Factors that affect total body water percentage
Âge
Gender
Body habitus
Total water body weight percentage in women
50%
Total body water percentage in infants
80%
Do obese people have more or less water
Less
Intracellular volume is ….. of TBW
2/3
Extra cellular volume Is ….. of TBW
1/3 ( 1/4 plasma volume and 3/4 interstitial fluid )
How to determine fluid status before operation
Mental status Intake and output history Blood pressure ( supine and standing ) Heart rate Skin turgor Urinary output Central venous pressure
What allows movement of water across the plasma membrane
osmotic pressure and hydrostatic pressure
Major electrolytes in the blood
Sodium magnesium potassium chloride calcium bicarbonate
What is required for electrolytes to cross the plasma membrane
Active transport
The role of proteins in the plasma
To maintain the osmotic gradient and keeping fluid intravascular
2 Types of IV fluids
Crystalloids
Colloids
Crystalloids composition
Water
electrolytes
Water soluble molecules
Colloids composition
Large insoluble molecules
Proteins
One example of a colloid fluid
Blood and products
Advantage of using crystalloids fluids
Simple
cost effective
different combinations
no immune response
Advantage of colloid fluids
Higher osmotic pressure
Disadvantage of colloids fluid
More expensive
Immune response possible
3 types of crystalloids based on osmo
Isotonic
Hypertonic
Hypotonic
Isotonic fluids
Same osmotic concentration than extra cellular plasma (250-375L) so no shift between ECF and ICF
Hypertonic fluids
Greater osmotic concentration (more than 375L)
So Fluid goes from ICF to ECF ( dehydration of cells )
Hypotonic fluids
Less osmotic concentration ( less than 250L)
So fluids goes from ECF to ICF
Normal plasma composition with concentration
Osmo (280-290) Sodium ( 135-145) Chloride (96-106) Potassium ( 35-52) Calcium (4.4-5.2) Magnesium (1.8-2.4) HCO3 ( 22-26) Lactate (1)
Common isotonic IV fluids
Plasma Normal saline (0.90NS) Lactated ringers (LR)
