Only used for short quick results

27
Q

Side effects of 5% dextrose

A

Iatrogenic hyponatremia
Induces hyperglycemia
Hemolysis cos its not compatible with blood

28
Q

32
Q

Indications of ringers lactate

A

Intraoperative fluid loss

Severe hypovoleamia

33
Q

Precautions for ringers lactate

A

Severe metabolic acidosis

Dont give with blood products cos calcium in it chelates antocoagulant calcium in blood

39
Q

Colloids

A

Do not cross semi permeable membrane easily hence are always contained in intravascular space- plasma expanders

40
Q

Disadvantages of colloids. Why does it put patient at risk

A

Are gelatinous and cause platelet dysfunction.

Interfere with fibrinolysis and coagulation factor 8 leading to coagulopathy

41
Q

Types of colloids

A

Albumin
Dextran
Gelatins
Hydroxyethyl startches

42
Q

Albumin

A

Already a natural major component of plasma

50-60% of plasma proteins

43
Q

Half life of albumin

A

20 days

44
Q

Types of solutions of albumin

A

2.

5% and 25% form

45
Q

5% albumin solution

A

Isosmotic with plasma

80% volume expansion recorded

46
Q

25% albumin solution

A

200-400% increase in volume

47
Q

Indications of albumim solution

A

Loss of plasma leading to shock in emergency i.e in burns

Fluid rescucitation in icu

Hypoalbumineamia

48
Q

Side effects of albumin

A

Pruritis due to antigen antibody reaction
Anaphylactoid reactions
Coagulation abnormalities compared to synthetic colloids

49

63
Q

Why colloids are not used as sole fluid replacement in rescucitation?

A

This is because colloids stay exclusively in the intravascular space or vessels and even cause more water to be drawn from the interstitial space into it so you have to add crystalloids which will push some fluid into the interstitial space
