Treatment with IVF Flashcards
What are the types of fluids?
- Fresh Frozen Plasma
- Packed RBC’s
- Whole blood
- Crystalloids
A. IV Fluids - Colloids
what are colloids?
- Albumin
- Dextran
- Hetastarch (HES)
- Mannitol (alcohol sugar/osmotic diuretic)
What are the possible isotonic fluids?
- NS
2. RL
What are the 1/2 isotonic fluids?
- 1/2 NS
What are the electrolyte free solutions?
5% dextrose
10% dextrose
What are the dextrose, electrolyte solutions?
- 5% DNS
- D5, 1/2 NS
- D5, 0.33% NaCl
- D5, 0.2% NaCl
What are the ped maintenance fluids?
Isolyte P
What are the IV crystalloids?
1. Isotonic A. NS, LR, (D5W) 2. Hypotonic A, ½ NS, ¼ NS, 2.5% DW, (D5W in body) 3. Hypertonic A. 3% NS, 5% NS, (D5 ½ NS, D5 NS, D5 LR)
What happens to cells in hypotonic solutions?
- Fluid shift into cells
- Used for cellular hydration
- Watch for decreased BP d/t decreased blood volume
- Don’t use: low bp, increased ICP, stroke, neuro pt, liver, trauma, surgery, burns
What happens to cells in hypertonic solutions?
- Fluid shifts out cells
- Used for: hypovolemia, vascular expansion, increase urine output, 3rd spacing, DKA
- Watch for hypervolemia, increased NaCl, extravasations, cellular
dehydration, hypergycemia - Not for use in: renal pts, cardiac pts, dehydration
Where do crystalloid fluids diffuse into?
Crystalloids across the intravascular & extracellular only
Where do colloids move into?
Most colloids across the intravascular compartment only
What is isotonic solution?
- One that has same solute concentration as another solution
- Therefore, two equally concentrated fluids in adjacent compartments are in balance
- No net shift of fluid
What are the isotonic solutions?
- Normal saline 0.9% NS
- Lactated Ringer’s
- D5W (dextrose 5% in water)
What is NS used for?
- Volume replacement
A. Can accompany blood transfusion - Initial fluid replacement in DKA
- Shock
When is NS contraindicated?
- CHF
- Edema
- Hypernatremia
What is LR used for?
- Acute blood loss
- Burns
- Dehydration/hypovolemia
- Septic shock
- Lower GI tract fluid loss
When is LR used cautiously?
- Renal failure patients
A. Can cause hyperkalemia - Liver disease
A. Patients can’t metabolize lactate
