Q

adverse effects of crystalloids (5)

A
  • may cause edema
  • may dilute plasma proteins
  • large volumes required to be effective
  • effects may be short-lived
  • prolonged infusions may worsen alkalosis/acidosis

17
Q

what is the only solution that can be given with blood

A

0.9% NS

18
Q

in which patients should you use NS with caution (2)

A

cardiac disease

renal disease

19
Q

isotonic crystalloid:

  • does not provide free water or calories
  • used to treat hypovolemia, burns, GI fluid losses
A

LR

20
Q

in which patients would the use of LR be contraindicated (4)

A
  • alkalosis
  • lactic acidosis
  • liver disease
  • caution with renal patients
21
Q

isotonic crystalloid:

  • initially isotonic then hypotonic
  • does not provide electrolytes, but provides some calories
  • great for treating hypernatremia
A

D5W

22
Q

when should you not use D5W (2)

A
  • cerebral edema

- resuscitation

23
Q

what patients would benefit from hypotonic crystalloids (2)

A
  • diabetic ketoacidosis

- hyperglycemia

24
Q

when should you not use hypotonic crystalloids (4)

A
  • cerebral edema
  • liver disease
  • trauma
  • burns
25
Q

what is D50W used for

A

hypoglycemia (rapid IV bolus)

26
Q

when would hypertonic crystalloids be useful (3)

A
  • severe hyponatremia
  • head injuries
  • when calories are needed with TPN
27
Q
type of fluid: 
-contain molecules too large to pass through 
capillary walls ("volume expanders")
-require less volume
-longer duration of action
A

colloids

28
Q

5 types colloids

A
  • albumin 5% and 25%
  • dextran 40, 70, 75
  • whole blood
  • packed red blood cells
  • fresh frozen plasma
29
Q

when are colloids useful (2)

A

shock

burns

30
Q

adverse effects colloids (2)

A
  • may alter coagulation

- dextran therapy may cause anaphylaxis or renal failure

31
Q

4 contraindications of dextran

A
  • hypersensitivity
  • heart failure
  • renal insufficiency
  • extreme dehydration
32
Q

type of fluid:

  • improves oxygenation
  • increases colloid osmotic pressure and plasma volume
  • expensive
  • least available
A

blood

33
Q

blood product:

Increase clotting factor levels in patients with demonstrated deficiency

A

fresh frozen plasma

34
Q

blood product:
used to increase oxygen-carrying capacity in patients with anemia, in patients with substantial hemoglobin deficits, and in patients who have lost up to 25% of their
total blood volume

A

packed red blood cells

35
Q

blood product:
more beneficial in cases of extreme (greater than 25%) loss of blood volume because whole blood also contains plasma proteins

A

whole blood

36
Q

disadvantages of using blood products (3)

A
  • possible anaphylaxis
  • possible transfusion reaction
  • possible transmission of pathogens to pt
37
Q

when is the most likely time for a blood transfusion reaction to occur

A

first 15 minutes of transfusion

38
Q

4 important S+S of blood transfusion reactions

A
  • temp rise of 1C above baseline
  • hives
  • chills
  • pruritis
39
Q

what is the order of operations if you suspect a blood transfusion reaction (4 steps)

A
  • stop transfusion and switch to normal saline
  • assess and stabilize patient
  • tell doctor
  • tell blood bank
40
Q

3 types of blood transfusion reactions

A
  1. allergic: hives, itching
  2. febrile: fever, chills, fast heartrate and breathing
  3. hemolytic: chest pain, chills, fever, low bp, increased resp rate
