Q

What is the only fluid used with administration of blood cell products

A

NS

38
Q

Adverse effects of crystalloids

A

Edema, dilute plasma proteins, short lived effects

39
Q

Colloids

A

Move fluid from interstitial compartment to plasma compartment
-expand plasma volume

40
Q

Plasma volume increasing due to colloids equals

A

BP increasing

41
Q

Colloids increase

A

Colloid osmotic pressure

42
Q

In colloids particles are

A

Large
-too big to leave

43
Q

Examples of colloids

A

-dextran
-hetastarch
-modified gelatin
-albumin

44
Q

Albumin as a colloids

A

Only comes from human donors
-donated and separated then suspended in water

45
Q

Indications of colloids

A

Generally a fall in blood pressure
-trauma
-burns
-sepsis
-hypovolaemic shock

46
Q

Colloids vs crystalloids

A

Colloids - more expensive and difficult to prepare

Both increase plasma and blood pressure

47
Q

Adverse effects of colloids

A

Usually safe
-altered coagulation
-no oxygen carrying capacity

48
Q

Colloids need to be given

A

Slowly
-dont want bounding BP

49
Q

What are the most expensive fluid/electrolytes

A

Blood and blood products
-least available bc they require human donors

50
Q

Examples of blood and blood products

A

-whole blood
-RBC products carry oxygen
-inc supply of various products

51
Q

Whole blood

A

Nothing is changes
-in situations of intense bleeds

52
Q

RBC products carrying oxygen

A

Just separate RBC
-cancer chemo like bone marrow anaemia

53
Q

Indications of blood products

A

-packed RBCs
-fresh frozen plasma
-cryoprecipitate and plasma protein factors

54
Q

Packed RBCs and whole blood

A

Increase oxygen carrying capacity
-anemia
-substantial hemoglobin deficits

55
Q

What percentage of blood loss are packed RBCs and whole blood used for

A

Blood loss greater than 25% of total blood volume

56
Q

Fresh frozen plasma

A

Increase the clotting factor levels in clients with demonstrated deficiency creating COAGULATION

74
Q

Parenteral infusions of potassium must be

A

Monitored closely

75
Q

Rate o potassium should never exceed

A

10 mmol/hour

76
Q

Potassium should NEVER be given as an
