Muster Week 1 Flashcards
body fluid compartments
- intracellular
- intravascular
- interstitial
TBW
60% water M
50% water F
55,500 mM (millimoles)
“stuff”
Na, K, Cl, urea, HCO3-, WOA, albumin, glucose, Mg, Ph
osmolality
total free solute (mM)/Kg of solvent
osmolarity
total free solute (mM)/L of solvent
milliosmoles
units of osmolarity or millimoles of total free solute
primary solutes in plasma (intravascular)
Na+ (140mM)* K+ (5mM)* glucose (5mM/90mg) Ca++ (4mM) PO4- (6mM)* anions (20mM)* Cl- (105mM) HCO3- (25mM) urea (6mM)
in mM/L
primary solutes in interstitum
Na+ (140mM)*
K+ (5mM)*
PO4- (6mM)*
anions 0*
in mM/L
primary solutes intracellular
Na+ (~3mM)** K+ (140mM)** PO4- (10mM)** Cl- (10mM) anions (45mM)** protein- IMPERMEABLE
THIS ONE IS DIFFERENT
in mM/L
charge of albumin
A-
(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)!!!
RESPONSIBLE FOR ANION GAP
anion gap = albumin
[Na+ -(Cl- + HCO3-)] = 8-12
*should get a gap/difference in charges (+/-) by concentration because haven’t accounted for albumin (-) = anion gap
anion gap
think albumin (-) anion gap = albumin = 8-12
- if off, have some other ion put into the blood stream (other +/- stuff or acids/bases) because albumin balances with Ca, FA, H, drugs, etc.
ex: sickness, diabetic ketoacidosis, etc.
osmolality/L of plasma
~300mM/L
interstitial fluid is plasma without ______
ALBUMIN.
so no negative charges….creates concentration/electrochemical gradient
capillary wall characteristics
FENESTRATED
semi-permeable membrane
constantly under pressure (blood pressure)
impermeable to albumin
in general, under NORMAL circumstances, the capillary pressure (Pc) is…
opposed EQUAL AND OPPOSITE by the oncotic capillary pressure (Pic)
kf [(Pc + Pii) - (Pi + Pic)] in mmHg = filtration equation/NET STATE OF FLOW
kf[(25 + 0) - (0 + 25)] = 0
stuff moves but the capillaries don’t leak!
Net state of flow equation
kf (force favoring filtration) - (forces favoring reabsorption) = net state of flow
kf [(Pc + Pii) - (Pi + Pic)] in mmHg
forces favoring filtration
pressure within capillary (Pc)
oncotic pressure within interstitial space (Pii)
forces favoring reabsorption
oncotic pressure within capillary (Pic)
pressure within interstitial space (Pi)
protein osmotic pressure names (Pic)
= oncotic pressure
colloid pressure
osmotic pressure
oncotic pressure
- created by the ~1mM plasma albumin within a permeable capillary that is impermeable to A-
- draws fluid into capillary space
- measured in mmHg but is just another way to measure [Alb-]
- force of draw is ratio of oncotic pressure:hydrostatic pressure; albumin:blood pressure
force of draw into capillary space
oncotic pressure:hydrostatic pressure;
albumin:blood pressure
osmolality of intracellular
~300mM/L
same
Differences between intracellular and plasma…
MORE K+
LESS Na+
How is this change (between intracell and intersti/plasma) maintained?
How?! —> ATPase
Something has to keep the gradient otherwise cells burst and die (because cell membrane controlled, not fenestrated)
Why is digitalis (digoxin) so dangerous?
Because it inhibits Na+/K+ ATPase…disrupts membrane concentration gradient…CELLS BURST AND DIE –> MAJOR DAMAGE –> FATAL
isosmotic
- any solution that has ~300mOsms
isotonic
- any solution that will NOT change the volume of a cell
- need 300mOsom of impermeable solutes
isoncotic
- any solution with 1mM of plasma albumin or ~4.5g/100mL
OR - any solution with protein osmotic pressure of ~25mmHg
Fluids are _____.
drugs
Losing blood problem… hypotensive and tachycardic
intravascular problem
SOB problem… hypotensive and bradycardic, pitting edema, elevated creatinine
interstitial problem
Types of fluid
Normal saline (0.9%)
1/2 NS (0.45%)
D5
NS
osmolality: 308mM/L
Na+: 154 mM/L
Cl-: 154mM/L
1/2 NS
osmolality: 150mM/L
Na+: 75mM/L
Cl-: 75mM/L
D5
osmolality: 300mM/L
Na+: 0
Cl-: 0
glucose: 280mM/L
TBW = Vd
changes when patients are critically ill (like in sepsis)
intracellular fraction TBW
2/3
extracellular fraction TBW
1/3
interstitial (extracellular) fraction TBW
3/4
plasma (extracellular) fraction TBW
1/4
average patient weight
70kg
So…TBW, intracell, etc. breakdown per L (using weight)
TBW: 42L intracellular water: 28L extracellular: 14L interstitial (extracellular): 11L plasma (extracellular): 3L
Amount TBW in plasma and importance of it
plasma: 3L (7.5% of TBW)
* that’s not much, which is why if have arterial bleed, can die within 10 minutes!!!
If you drink water, where does it distribute?
It will distribute proportionately according to the volume of the compartments, to ALL, nothing stopping it.
1L: 3/42 to plasma, 11/42 to interstitial, 28/42 to intracellular
= 333mL to extracellular, 666mL to intracellular
What allows water to distribute to all body fluid compartments?
- fenestrations of capillaries
- aquaporins of cell membranes
If you infuse 1L NS, where does it distribute?
It will distribute to interstitial and plasma (extracellularly).
1L: 3/14 to plasma, 11/14 to interstitial = 214mL to plasma, 786mL to interstitium
Situations calling for NS
- DKA
- sepsis: haven’t lost fluid, but inflamed/dilated vessels so DECREASED BP (give fluids to fill up that extra cellular space and increase BP)
- secretory diarrhea: losing Na, Cl, and water (replace)
