Pharm week 3 Flashcards
blood capabilities
Carrying oxygen Clotting
Oncotic pressure
Cleanse plasma of harmful constituents by exchanges
water in body is made of
Intracellular fluid (ICF) Interstitial fluid (ISF) Plasma volume (PV)
Fluid inside blood vessels
Intravascular fluid (IVF)
Extravascular volume
ISF (interstitial fluid)
ICF (intracellular fluid)
Extracellular volume
Plasma
Interstitial fluid (ISF): fluid in space between cells, tissues, and organs
Plasma proteins exert constant osmotic pressure****
Colloid oncotic pressure (COP)
Normally 24 mm Hg
ISF exerts hydrostatic pressure (HP)
Normally 17 mm Hg
water lost through kidneys
Urine excretion accounts for 50% to 60% of total daily water loss
blood
Only class of fluids that are able to carry oxygen
Increase plasma volume
blood products can increase
Increase COP and PV
Pull fluid from extravascular space into intravascular space (plasma expanders)
we are looking to manage
Management of acute bleeding (greater than 50%
slow blood loss or 20% acutely). THEY would get plasma protein factors (PPF).
if we need to increase clotting factors, we use
Fresh frozen plasma (FFP)
adverse affects of transfusions
Incompatibility with recipient’s immune system
Transfusion reaction
Anaphylaxis
Transmission of pathogens to recipient (hepatitis, HIV)
PRBCs (packed RBCs)
PRBCs: for blood loss up to 25% of total blood volume
whole blood
for blood loss over 25% of total blood volume
colloids
Albumin 5% and 25% (from human donors)
Dextran 40, 70, or 75 (a glucose solution)
Hetastarch (synthetic, derived from cornstarch)
colloids
Superior to crystalloids in PV expansion, but more
expensive
colloids disadvantages
May cause altered coagulation, resulting in bleeding
Have no clotting factors or oxygen-carrying capacity
Few others
types of crystalloids
Hydrating solutions
Isotonic solutions
Maintenance solutions
Hypertonic solutions
crystalloids
Better for treating dehydration rather than
expanding plasma volume
crystalloids - Used as maintenance fluids to
Compensate for insensible fluid losses
Replace fluids
Manage specific fluid and electrolyte disturbances
Promote urinary flow
types of crytalloids
Normal saline (0.9% sodium chloride)
Half normal saline (0.45% sodium chloride)
Hypertonic saline (3% sodium chloride)
Lactated Ringer’s solution
D5W
Plasma-Lyte
