BASICS Exam 2 Flashcards
what is normal daily fluid volume required to maintain total body water
25-35 ml/kg (2-3L)
how much weight does total body water make up in the body
60% (40L)
what is total body water volume
40L
what is the breakdown of total body water in intracellular fluid vs extrracellular fluid
intracellular= 25L (40% of total body weight)
extracellular= 15L (20% of body weight)
what is the breakdown of extracellular fluid volumes
interstitial fluid= 12L (80%)
plasma= 3L (20%)
what are the four transcapillary pressures (starling)
interstitial hydrostatic
plasma
interstitial osmotic
capillary hydrostatic
what is a problem with crystalloids
dont always stay in intravascular
Stay in intravascular space for roughly 30 min
what are the four groups of crystalloids
balanced
isotonic
hypertonic
hypotonic
what is a balanced crystalloid
LR
plasmalyte
normosol
what solution is nearly isotonic but slightly hypertonic
normal saline
why is NS slightly hypertonic
contains more chloride than extracellular fluid
what is a hypertonic crystolloid
3% saline
what is a hypotonic crystalloid
0.45% saline
d5w
how much of crystalloid remains intravascular and where does the other 2/3 go
1/3 intravascular- interstitial compartments (3rd space)
what is not an optimal choice if you need to replace a lot of volume
crystalloid
how much Na in 1L bag NS
9g per liter (0.9g per 100ml)
what can giving more than a couple of liters of ns lead to and why
acidosis
too much chloride
how long does it take a normal adult to excrete 2L NS
2-3 days
why is ns indicated as a replacement fluid in someone with renal failure
doesn’t have potassium like LR does
in what instances is NS preferred over LR
brain injury
hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis
hyponatremia
what solution is ideal to dilute RBCs
NS bc it is nearly isotonic
what solution can cause hemolysis at the point of injection
3% saline
which solution function as free water and why
D5W
dextrose is metabolized
which solution is iso-osmotic
D5W
