L12: Fluid Therapy Flashcards
MindMap of Fluid Therapy
Body water
Characters of Fluid movement between the intravascular & interstitial spaces
ICF about …… of TBW & ECF about ….. of TBW.
- 55-75%
- 25-45%
Intravascular (1) : Extravascular (3)
Concentration of electrolytes in body
what ion represents a Principal component of ECF?
Na
Role of Na in fluid balance
Responsible for much of extracellular fluid osmolality.
what ion represents a Principal component of ICF?
K
Role of K in action potential
key role in the maintenance of transmembrane potentials.
Classification of IV Fluids
Compare between Crystalloids & Colloids in terms of:
- Composition
- Characters
- Importance
Mindmap of crystalloids & Colloids
Def of Crystalloids
- Electrolyte solutions with small molecules that can diffuse freely from intravascular to interstitial fluid compartments.
what is a principal component of Crystalloids?
sodium chloride
- Sodium is principal determinant of extracellular volume, and is distributed uniformly in the extracellular fluid.
Volume effect of Crystalloids
Classification of Crystalloids according to tonicity
Classification of Crystalloids according to ionization
General Characters of Crystalloids
- Contains water & electrolytes.
- Non-ionic solutions expand all the compartments (Intracellular & extracellular space).
Sodium cannot gain access into the intracellular space. - Hence all sodium will remain in the extracellular space thus expanding
what is One of the most commonly administered crystalloids?
Normal Saline
History of Normal Saline
Uses of normal saline across the history
what are names of Normal Saline?
0.9% saline
= Normal saline = Physiological saline = Isotonic saline
why are none of the previous names accurate?
- The concentration of a one-normal (1 N) NaCL solution is 58 grams per liter How? Molecular weights of sodium + molecular weights of chloride = 23 + 35 = 58
- While 0.9% NaCL contains only 9 grams of NaCL per liter.
Composition of Normal Saline
Pharmacological basis of Normal Saline
- Provide major extracellular electrolytes.
- Corrects both water & electrolyte deficit.
- Increase intravascular volume substantially.
Volume effects of Normal Saline
what are disadvantages of Normal Saline?
Indications of Normal Saline
Limitations of Normal Saline
why is Normal Saline used in hypovolemic shock?
- Distributed in ECS expanding the intravascular volume.
- Ideal fluid to Increase blood pressure.
History of Ringer Fluids
Composition of Ringer Lactate
why is Ringer Lactate the most physiological fluid? and what are the advantages of this?
- As the electrolyte content is similar to that of plasma, So Larger volumes can be infused without the risk of electrolyte imbalance.
Pharmacological basis of Ringer Lactate
The most physiological fluid:
- As the electrolyte content is similar to that of plasma.
- So Larger volumes can be infused without the risk of electrolyte imbalance.
Effective in treatment of hypovolemia:
- Due to high Nat content (130mEq/L) -> Rapidly expands intravascular volume.
Useful in correction of metabolic acidosis:
- As sodium Lactate in RL is metabolized to Bicarbonate in the liver.
what is the most physiological fluid?
Ringer’s Lactate
Advantages of Ringer Lactate
Lack of significant effect on acid base balance.
why isn’t it recommended to give Ringer Lactate with Stored blood?
lonized calcium “in ringer’s lactate” Binds to citrated anticoagulant “in stored blood” and Promote formation of clots.
Disadvantages of Ringer Lactate
why isn’t Ringer Lactate recommended in critically ill patients with impaired lactate clearence?
“due to circulatory shock or hepatic insufficiency” —-> Can 11 serum lactate levels.
Indications of Ringer Lactate
what is the fluid of choice in Diarrhea-induced dehydration in pediatric patients?
Ringer’s lactate
Limitations of Ringer Lactate
why is Ringer Lactate CI in vomiting or continuous nasogastric aspiration?
Hypovolemia is associated with metabolic alkalosis, As RL provides HCO3 - Worsens alkalosis.
what drugs should you avoid giving Ringer’s lactate with? and why shouldn’t we?
- Amphotericin
- Ampicillin
- Thiopental
- Doxycycline
Calcium binds with these drugs and #I bioavailability & efficiency.
