IV Prep Flashcards
receptors that detect fluid
deficit
Osmoreceptors
receives signals from
osmoreceptors
Hypothalamus
effector organ when there is
fluid deficit
Pituitary gland
secretes ADH
and oxytocin
Posterior Pituitary Gland
Where are fluids located
Extracellular and Intracellular fluids
2 major divisions of ECF
Intravascular Fluid and Interstitial Fluid
Liquid part of blood
Intravascular
between cells and
outside blood vessels
Interstitial
Minor division of ECF
Transcellular fluid
An important regulator of fluid intake when plasma osmolality increases
Thirst
Passive movement of molecules from area
of higher to lower concentration
Diffusion
Also known as “water deficit”
Hypernatremia
Also known as “water excess”
Hyponatremia
Also known as “overhydration”
Hypervolemia
Indication that the patient is overhydrated / has excessive water
Pitting Edema
Chloride normal range
96 to 106 mmol/L
Phosphorus normal range
1.8 - 2.6 mEq / L
Potassium normal range
3.5 to 5.0 mEq/L
Calcium normal range serum value
4.3 to 5.3 mEq/L
Magnesium normal range serum value
1.5 - 1.9 mEq/L
Arises from alveolar
hypoventilation. Lungs are unable to excrete enough CO2
Respiratory acidosis
Kidneys are unable to excrete
enough metabolic acid. Increases pH of the blood
Metabolic Acidosis
Arises from alveolar hyperventilation. Lungs excrete too much CO2
Respiratory Alkalosis
Often designed for a one-time use and
discarded after use
Intermittent catheter
Arises from direct increase in
base (bicarbonate) or decrease in
metabolic acid
Metabolic Alkalosis
An efficient and effective method of
supplying fluids directly into the
intravascular fluid compartment and
replacing electrolyte losses
IV fluid therapy
- Has bigger drops compared to micro set
- Drip / drop chamber does NOT have a filter
Macro set
- Usually for pediatric patients or children
- Drip / drop chamber does NOT have a filter
Micro set
Drip chamber has a filter that prevents
blood clotting
Blood transfusion set
To administer blood or blood components
such as the RBCs, platelets, or plasma
Blood Transfusion
acts as a receptor to determine if
there is blood loss present
Kidney
3 bodily fluid compartments
Plasma, interstitial Fluid, intracellular fluid
Also known as cytosol
Intracellular fluid
is the water portion of the fluids.
