What is the primary cation and anion of the ICV?
K+
PO4-
What is the daily fluid volume required to maintain TBW homeostasis?
25-35mL/k per day (2-3 L)
Which of the four transcapillary pressures are is slightly negative?
Pif - interstitial fluid pressure. Due to lymphatic vessels.
What is the primary determinant of both capillary and interstitial oncotic pressure?
albumin
What transcapillary pressures favor filtration of fluid into the interstitial space?
capillary hydrostatic and interstitial oncotic.
What transcapillary pressure favor absorption of fluid into the intravascular space?
interstitial hydrostatic and capillary oncotic
What results from positive net filtration when discussing transcapillary pressures?
edema
What results from negative net filtration when discussing transcapillary pressures?
fluid absorption into the vasculature
The regulation of the ECV is largely dependent on which ion?
sodium
What are negative effects of hyperchloremia from large volumes of NS?
Decreased GFR, increased salt and water retention
Which patient population is NS most appropriate for?
Neurosurgical patients. (In small amounts, d/t slight hyperosmolarity reducing risk of cerebral edema)
Which patient populations is LR contraindicated in?
Diabetics, TBI, neurovascular insults
Which 3 fluids are considered the most isotonic of the balanced salt solutions?
Plasmalyte, normasol, isolyte
What are the buffers used in plasmalyte, normasol, and isolyte?
Sodium gluconate and sodium acetate
What starling force do colloids directly affect?
Increase Plasma oncotic
How does dextran affect coagulation? (3)
Impairs vWF, activates plasminogen, interferes with platelet aggregation
Hydroxylethyl starches are contraindicated in which patient population?
Allergies to starchy plants; potatoes, maize, sorghum
What did thr CREST study determine about hydroxylethyl starches?
Increase the risk of renal injury. (Black box warning)
What is the Donnan effect?
Becuase of albumins negative charge, it binds ions which increases plasma osmolarity and intravascular volume
What did the SAFE trial determine?
No difference in outcomes with albumin and NS. Except neurotrauma; albumin increased mortality.
What are the guidelines for fluid replacement for Superficial Trauma: Minimal Trauma (herniorrhaphy): Moderate Trauma (major nonabd or laparoscopic abd. surgery): Severe Trauma (major open abd. surgery):

What are unreliable methods of determining fluid responsiveness and volume status?
CVP, urine output,
What are the x and y axis on a Frank-Starling curve?
x: LVEDV, y: pressure (SV)
What are the segments of the Frank-Starling curve?
