solutions of larger water insoluble molecules like complex carbohydrates or gelatins

30
Q

How do isotonic solutions act?

A

stay almost entirely in extracellular compartment

0.9% sodium chloride

31
Q

How do hypertonic solutions act?

distributes across all body compartments

2/3rds intracellular
1/3rd extracellular

80ml intravascular, 254ml interstitial

35
Q

How do colloids work?

A

increase osmotic force across capillary membrane drawing fluids from interstitial to intravascular compartment

A

100% stays in intravascular compartment

37
Q

what is shock?

A

organ hypoperfusion to the extent that cellular metabolic demands are not met

38
Q

what is distributive shock?

A

systemic vasodilation leads to decreased organ perfussion

PE
cardiac tamponade

51
Q

what is the passive leg raise test?
