Week 9: Fluids Flashcards
body fluid
total body water=60%
intracellular 2/3 TBW
extracellular 1/3 TBW (intersititial fluid 3/4 of ECF, intravascular/plasma 1/4 of ECF)
plasma
5% of body weight
blood volume
8-9%-dogs and large animals
6-7& cats
calculating blood volume
dogs and large animals=90 ml/kg lean body weight
cats-60ml/kg lean body weight
electrolytes
cations: pos charge
anions=neg charge
colloids
large molecular weight
plasma protein
anions
chloride CL-
Bicarbonate HCO3-
Phosphates HPOr-
Proteins
cations
sodium NA+
Potassium K+
Magnesium MG 2+
Calcum CA2+
homeostasis
normal constant state
water solute movement
passive and active diffusion
Water permiability
across all membranes
concentration gradient
Electrolyte permeability
across vascular membrane not cellular
distributes throughout ECF
Colloid Permeability
fluid with large molecules
stay within the vasculature
water solute balance
pos and neg charge must be equal
solute provide osmotic pressure
small solutes pass freely intravascular space from interstitial space
IV fluids
1/3 fluids stay in intravascular space, 2/3 interstitial
Dehydration
depletes ECF
perioperative hemorrhage
loss of intravascular space
hypertonic saline or colloid
low albumin
blood plasma or colloid solution
IV
fast/versatile preferred
SQ
absorbed 6-8 hrs
isotonic
IO
fast alternative to IV
neonates
Crystalloids
electrolytes in water
hypotonic
isotonic
hypertonic
