fluids and electrolytes Flashcards
what is the path of extracellular volume regulation
BARORECEPTORS • SYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM • RENIN ANGIOTENSIN SYSTEM • VASOCONSTRICTION AND RELEASE OF ALDOSTERONE • ALDOSTERONE (CONSERVES NA++ AND WATER) • ANTIDIURETIC HORMONE • ATRIAL NATRIURETIC PEPTIDE (ANP) • THIRST- WATER LOSS >2%
Thirts mechanism kicks in at what point
water loss great than 2%
hypovolemia know diffrence in subjective and objective finding
Ojective
vomting and diuretics can lead to meabolic shift
Alkalosis
diarrhea, DKA, shock can lead to what type of metabolic shift
acidosis
Patient with WEIGHT GAIN
• INCREASED BP
• EDEMA
• ASCITES
• DECREASED HG, HCT, RBC
• RESPIRATORY ALKALOSIS (PH >7.45, PACO2 < 35)
• CHEST X-RAY-PULMONARY CONGESTION you suspect what type of fluid volume and treat with
hypervolemia FLUID AND NA RESTRICTION • DIURETICS • DIALYSIS • OXYGEN VIA NASAL CANNULA • FOLLOWING SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT • CLEAR LUNGS • NO S3 OR S4 • NORMAL URINARY OUTPUT • NORMAL URINE SPECIFIC GRAVITY • NO EDEMA, NORMAL BP, HR, CVP, AND PCWP
FIRST STEP IN MANAGEMENT hyponatremia
URINE SODIUM (NORMAL 10-20 MEQ/L) • SERUM OSMOLALITY (USUALLY 2X NA = 280) • CLINICAL STATUS • MEASURING URINE SODIUM HELPS TO DETERMINE RENAL FROM NONRENAL CAUSES
Monitor serum Na how often in symptomatic patients needing sodium correction
every 2-4 hours
normals for urine osmolality
URINE SODIUM (NORMAL 10-20 MEQ/L) •
Normals for serum osmolality
SERUM OSMOLALITY (USUALLY 2X NA = 280)
Management of Hypernatremia SEVERE HYPERNATREMIc HYPOVOLEMIa

treatment for hypervolemic hypernatriemia
TREAT WITH D5W AND LOOP DIURETICS
