Q

What is third spacing?

A
  • Fluid accumulation in the interstitium of tissues (EDEMA)

Q

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

11
Q

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
A

Colloids

Q

What are the different types of crystalloids?

A
  • Isotonic crystalloids (same salt conc. as blood):
    1. 0.9% NS
    2. Lactated Ringer
    3. Plasma- Lyte
  • Hypertonic crystalloid (higher salt conc than blood):
    1. 3% NS
  • Hypotonic crystalloid (lower salt conc than blood):
    1. 0.5 NS
    2. 0.25 NS
  • Other
    • D5W (5% dextrose in water)
    • D5 1/2NS
17
Q

Which type of crystalloid?

  • Solution w/ lower salt conc. than normal cells of body/blood
  • 0.5 NS, 0.25 NS
A

Hypotonic crystalloids

18
Q

What is the preferred choice of IVF for treatment of dehydration and hypovolemia?

A

Isotonic Crystalloid

(NS, LR and Plasma-Lyte can be used for IV boluses)

19
Q

What is the preferred type of IVF for severe hypovolemia (resuscitation)?

(this should be corrected as rapidly as possible to correct intravascular volume depletion)

A

Isotonic Crystalloids

20
Q

In addition to NaCl, what 3 other things does Lactated Ringer contain?

A
  • Lactate
  • K+
  • Ca2+
21
Q

Which Isotonic Crystalloid contains less chloride and is the most physiologic solution?

A

Plasma-Lyte

22
Q

Which type of IVF is most valuable in situations where there is life threatening hyponatremia w/ significant water excess?

A

Hypertonic Crystalloid

(3% NS)

23
Q

Which type of IVF can also be used in neurosurgical patients to decrease cerebral edema?

A

Hypertonic Crystalloid

(3% NS)

24
Q

Why do you have to be very cautious with giving Hypertonic Crystalloids?

A

Overly rapid correction of sodium can lead to central pontine myelinolysis (CPM)

25
Q

Which type of IVF?

  • ›Used for maintenance fluids
  • ›Are inadequate for replacing intravascular volume deficits
  • ›Not used for treatment of dehydration/hypovolemia

29
Q

A

MORE likely

30
Q

When are colloids used?

A
  • ›When crystalloids fail to sustain plasma volume due to low osmotic pressure
  • ›Example: patients with burns or peritonitis where there is considerable protein loss from vascular space.
31
Q

Patiens w/ burns or peritonitis (where there are considerable protein loss from vascular space) can be treated with which type of IVF?

A

Colloids

**there is no strong data to support the use of colloids in severe hypovolemia (also is more expensive)**

“HAD”

33
Q

A
  • Albumin preparations (5% albumin or 25% albumin)
  • (not useful if serum albumin >2.5mg)
  • used as a plasma expander
34
Q

Which type of IVF is helpful in patients with liver disease, peritonitis or burns or surgical patients experiencing “third spacing”

A

Albumin Preparations (5% albumin, 25% albumin)

35
Q

Although there’s a theoretical assumption that colloids lead to better intravascular volume expansion compared to crystalloids, what have studies shown?

A

Studies show that even though albumin WAS found in increase serum albumin levels and mean arterial pressure,

there was NO difference in 28 or 90 day mortality.
