37
Q

Hypotonic (low concentration

A

think HIPPO (swollen cells blown up cells)
- fat cells swelling hypo/hippo – causes swelling -> LYSIS. Used – cellular dehydration. Saline 0.45%, 0.225% & 0.33%. DO NOT give to patients with increased cranial pressure.

38
Q

Hypertonic (high concentration)

A

Hypertonic think hyperactive skinny! Cells shrink (high concentration) – causes shrinking. Used for – hyponatremia, cerebral oedema. 3 & 5% saline, 10% dex in H2O, 5% dex in 0.9 or 0.45 NS, 5% dex in LR – typically via central venous catheter.

39
Q

Isotonic

A

Isotonic (equal concentration) No change = inc ECF. 0.9% NS, lactated ringers, 5% in H2O, 5% dex 0.225% NS. Given when blood loss, dehydration, surgery (aka volume loss)

40
Q

Crystalloids

A

Crystalloids – clear fluids made up of water and electrolytes, will cross semi-permeable membranes, e.g. LR, NS & dex. Used for fluid resuscitation in the presence of hypovolemia, hemorrhage, sepsis, and dehydration
