IV Fluids 1- MJ Flashcards
What are the 5 causes of hypovolemia?
- GI losses (bleeding, NG suction, V/D)
- Renal losses (salt and water loss from diuretics, water loss from diabetes insipidus)
- Skin losses (sweat, burns)
- Sequestration without loss (intestinal obstruction, pancreatitis, rhabdomyolysis)
- Hemorrhage/bleeding
What are the 4 types of GI losses that can cause hypovolemia?
- Bleeding
- NG suction
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
What are the 2 types of renal lossses that can lead to hypovolemia?
- Salt and water loss: diuretics
- Water loss: Diabetes insipidus
What are the 3 things that can cause sequestration without loss leading to hypovolemia?
- Intestinal obstruction
- Pancreatitis
- Rhabdomyolysis
“RIP”
The following are clinical features of what?
- Increased thirst
- decreased sweating
- Decreased skin turgor & dry mucus membranes
- Oliguria with increased urine concentration
- CNS depression
- Weakness and muscle cramps
- Decreased BP
- postural hypotension/dizziness
- Increased pulse
- postural pulse increase
Hypovolemia
What is third spacing?
- Fluid accumulation in the interstitium of tissues (EDEMA)
- Occurs when fluid accumulates in areas that normally have no fluid/minimal fluid
- Pt looks fluid overloaded but has a relative hypovolemia
What are 3 examples of third spacing?
- Ascites
- Edema associated with burns
- Pleural effusions
T/F: Third spacing can cause a relative hypovolemia
TRUE
What are the 3 types of replacement IVF?
- Crystalloids (contains electrolytes)
- Colloids (Contains both large organic macromolecules and electrolytes)
- Blood and blood products
Which replacement IVF?
- Fluids that contains electrolytes which easily pass through vascular endothelial membrane barriers followed by water, leading to their equilibrating between the intravascular & extracellular space
Crystalloids
Which type of Replacement IVF?
- Fluids that contain both large organic marcomolecules and electrolytes
- The Lrg molecules can’t cross endothelial membrane (capillary walls)–> fluids retained w/in intravascular space more than crystalloids due to higher oncotic pressure
Colloids
Which type of crystalloid?
- Solutions w/ the same salt concentration as normal cells of the body and blood
- Types= Normal Saline (0.9% NS), Lactated Ringer, Plasma-Lyte
Isotonic Crystalloids
Which is the only IVF that you can bolus?
Isotonic crystalloids (0.9%NS, Lactated Ringer, Plasma Lyte)
Which type of IVF is the “go to” for resuscitation?
Isotonic Crystalloids (0.9%NS, Lactated Ringer, Plasma Lyte)
Which type of cyrstalloid?
- Solutions w/ higher salt concentrations than normal cells of the body and blood
- 3% NS
- Can be used to tx hyponatremia but have to be careful (CANT bolus)
- Hypertonic crystalloid
