Paulson - Intro to Fluids Flashcards
water balance is determined by
water intake
water output
3 forms of water input
ingested water
water in food
water from oxidation
4 forms of water output
urine
skin
respiratory tract
stool
2 types of body water
intracellular
extracellular/intravascular
intracellular body water accounts for __ of total body water
extracellular/intravascular body water accounts for __ of total body water
intracellular: ⅔
extracellular/intravascular: ⅓
intravascular compartment is called __
intracellular compartment is called __
intravascular: first space
intracellular: second space
space where fluid doesn’t usually accumulate but may
third space
examples of third space (3)
pleural cavity
peritoneal cavity
edema in extracellular space
drugs are administered into __ space
and should distribute evenly to __ space
first
second
4 conditions that can cause third spacing
surgery
major trauma
burns
inflammation
fluid related implication of third spacing
fluid/lytes/meds not bioavailable
2 types of fluid therapy
maintenance
replacement
replacement of ongoing water losses of water and lytes under normal physiologic conditions (urine, sweat, respiration, stool)
maintenance therapy
correction of existing water and lyte deficits from GI, skin, urinary, bleeding, third spacing
replacement therapy
3 things that increase maintenance fluid requirements
tachypnea
fever
diuretics
3 reasons for hypovolemia in surgical pt’s
NPO pre/post surgery
blood loss
third spacing
steps to calculate maintenance therapy
- calculate body wt
- calculate fluid needed over 24 hr
- divide total ml by 24 hr for a ml/hr rate
calculation for fluid needed over 24 hr
100 ml/kg for frist 10 kg
50 ml/kg for second 10 kg
20 ml/kg for each kg over 20
most physiologic replacement in normal circumstances
D5½NS + 20 mEq K/L
what is the 4/2/1 rule for hourly rate of maintenance fluids
4 ml for kg 1-10
2 ml for kg 11-20
1 ml for each kg kg 21 or higher
3 ex of dehydration deficit to account for in maintenance fluid therapy
dry
tachycardic
shock
dry deficit accounts for __% loss
3
5% if < 5 yo
tachycardic deficit accounts for __% loss
6%
10% if < 5yo
shock deficit accounts for __ % loss
9%
15% if < 5 yo
3 indications of dry deficit
dry mm
dry tongue
poor turgor
