

isotonic solutions

A
  • solution isotonic to cell
  • no H2O transfer & cell remains same size
  • osmolarity approximates plasma
  • expand plasma volume & ECF
  • increases ECF
  • ICF & plasma osmolarity stay same
27
Q

hypertonic solutions

A
  • solution hypertonic to cell
  • H2O exits cell & cell shrinks
  • osmolarity exceeds plasma
  • expands IV volume
  • ECF & plasma osmolarity increase
  • ICF decreases
28
Q

A

central pontine myelinolysis

34
Q

Crystalloid advantages

A
  • 3:1 replacement
  • expands ECF
  • restores 3rd space loss
35
Q

Colloid advantages

A
  • 1:1 replacement
  • increases plasma vol (3-6 hr)
  • smaller vol needed
  • less peripheral edema
  • albumin has anti-inflammatory properties
  • dextran 40 reduces blood viscosity
35
Q

Crystalloid disadvantages

A
  • limited ability to expand plasma volume
    ~ increases for ~ 20-30 min
    ~ higher potential for peripheral edema
  • large vol NaCl –> hyperchloremic met acidosis
  • dilutional effect on albumin
  • dilutional effect on coagulation factors
36
Q

Colloid disadvantages

  • albumin binds Ca+ –> hypocalcemia
  • black box warning on synthetic colloids- renal injury
  • coagulopathy
    Dextran > Hetastarch > Hextend (no >20 ml/kg)
  • anaphylactic potential- highest = dextran
37
Q

A

risk of renal injury

38
Q

Which colloid has highest incidence of coagulopathy?

A

A

hypocalcemia

Q

Fluid Calculation (Historical)

A

1: Fluid Hourly Maintenance (4:2:1)
- 4 ml/kg/hr = 1st 10 kg
- 2 ml/kg/hr = 2nd 10 kg
- 1 lm/kg/hr remaining kg

  1. Calculate fluid deficit
    - # fasting hours x hourly maintenance
  2. Calculate “third space” loss
    - very minimal surgical trauma = 1-2 ml/kg/hr
    ex: orofacial surgery
  • minimal surgical trauma = 2-4 ml/kg/hr
    ex: inguinal hernia repair
  • moderate surgical trauma = 4-6 ml/kg/hr
    ex: major nonabdominal surgery
  • severe surgical trauma: 6-8 ml/kg/hr
    ex: major abdominal surgery
  1. Calculate blood loss replacement
  • crystalloid = 3:1 (3 ml for q 1 ml blood loss)
  • colloid or blood = 1:1
41
Q

Goal-directed fluid therapy

A
  • attempts to optimize pt’s position on Starling curve
  • administration of small quantities of fluid (200-250 ml) to determine difference b/t preload dependence & preload independence

A
43
Q

5 objectives to enhance postsurgical outcomes w/ ERAS

A
  1. Attenuate physiologic changes that accompany surgical trauma
  2. Minimize impact of fluid shifts
  3. Maximize nutritional impact of healing
  4. Improve postop pain
