Q

What is the endothelial glycocalyx?

A

Forms a protective layer on the interior wall of the blood vessel. It acts as a gatekeeper to determine what can pass form the vessel into the interstitial space. Disruption of the glycocalyx contributes to capillary leak.

Q

What is diffusion?

A

The net movement of a substance (solute) from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration across a FULLY (not semi) permeable membrane. Both water and solute can pass through.

Solute moves down its concentration gradient.

Q

What is Osmotic Pressure?

A

The pressure of a solution against a semipermeable membrane prevents water from diffusing across that membrane.

It is a COLLIGATIVE property. This means it is a function of the number of osmotically active particles in the solution, NOT a function of their molecular weights.

Q

Hypotonic solutions have an osmolarity ____ than plasma

A

Lower

24
Q

Isotonic solutions have an osmolarity ______ to plasma

A

roughly equal

25
Q

Hypertonic solutions have an osmolarity _____ than the plasma

A

Higher

26
Q

Tonicity compares what to what

A

Compares the osmolarity of a solution relative to the osmolarity of the plasma

27
Q

Assuming normal plasma osmolarity, what will the administration of a hypotonic solution do to the cell?

A

The solution is hypotonic to the cell. Water enters, and the cell swells.

28
Q

Assuming normal plasma osmolarity, what will the administration of a hypertonic solution do to the cell?

A

The solution is hypertonic to the cell. Water exits, and the cell shrinks.

29
Q

What are two hypotonic crystalloid solutions?

A

NaCL 0.45%
D5W

30
Q

What are three isotonic crystalloid solutions?

A

NaCL 0.9%
LR
Plasma-Lyte A

31
Q

Is Albumin 5% hypo, iso, or hypertonic

A

Isotonic

32
Q

What are four hypertonic crystalloid solutions

A

NaCL 3%
D5 NaCl 0.9%
D5 NaCl 0.45%
D5 LR

33
Q

How does giving a hypotonic solution affect intracellular and extracellular fluid volume?

A

Increases the ECF and ICF volumes

34
Q

How does giving a hypotonic solution affect intracellular and extracellular fluid osmolarity?

A

Decreases plasma osmolarity.

35
Q

Hypotonic solutions distribute where?

A

Throughout all body compartments. This is why it is a POOR intravascular volume and why you should never give it to someone with increased ICP.

36
Q

How does giving an isotonic solution affect intracellular and extracellular fluid volume?

A

ICF remains the same and expands ECF and plasma volume.

37
Q

How does giving an isotonic solution affect intracellular and extracellular osmolarity?

A

Stays the same.

38
Q

How does giving a hypertonic solution affect intracellular and extracellular fluid volume?

A

Reduces ICF. Expands intravascular volume by pulling fluid from the ICF into the ECF.

39
Q

How does giving a hypertonic solution affect intracellular and extracellular osmolarity?

A

Osmolarity increases in both ICF and ECF

40
Q

What are two conditions that hypertonic solutions can be used to treat?

A

Cerebral edema and hyponatremia

41
Q

What condition can occur is serum sodium rises too quickly?

A

Central Pontine Myelinolysis

42
Q

Total Body Water is around what percent in the elderly?

A

~50%

43
Q

Does muscle have more or less water than adipose?

A

More. Patients who have more adipose tissue will have a lower body water percentage.

44
Q

Around puberty to adulthood, total body water is about what percent? How much is ICV and how much is ECV?

A

TBW = ~ 60%
ICV about 2/3 (40%)
ECV about 1/3 (20%)

45
Q

How is the charge gradient of primary cations and anions between the ICV and ECV maintained?

A

Maintained by the Na+/K+ ATPase pump in the cell membrane. Requires energy

46
Q

Assuming a healthy adult, normothermic, and standard metabolic function - how much fluid intake does someone need to take in to remain normovolemic?

A

About 25-35 ml/kg/day which is about 2-3L

47
Q

The ECV is made up of ____ compartments and separated by vascular endothelium. What are the components, and what is the volume ratio?

A

2 compartments.
Intravascular (Plasma volume) = ~1/4
Extravascular (Interstitial) = ~3/4

48
Q

What pressure influences vascular tone / cardiac output?

A

Capillary Hydrostatic Pressure (Pc)

49
Q

What pressure relates to lymphatic drainage? Is it positive or negative?

A

Interstitial fluid Pressure (Pif) - slightly negative due to drainage of the lymphatic system

50
Q

What pressure holds some of the water in the intravascular space to maintain plasma volume or to pull fluid from the interstitial space?

A

Plasma Oncotic Pressure (πif) via colloid proteins. Mainly Albumin

51
Q

What pressure maintains interstitial volume and pulls fluid from the intravascular space into the interstitial?

A

Interstitial Oncotic Pressure (πif)
the surrounding tissue can attract water from the capillaries into the interstitial space, promoting movement out of the blood vessels.

52
Q

What is the glycocalyx?

A

A thin gel-like structure is on the inner surface of the vascular endothelium.
It is a selectively permeable surface that modules fluid hemostasis, preserves laminar flow, and regulates the immune response and coagulation process.

53
Q

What can occur when the glycocalyx is damaged?

A

The vessel wall becomes leaky and allows more fluid than usual into the interstitial space, causing edema

54
Q

Do crystalloids hydrate just the intravascular/plasma volume or the entire ECV, including the interstitial volume?

A

The ENTIRE ECV. both plasma and interstitial

55
Q

While crystalloid will expand the intravascular space, it is transient. About what percentage will filtrate to the interstitial space relatively quickly?

A

~75-80%

56
Q

What acid-base balance can occur with

A
