5- Fluid replacement and renal response Flashcards
(34 cards)
What is osmolality
Number of particles of solute per Kg of solvent mOsm/g
What is osmolarity
Solute per litre of solution mOsm/L
What is tonicity
Effective osmotic pressure gradient of two solutions separated by semipermeable membrane
Where does water move when hypotonic
Into cells = swells
Distribution of water in Male
60% 2/3 ICF 1/3 ECF 25% plasma 75% interstitial
Why do women have less fluid
More fluid in muscle then in fat
55% in women 60% men
Total body water of baby
75%
Total body water of elderly
45%
Main intracellular cation and anion
K and PO4
Main extracellular cation and anion
Na and Cl-
What happens to water in hypernatremia
Water drawn out of cell
Shrinks
Confusion/ seizures
What happens to water in hyponatremia
Water moves into cells
Swells
Cerebral oedema
Headache/ seizures
Where does 5% dextrose distribute
Glucose taken up by cell H2O reduces osmolarity of all compartments 2/3 rd to intracellular 1/3 to interstitial 1/12 to intravascular
Where does NaCl 0.9% go
Remains in ECF
3/4 interstitial
1/4 intravascular
Where does Hartmanns go
Majority retained in ECF
3/4 and 1/4
Composition of Hartmanns
Na, K, Ca, Lactate (metabolised into HCO3)
Where does 4% dextrose, 0.18% saline go
Effectively 200ml NaCl and 800ml dextrose
200ml remains in ECF
Then 800 ml distributes 2/3, 1/4, 1/12
Why do patients need fluid
NBM GI malfunction Fluid loss Dehydration Electrolyte imbalance
How are hospitalised patients requirements different
Do not sweat excessively
Stress response- RAAS - Na reabsorbed = retention
ADH- pain, nausea, drugs
NICE guidelines- maintenance
25-30ml/kg/day water
1mmol kg/day K,Na,Cl
50-100g/day glucose
NICE guidelines- resus
500ml bolus
Up to 2L
How do we lose Na
Vomiting
NG tube
Biliary drainage lost
Pancreatic drain, colostomy, ileostomy
How do we lose K
Vomiting
Diarrhoea
When does congestive cardiac failure occur
When heart muscle pump cannot cope with workload
Output falls
Fails to perfuse tissues
