What are the 2 types of Dextran

A
  • Dextran 40
  • Dextran 70
22
Q

When are albumin preparations used

A
  • edematous patients to mobilize interstitial fluid into vascular space
    • not useful if pt’s serum albumin > 2.5 mg/dL
  • liver disease, peritonitis, burns, or surgical patients experiencing third spacing
23
Q

Function of Dextran

A
  • a synthetic glucose polymer which expands intravascular volume equal to the amount infused
24
Q

function of Hetastarch

A
  • a glycogen-like synthetic molecule that increases the vascular volume to an amount > or = to the volume infused
  • more frequently used intra-operatively
25
Q

List the 3 types of blood products

A
  1. packed red blood cells
  2. platelets
  3. fresh frozen plasma
26
Q

where do packed red blood cells distribute

A

remain entirely within the vascular space

27
Q

when are packed red blood cells used

A
  • used with crystalloids to expand intravascular volume
  • blood transfusions
    • hemorrhage, severe anemia
    • patients must be types and screened/crossed in order to determine blood type and antibodies prior to transfusion
28
Q

When are platelets given

A
  • used in patients with thrombocytopenia or impaired platelet function to prevent or treat bleeding
29
Q

when is fresh frozen plasma given

A
  • used to correct major bleeding complications in patients on warfarin and/or with vitamin K deficiency
30
Q

IVF can be given in what three amounts

A
  1. bolus
  2. maintenance
  3. replacement
31
Q

What type of IVF can be used for boluses

A

32
Q

how much is given in a bolus

A

33
Q

use cation when given boluses to people with

A

heart failure

34
Q

Function of Maintenance IVF

A
  • maintains/accounts for ongoing losses of water and electrolytes under normal physiological conditions via urine, sweat, respirations, and stool
  • used when patients are not eating or drinking normally
  • goal to provide water and electrolyte balance
35
Q

what IVF is normally used for Maintenance IVF

36
Q

What is the Kg method for determining maintenance IVF for normal adult patients

A
  • for 1st 10 kg of body weight -> 100 ml/kg/day
  • for 2nd 10 kg of body weight -> 50 ml/kg/day
  • for weight >20 kg -> 20 ml/kg/day
  • divide the total of the above by 24 hours to determine hourly rate of infusion
37
Q

What is the Kg method for determining maintenance IVF for pediatric patients

A
  • weight < 10 kg -> 100 ml/kg
  • weight > 10 kg to 20 Kg -> 1000 ml for 1st 10 kg + 50 ml/kg for weight over 10 kg

can a bolus containing potassium be given

A

NO

39
Q

What is the function of Replacement IVF

A
  • corrects any existing water and electrolyte deficits caused by GI, urinary, skin, or blood losses of “third spacing”
  • monitor vital signs, urine output and clinical picture
40
Q

caution must be exercised when given replacement IVF to patients who are hypo or hypernatremic due to

A

could lead to osmotic demyelination - central pontine myelinolysis

41
Q

in addition to maintenance fluids, surgical patients need replacement of fluids lost from

A
  • urine output
  • blood loss
  • “third spacing”
42

What is the Parkland formula

A
  • total fluid required during first 24 hours in burn victims
    • (percentage of 2nd and 3rd degree burns ) x (body weight in kg) x 4 mL
43
Q

what type of IVF is given to burn patient s

A

LR

44
Q

what is the rule of nines

A
  • each arm = 9%

45
Q

What are the two types of parenteral nutrition

A
  1. total parenteral nutrition (TPN)
  2. peripheral parenteral nutrition (PPN)
46
Q

when is total parenteral nutrition (TPN) indicated

A
  • small bowel resection or complete bowel resection
  • inflammatory bowel disease
  • anticipated or actual inadequate energy intake by mouth
  • significant multisystem disease
47
Q

route of entry of total parenteral nutrition (TPN)

A
  • requires central venous access via SVC
    • most common type of parenteral access
    • parenteral nutrition support is expected to be long-term (>7 days)
48
Q

route of entry for PPN

A
  • requires peripheral venous access
    • parenteral nutrition support is expected to be short term (< 7 days)
49
Q

What should be monitored when patient is on TPN

A
  • intake and output
  • daily weights
  • labs
    • electrolytes, BUN, creatinine, glucose, calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, LFT, triglycerides
