Van Bockern - IV Fluids Flashcards
what are the 2 fluid compartments
intracellular: 60% of body weight
extracellular: 20% of body weight
extracellular fluid consists of
intravascular: 80% of ECP
interstitial: 20% of ECP
both fluid compartments account for __% of our body weight
intracellular: 60% of body weight
40L
intracellular ions
K+
phosphoric acid (-)
non-penetrating anions: proteins, organic anions
extracellular ions
Na+
Cl-
BMP
what is third spacing
-shift of fluid from intravascular to interstitial space
-increased vascular permeability
4 conditions associated w. third spacing losses
pancreatitis
hypoalbuminemia (cirrhosis)
surgery
sepsis
3 goals of IV fluids
replacement/resuscitation
maintenance
electrolyte balance
4 considerations in IVF management
how much
assessment of volume status
sources of loss
maintenance
3 ways to assess fluid volume status
JVP - Janice’s fave
peripheral edema
crackles
6 sources of fluid/lyte loss
renal
respiratory
hemorrhage
GI
skin
third spacing
most significant cause of skin fluid/lyte losses
burns
normal water losses
urine: at least 0.5 L/day
stool: 200 mL/day
insensible (skin/resp): 400-500 mL/day
endogenous metabolism: 250-350 mL/day
total: 1400 mL/day
minimum fluid required for maintenance
60 mL/hr
what type of fluid loss increases w. rr, metabolic state, and body temp
insensible (skin/resp)
daily lyte requirements
Na+: 75-175 mEq
K+: 20-60 mEq
daily CHO requirements
100-150 g/day dex
maintenance dosing for NS
D5 1/2 NS w. 20 mEq/L KCl @ 75 mL/hr = 1.8 L
1.8 L of D5 1/2 NS w. 20mEq KCl maintenance fluids adds how much K+, Na+, and dex
K+: 36 mEq
Na+: 139 mEq
dex: 90 g
4 considerations of volume status management
clinical assessment
daily weights
intake vs output
SCr
3 clinical assessment tools that Janice likes to assess hypervolemia
jvp
body weight
orthopnea
5 sx of hypovolemia
hypotn
tachycardia
oliguria
decreased skin turgor
dry mm
2 types of crystalloid fluids
NS
LR (balanced crystalloid)
colloid fluid
albumin
NS content compared to plasma
NS contains more Na and Cl -> can cause:
-hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis
-chloride mediated renal vasoconstriction
study that janice referenced showed better outcomes (3) when what type of fluid was used
better outcomes w. LR:
-death from any cause
-new renal replacement therapy
-persistent renal dysfxn
what is added to LR to provide buffer
sodium lactate
compared to plasma, LR contains __ Na
and __ K+
less
equal
3 problems w. LR
-falsely high serum lactate measurements
-ionized Ca can cause clots
-4 mEq of K -> hyperkalemia in renal insufficiency
