Perioperative Fluid Mx Flashcards
What is total body water
TBW 60% of body weight 70kg man - 42L
What does total body water separate into what compartments
Intracellular fluid - 40% of that 28L and
Extra cellular fluid - 20% of that 14 L
What doesECF separate into
Interstitial fluid 10L
Intravascular fluid -4L 60-70ml per kg
What happens to body water as we age
Decreases
How does fluid shift
Between the body and the outside world
- intake and output
Between fluid compartment
- osmosis, diffusion and active transport
What is osmosis
Movement of a solvent (water) across a membrane to a region of higher concentration of solute
The of movement is dependent on the number of particles in the solution
What is osmotic pressure
The hydrostatic pressure that must be applied to the solution of greater concentration to prevent water movement across a semi-permeable membrane separating 2 aqueous solution os unequal concentrations
What is osmolarity
Number of osmoles per L
What is osmolality
Number of osmolality per kg
What is plasma osmolality
Posm = 2[Na] + glucose + urea = 290mosmol/kg
Note the absence on plasma proteins (albumin) and colloid osmotic pressure
Consideration is practical fluid balance
Composition of the IV fluid
Assessment of the hydration state
Rules for fluid therapy
Tackling electrolyte imbalance
What are crystalloids
Small molecules/solutes
Water +salt +/- sugar
They are sterile, safe, cheap and have short intra-vascular half life
Where does 0.9% NaCl remain
ECF
Good for resus
Interstitial:intravascular 2:1
Where does 5 % dextrose distribute to
All compartments following metabolism of glucose
What is Hartman’s
Compounds sodium lactate much similar in physiological composition to plasma
