Lecture 5/10 Flashcards
What percentage of body weight in males is water? Females?
Total Body Water=60% of body weight in males and 55% of body weight in females. Up to 80% body weight in infants. Less in obese; fat contains little water
How much of total body water is intracellular?
two thirds
How much of total body water is extracellular?
one third
Of the extracellular water, how much is extravascular?
2/3-3/4
Of the extracellular water, how much is intravascular?
1/4-1/3
What is the approximate intravascular volume of a 60 kg female?
3.8 L
What is the approximate intravascular volume of a 70 kg male?
5 L
What factors can be used to preopratively assess fluid status?
mental status, h/o intake and output, blood pressure: supine and standing, heart rate, skin turgor, urinary output, serum BUN/osmolarity
Orthostatic hypotension is defined as….
systolic blood pressure decrease of >than 20 mm Hg from supine to standing (10% decrease normal 12-20% is borderline)
What percentage fluid deficit is indicated by orthostatic hypotension?
6-8%
In the presence of orthostatic hypotension, a failure of heart rate to increase may indicate….
autonomic dysfunction or antihypertensive drug therapy (beta-blockers)
What factors must you consider for perioperative fluid requirements?
maintenance fluid requirements, compensatory fluid bolus, NPO and other deficits: NG suction, bowel prep, Third Space losses, replacement of blood loss, special additional losses
How do you calculate maintenance fluid requirements?
1.5 ml/kg/hr for adults or 4:2:1 rule (4 ml/kg/hr for the 1st 10 kg of body weight, 2 mL/kg/hr for 2nd 10 kg, 1 mL/kg/hr for every kg thereafter)
How much is a customary compensatory fluid bolus early in anesthetic?
500 mL in 70 kg patient
How much fluid should be given to compensate for a bowel prep?
1 L
NPO deficit is calculated by…
number of hours NPO x maintenance fluid requirement (but usually start the hours at wake up time)
