Fluids Flashcards
Normal physiology
Total 42L water
14L ECF- 1L transcellul, 3.5L plasma, 9.5L interstit
28L ICF
Insensible loss
Unaware and diffic to quantify, cant be elim-
Transdermal diffus and evap
Resp evap
Sweat?
Sensible loss
Can be seen, felt and measured-
Urine
Defecation
Wounds
Osmotic press
Abil of a solute to attract water.
Or press needed to reverse osmosis.
Oncotic press
Press by prots to draw water into BV
Hydrostatic press
Press of incomp fluid on sealed container eg BV
Osmolality
Osmoles per kg of solvent
Plasma 280-305mOsmol/kg
Osmolarity
Osmoles per L of solution
Osmoles
Number of moles of solute that contrib to osmotic press
tonicity
Effective osmolarity of solution
Same fluid can be hyper or hypotonic dep on where put it
forces
Osmotic forces act across all compartments Stalrings forces (oncot and hstat) act btw intra vasc and interstit fluid
Veins vs arteries
MABP 80-100mmHg- high hstat press, high prot oncotic press.
Venous press 10mmHg- low hstat press, high oncotic
In sepsis capills leak prot so high oncot press into tiss so draws fluid out.
Imp ion concs
Na- plasma 137-147, interstit 144, IC 10 K- plasma 3.5-5, interstit 4, IC 160 Gluc- plasma 3.9-6.1 Prot- plasma 10 Cl- plasma 110
4/2/1 rule for baseline maint fluid only
1st 10kg- 4ml/kg/hr
2nd 10kg- 2ml/kg/hr
Subseq mass- 1ml/kg/hr
Often simplif to 1-2ml/kg/hr in adults
Na and K reqs for adult
Na- 1-1.5mmol/kg/day
K- 0.7-1mmol/kg/day
Regulation
ADH- opens CD aquapaorins. More rel if high Na.
High A and BNP predictor of HF.
RAAS
NICE
Asses the pt
5 Rs- resus, routine maint, repl, redistrib, reass
Less fluid, less Na, more K
Types
Crystalloid dissolved salt and sugar eg saline, hartmanns. Hypo, iso and hypertonic.
Colloid susp not dissolved eg gelatin, starch, alb. Draw fluid into BV. Rarely used now.
Blood products.
