23
Q

How many ml lost by lungs and faeces a day

A

c 500ml

24
Q

How many ml lost by sweating a day

A

500ml

25
Q

how many L of fl does an ill pt in hospital need /day

A

3L

26
Q

1 salty 2 sweet regimen

A

1L norm saline +20mmol KCl over 8h
1L 5% dextrose w/ 20mmol KCl over 8h
1L 5% dextrose w/ 20mmol KCl over 8h

27
Q

What must you ALWAYS do before prescribing fl

A

Chekc U+E

28
Q

If pt has pyrexia, how does fl regime change

A

+ 10% for ever degree of fever

29
Q

What activates the RAAS

A

Decreased effective aa blodo volume –> decreased renal blod flow
Or
By unloading of high pressure baroceptors in the aa system

30
Q

Where are the baroceptors (3)

A

LA
Carotid body
Aortic arch

31
Q

What deactivates the RAAS

A

Increaseed EABV –> stretch atrial myocardium –> release of ANP
ANP vasodilates renal aaa _ decreasees RAAS activity

32
Q

sx of mild dehydration (3)

A

Headache
lack of E
Tired

33
Q

sx of mod dehydration (4)

A

Dry mouth
Decr alertness
Sunken eyes
Mm cramps

34
Q

Sx of severe dehydration (5)

A
Confusion 
Disorientation 
TachyC
Tachypnoea
Low BP
35
Q

Blood results dehydration

A

Deranged U+E

Markedkly raised urea

36
Q

metabolic change vomiting

A

Hypochloraemic, hypokalaemia metabolic alkalosis

37
Q

Tx vomiting

A

0.9% saline

+ 20mmol KCl

38
Q

What do pancreatic, small bowel, and bile fistulas contain

A

High bicarbonate levels

39
Q

How much K levels seem with these fistulae and why

A

Elevated (due to acidosis desplaces K from cells)

But really total body K is depleted

40
Q

Metabolic changes in acute diarrhoea

A

Hyperchloraemic metabolic acidosis

Hypokalaemia if profuse

41
Q

Tx diarrhoea if oral rehydration not possible

A

0.9% saline

20mmol K

42
Q

Fl Mx stable pt w/ closed head injury

A

⅔ of maintenance isotonic solutions

43
Q

Metabolic changes ATN (6)

A
Hyperkalaemia 
Hyperphosphataemia

A
FBC
U+E
Lactate 
GLucose 
Urinalysis
45
Q

What is SIADH

A

Non-physiological release of ADH

–> DECREASED water excretion + normal Na excretio –> dilutional hyponatraemai
