Iv Flashcards
Isotonic
Equal osmotic pressure to normal body fluid
Cell stay same size
Hypotonic
Depressed osmotic pressure to normal body fluid
Cell increases in size
Hypertonic
Increased osmotic pressure to normal body fluid
Cell shrinks
Isotonic solutions
Equal concentration of solutes
No change in the size of the cell
Solution stays in the venous system, increasing the blood volume
Iso
0.9% normal saline
Fluid replacement
2/3 - 1/3
0.3% NS to 3.3% D5W combined
Long term hospital use
Ringers lactate
Fluid replacement
Electrolytes
Lifelines
D5W
PCPs do not use this
Becomes hypo in the veins
Med route
Micro drip
Smaller amount of fluid delivered with each drop
60 drops to 1ml
Delivers fluid and very precise amounts
Useful in children and adults require minimal amount
Macro drip
Used one large amount of fluid as needed
Larger opening allows for a bigger drop size
Typically delivers 10, 15or 20 drops per ml
Buretrol
Used a med amsistration
Antecubitol fossa
Ac vein
I’ve gauge sizes
24-12
Large bore for what kinds of med
Viscous med like 50% dextrose
pts in shock
14-16 large bores
