Q

What is osmosis?

A

Osmosis = water diffuses from diluted solution to concentrated solution through a semi-permeable membrane

Q

How is osmosis prevented?

A

Can prevent osmosis by applying pressure to concentrated solution – osmotic pressure:

  • The more particles in solution the higher the rate of osmosis and therefore the osmotic pressure

Q

Describe the difference between osmolality and osmolarity?

A
  • Osmolality = number of osmoles of solute/kg
  • Osmolarity = number of osmoles solute/litre
  • 1 osmole = 6.02 x 1023 particles
  • Body fluids measured in mOsm/kg

Q

What is tonicity?

A

Tonicity = effective osmolarity

  • Only particles restricted to one of the compartments will determine water distribution
  • Particles that move freely will not influence water distribution
  • Hypertonic solution – causes water to leave cell and cell to shrink
  • Hypotonic solution – causes water to enter cell and cell to swell

Q

What should never be given for resuscitation?

A

Different fluids distribute in the body in different ways due to composition:

  • DO NOT give 5% glucose to resuscitate
    • Need fluid in intervascular space which this will not do
18
Q

What are the different categories of IV fluid types?

A
  • Crystalloids
    • Aqueous solutions that are soluble in water
  • Colloids
    • Insoluble in water, larger molecules
19
Q

What are crystalloids and colloids?

A
  • Crystalloids
    • Aqueous solutions that are soluble in water
  • Colloids
    • Insoluble in water, larger molecules
20
Q

What are examples of crystalloids and colloids?

A
21
Q

What are possible side effects of colloids?

A
  • Anaphylaxis
  • Coagulopathy
  • Renal failure
  • Rheology
22
Q

What are possible side effects of crystalloids?

A
  • ECF expansion
  • Oedema/increased vascular pressure
23
Q

What are sensible and insensible losses?

A
24
Q

A
25
Q

What are examples of insensible losses and the typical values per day?

26
Q

What are some methods of measuring body fluid?

A
  • Clinical assessment (used most often)
    • ABCD assessment, history (thirst, abnormal losses), examination (pulse, BP, capillary refill, JVP, oedema, postural hypotension), clinical monitoring (NEWS, fluid balance charts, weight) and lab assessments (FBC, urea, creatinine and electrolytes)

Q

How much fluid should be given for maintanence?

A
  • 30ml/kg/24 hours (20-25 in frail and elderly)
33
Q

For maintanence, should never give more than x ml/hour?

A

100ml/hour due to risk of hyponatraemia

34
Q

A
  • All IV maintenance given in ml/hour via volumetric pump
35
Q

What fluid is best to use for maintenance?

A
  • 0.18% NaCl/4% glucose/0.3% KCl (40mmol/l KCl)
    • Contraindications – K>=5 then use 0.18% NaCl/4% glucose
36
Q

How much fluid should be given for replacement?

A
  • Add up losses in last 24 hours and give volume back
    • Such as bleeding, D and V, drain output, fistulae
37
Q

What fluid should be given for replacement?

A
  • Plamalyte 148
    • Administration – gravity giving set or volumetric pump
    • Contraindications – upper GI loses use 0.9% NaCl with KCl
38
Q

For plamalyte 148:

  • administration
  • contraindications
A
  • Administration – gravity giving set or volumetric pump
  • Contraindications – upper GI loses use 0.9% NaCl with KCl
39
Q

How much fluid should be given for resuscitation?

A
  • For severe dehydration, sepsis or haemorrhage leading to hypovolaemia and hypotension
    • Fluid challenge 250-500ml over 5-15 mins and reassess
