administer 1 g of TXA in 100 ml normal saline or lactated ringers soon, no later than 3 hours after injuries. Over 10 mins.

18
Q

What is the recommended temperature for TXA?

A

59 - 86 F

19
Q

What are the three types of solution?

A
  1. Colloids
  2. Crystalloids
  3. Blood and blood products
20
Q

What is used to increase the blood volume following severe losses of blood (hemorrhage) or level of plasma ( Severe burns)?

A

Colloids ( Volume Expanders)

21
Q

What fluids consist of water and dissolved crystals, such as salts and sugar, and are used as maintenance fluids to correct body fluids and electrolyte deficit?

A

Crystalloids

22
Q

When the crystalloids contain the same amount of electrolytes as the plasma, it is referred to as?

A

Isotonic

23
Q

What crystalloids have a tonicity equal to the body?

A

Isotonic

24
Q

What are the most common types of Isotonic solutions?

A
  1. Lactated Ringers (LR)
  2. Normal Saline Solution (NSS)
  3. 5% Dextrose in water (D5W)
25
Q

If the crystalloids contain more electrolytes than the body plasma, it is concentrated and referred to as?

A

Hypertonic Solutions

26
Q

What are the uses for Normal Saline Solution (NSS)?

A
  1. Shock
  2. Resuscitation
  3. Fluid Challenges
  4. Blood Transfusions
  5. Metabolic alkalosis
  6. Hyponatremia
  7. DKA
27
Q

What are the uses for lactated Ringers (LR)?

A
  1. Dehydration
  2. Burns
  3. GI tract fluid loss
  4. Acute blood loss
  5. Hypovolemia
28
Q

What are some special considerations with the use of NSS?

A

!. Use in patients with Heart Failure, Edema, and Hypernatremia.
2. Can lead to volume overload.
3. Speeds up the lethal triad of hypothermia, coagulopathy, and acidosis.

29
Q

What is the special consideration for use of LR?

A
  1. Cause Hyperkalemia in renal patients
  2. Patients with liver disease cannot metabolize lactate.
  3. Lactste is converted into bicarb by the liver which with larger volumes can lead to metabolic alkalosis.
30
Q

What is the use for D 5 W?

A
  1. Fluid loss and Dehydration
  2. Hypernatremia
31
Q

What is the special consideration for use if D5W?

A
  1. Solution becomes hypotonic when dextrose is metabolized
  2. Do not use for resuscitation
  3. Use cautiously in renal and cardiac patients
32
