Fluids and electrolytes COPY Flashcards
What are the components of total body water?
ICV = 2/3 (main electrolytes = potassium and phosphate)
ECV = 1/3 ( main electrolytes = Sodium and Chloride)
TBW ~ 60% of lean body mass
What function helps maintain resting membrane gradient?
Na + K + ATPase pump - transport sodium into ECV
What is the daily fluid volume required to maintain TBW homeostasis for a normal healthy, normothermic adult?
25- 35ml/kg per day or 2-3L/day
What components make up ECV?
1) plasma (1/4 of ECV)
2) Interstitial (3/4 of ECV) - composed of extravascular fluid in the tissue spaces
3) transcellular fluids - include cerebrospinal fluid, synovial, GI secretions, and intraocular fluids (Isolated from fluid dynamics –> NON functional)
what pressures are account for in Starling forces?
1) Capillary Hydrostatic pressure (Pc)
2) Interstitial oncotic pressure (TTif)
3) Interstitial fluid Hydrostatic pressure (Pif)
4) Plasma oncotic pressure (TTc)
Oncotic forces PULL fluid in/out
Hydrostatic forces PUSH fluid in/out
Capillary hydrostatic pressure (Pc)
intravascular BP = force of CO and vascular tone
**Increases capillary hydrostatic pressure and interstitial oncotic pressure –> favor FILTRATION (fluids out to interstitial space)
Pc -> pushes fluid out into interstitium this is why it favors filtration
TTif -> pull fluid into the interstitium this is why it favors filtration
Interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure (Pif)
-Hydrostatic pressure of the interstitial space
**Increases Interstitial fluid pressure and plasma oncotic pressure –> favor ABSORPTION (fluids goes into intravascular space)
Pif -> pushes fluid into the vascular space this is why it favors absorption
TTc -> pulls fluid into the vascular space this is why it favors absorption
Plasma oncotic pressure (TTc)
-Osmotic force of colloidal proteins (i.e. albumin)
***Increases Interstitial fluid pressure and plasma oncotic pressure —> favor ABSORPTION (fluids goes into intravascular space)
Interstitial oncotic pressure (TTif)
-Osmotic force of colloidal proteins (albumin) within interstitial space
***Increases plasma hydrostatic pressure and interstitial oncotic pressure –> favor INFILTRATION (fluids out to interstitial space)
What factors affect fluid filtration?
Increased in these factors
1) Capillary hydrostatic pressure (Pc)
2) Interstitial oncotic pressure (TTif)
3) filtration coefficient
What factors affect fluid absorption?
Increased in these factors:
1) Interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure (Pif)
2) Plasma oncotic pressure (TTc)
What are the effects of net filtration?
-Positive net filtration = Fluid exudation into the tissues
-Negative net filtration = fluid absorb into vasculature
Pif of most tissues is slightly negative
Net filtration tends to be slightly positive at the arterial end of capillaries and slightly negative at venous end
What is the constant fluid filter rate?
2ml/min
Lymphatic system carries fluids back into the interstitial space –> under euvolemic conditions, net fluid filtration ~ equal to lymphatic flow
What is the difference of net filtration between arterial and venous capillary beds?
Positive at the arterial end
Negative at the venous end
What is glycocalyx ?
-composed of a matrix of
1) glycoprotein
2) polysaccharides
3) hyaluronic acid
-Binds to ionic side chains and plasma proteins to create physiologically barrier within vascular space
how and why glycocalyx repel blood components?
-Acts a barrier that repels negative charged polar compounds and blood components -> prevent blood component adhesion to the vascular wall and augmenting LAMINAR blood flow
How does glycocalyx affect net infiltration?
- binds to Albumin
-preserve capillary oncotic pressure and decrease capillary permeability to water —> effects plasma hydrostatic pressure on net filtration
How does glycocalyx affect inflammatory processes?
-contain inflammatory mediators –>prevent leukocyte adhesion excepts when acute inflammation or endothelial damage occurs
What are other function of the glycocalyx?
1) scavenging of free radicals
2) binding and activation of coagulation factors
3) signal transduction that regulate local vasoactive responses to mechanical stress
What are the main electrolytes of ECV?
Sodium and Chloride
What are the main electrolytes of ICV?
Potassium and Phosphate
