Q

why is a balance crystalloid fluid used

A

because if you use 0.9% NaCl there is a risk of hyperchloraemic metabolic alkalosis

Q

when should you use 0.9% NaCl in rescuctiaiton

A

in patients with rhabdomyolysis, acute kidney injury or chronic kidney disease due to the risk of hyperkalaemia

Q

0.9% NaCl

A

contains only sodium and chloride (154mmol/litre of each)

17
Q

0.45% NaCl

A

Contains only sodium and chloride (77mmol/litre of each)

18
Q

0.18% NaCl/ 5% dextrose

A

contains 31mmol/litre of sodium and chloride in 222 mol/litre of glucose

19
Q

5% dextrose contains only

A

277mmol/litre of glucose only

20
Q

colloid fluids

A

consider human albumin solution (4-5%) only in patients with severe sepsis

21
Q

20% albumin is

A

hyperoncoct,100ml will expand to approximately 400ml in 25 minutes

22
Q

20% albumin is used in

A

large volume paracentesis

  • 100ml every 3litres if normal renal function
  • 100ml every 2 litre if renal dysfunction
23
Q

blood producrs

A
  • FFP
  • red blood cells
  • platelets
  • cryoprecipitate
24
Q

massive haemorrhage protocol

A

send urgent blood samples (FBC, coagulation scree, cross match, fibrinogen, U+E, calcium) blood bank will send 4 units of red cells, 4 units of FFP, 1 unit of plasma

25
specific scenarios: hyponatraemia if the patient is dry
give 0.9% NaCl carefully monitoring there U's and E's
26
if hyponatraemic but euvolaemic
consider SIADH as the diagnosis and do a paired serum and urine osmolarity
27
if SIADH is the correct diagnosis
restrict water to less than one litre a day and treat underlying cause
28
if hyponatrameic and fluid overloaded
water restriction and consider diuretic use if symptomatically overloaded with monitoring of Us and Es
29
correct of hyponatramaeia goal of treatment
is to raise the sodium concentration by 4-6 mEq/litre in a 24 hour period
30
in patients who require emergency theory for hyponatraemia
the goal of raising sodium concncetration by 4-6mEq/litre should be achieved within 6 hours or less and then after this sodium levels should be kept constant
31
in the treatment of hyponatraemia every effort should be made to ensure that
the rise in serum sodium is less than 9mEq/litre within any 24 hour period due to the risk of a devastating osmotic demyelination condition occurring called central pointing myelinolysis
32
patients who are at the highest risk of osmotic demyelination
those with serum sodium concentration of less than 105mEq/litre, those with hypokalaemia,alcoholism, malnutrition and liver disease
33
severe hyponatramia
sodium less than 120mmol/litre requires emergency therapy with hypertonic saline
34
hypertonic saline is indicated in the following situations
- patients with symptomatic hyponatramia such as seizures and altered conscious level - patients with acute hyponatrameia even with mild symptoms due to the risk of osmotically drive water flow across the blood brain barrier causing life-threatening cerebral oedema which causes brain herniation - symptomatic patients with post-operative hyponatramia or hyponatramia cause by an intra-cranial pathology as brain herniation can occur
35
emergency treatment of hyponatraemia
100ml of 3% NaCL over 10-15 minutes
