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.
