PcmIV Flashcards
Saline lock
An IV cannula placed that allows for immediate administration of medications intravenously. Flushed with saline each shift, to maintain patency
Maintenance IV
solution that is given at a constant rate, round-the-clock. Examples include patients that are unable to maintain their fluid needs by mouth (after surgery, intractable vomiting, comatose, etc.)
Piggy back
Additional medication given IV by utilizing a port included in the maintenance IV tubing; runs concurrently with the maintenance IV
Bolus
A specific volume given over a short period of time (i.e. 250ml wide open—as fast as the fluid can be administered within the vein
Colloid
Does not readily pass through a membrane; i.e. intravascular and extravascular (interstitial) fluid compartments
Crystalloid
Pass readily through a membrane; i.e. intravascular and extravascular (interstitial) fluid compartments
Isotonic solution
Osmolality near that of plasma (>250mOsm/L but <375mOsm/L)
Hypotonic
Osmolality that is less than that of plasma (<250mOsm
Hypertonic
Osmolality greater than that of plasma (>375mOsm
Free water
Water not bound by macromolecules
Calculate maintenance fluid
Hourly rate 4 ml for 1 – 10kg +
2 ml for 11 – 30kg + 1 ml for each >30kg
70 kg person = 120 ml/hr
Body water deficit calculate
{0.6 x weight (kg) X (patient Na – 140 [nl Na])}/ 140 [nl Na] Ex: 0.6 X 70 X (144 – 140)/ 140 = 1.2 L deficit
Crystalloid
solutions of salts and electrolytes used for volume expansion. Examples includes NS, LR, D5W
Colloids
solutions that contain large molecules and provide oncotic pressure in addition to volume expansion. Examples include protein solutions such as albumin and non-protein solutions such as Dextran and Hydroxyethyl starch (HES

When use isotonic
solutions can be used for maintenance fluids or resuscitation. Maintenance fluids applies to situations when a patient is unable to drink or take in enough fluids to maintain physiologic needs. Examples include post-operative period, inability to swallow or protect airway from aspiration (facial trauma, acute CVA), burns, or intubation
AE isotonic
Fluid resuscitation includes dehydration, hypovolemia or shock (any type). During fluid resuscitation, the goal is to keep fluids within the intravascular space. Isotonic solutions are the best choice, with NS preferred. However, during high volume resuscitation with NaCl, it is possible to overload the Cl- and induce a hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis (NAGMA).
Use LR
LR is also be used for vascular expansion and electrolyte replacement
Hypertonic solution use
solutions: 3%NS may be used with caution in extreme cases of hyponatremia (Na ~115). Must be done slowly with frequent sodium monitoring. It may induce Osmotic Demyelination Syndrome (Locked-in Syndrome), iatrogenic hypernatremia, fluid overload
Hypotonic
HYPOTONIC solutions have an abundance of free water, such as 0.45% NS. Hypotonic solutions do not stay in the vascular space. They will move into ICF causing them to reach a lower osmolality (cellular swelling
When use D5w and d10w
D5W and D10W are generally used to treat hypoglycemia. While D5W is isotonic, the uptake of the glucose leaves behind no solute, thus is often considered hypotonic and NOT used for resuscitation as it may cause fluid overload. Generally does not change the glucose concentration of the patient as it is assimilated into the cells. However, in a diabetic patient it may not be assimilated and can cause hyperglycemia
Free water
Water not bound by macromolecules. When applied to IV fluids, will cause a shift of fluids into the cells (ICF) from the vascular space (ECF).
