FLUIDS ELECTROLYTES ACID/BASE Flashcards
Why does ADH elevate after surgery?
loss of intravascular volume by sequestration in injured tissues or “third-spacing,” dehydration from prolonged fasting, and insensible losses during the operation
Hyponatremia in CSW is due to
excessive urinary losses of sodium
na and volume status in pt with CSW
HYPOvolemic and hyponatremic
Treatment of CSW (initial)
NS
Remember they are hypovolemic
In response to metabolic alkalosis a/w hypovolemia the urine chloride concentration will be
LOW, <20 mEq/L in response to rcorresponding hypochloremia and volume contraction
3 primary mechanisms of hypercalcemia of malignancy
Tumor secretion of PTHrP
Osteolytic mets
Tumor production of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D
How to correct for serum sodium in hyperglycemia
Add 2 mEq/L of Na for each 100 the blood glucose is above 100
Calculation of anion gap
Na - Cl - HCO3

Right shift
succinylcholine is what type of muscle relaxant
depolarizing
