Content of Body fluids for an infant (%):
Infant- 70 - 80%
• Adult Female- 50 - 60%
• Adult Male- 50 - 70 %
• Older Adult- 45 - 55%
3 compartments of BF:
intracellular fluid , extracellular fluid , transcellular fluid
Diff between Intra vs Extracellular
Intra- 2/3 of Fluid within cells
Extra- 1/3 Fluid in blood or plasma,
and interstitial space
Fluid in between cells (lymph)
interstitial
Fluid within the blood vessels
intravascular
Fluid in small and specialized cavities (synovium, CSF, pleura and peritoneum)
transcellular fluid
diffusion of water/solvent molecule through a
selective permeable membrane (e.g.
cell membrane)
osmosis
T or F
in osmosis, water moves to an area of low solute
concentration to a high solute concentration
T; salt goes; water follows
___pressure exerted by proteins (mainly albumin) in blood to pull water into capillaries; has a capillary level of 25 mmHg
colloidal (proteins) osmotic pressure or oncotic pressute
T or F
dec oncotic pressure moves water from intravascular space to interstitial space; fluid leaks into tissues, causing edema.
T
Starling’s Law of Capillary Forces:
Hydrostatic Pressure (pushing out):
Created by the heart pumping.
Forces water out of capillaries into tissues.
Higher on the arterial end (e.g., 40 mm Hg).
Oncotic Pressure (pulling in):
Created by blood proteins.
Pulls water back into capillaries.
Higher on the venous end (e.g., 25 mm Hg)
explain what happens in the arterial end and venous end
Arterial end: Hydrostatic pressure (40 mm Hg) > oncotic pressure (25 mm Hg) → fluid pushed out into tissue.
Venous end: Hydrostatic pressure drops (10 mm Hg) < oncotic pressure (25 mm Hg) → fluid pulled back into capillary.
Proteins leak out into tissues → drops oncotic pressure in capillaries.
More fluid leaves capillaries and accumulates in tissues = interstitial edema
trauma induced interstitial edema
which fluid spacing is this?
Normal distribution of fluid between:
Intracellular fluid (ICF) – inside the cells
Extracellular fluid (ECF) – outside the cells
1st fluid spacing
which fluid spacing is this?
Abnormal accumulation of fluid in the interstitial space (between cells).
2nd spacing
which fluid spacing is this?
fluid accumulates in a portion of the body; fluid is trapped and not available for functional use; e.g. ascites, sequestration of fluid
in abdomen, edema associated with burn
3rd spacing
Ability of the solution to change
shape and size of cells
tonicity
solution with a lower concentration of solutes and a higher concentration of water
• Less osmotic pressure
• Cause bursting of the cells (lysis)
• Examples:
- 1/4 % NS (25% salt)
- 1/8% NS (12.5% salt)
hypotonic
• C o n c e n t r a t i o n o f solutes a n d w a t e r a r e t h e
same/equal on both sides of the cell membrane
• N o change in cells will be observed
• Examples:
• 0.9 NS solution
• Lactated Ringers (lactate converted as HCO3 in the liver)
• D5W
isotonic
- solution has high concentration than solutes and lower concentration of water than cells
- for pump only and not run
- cells will shrink or “notch”
- examples: 3% or 5% NS sol, D10, D20, D30 (hypoglycemic)
hypertonic
Burns - massive wound drainage
• High Fever more than 3 days
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Failure to thrive
what does this condition cause…
dehydration
loss of 10 ml/Kg body weight
diarrhea
PARASITIC - AMOEBIASIS (Entamoeba Hystolitica)
Prevalence: 3% - 6%
• Ingested Cyst multiply; 2-4 weeks incubation
• S/S - Fever, abd cramps, watery or bloody stools
• Source: Fecal contaminated food & water
• Resistant t o Chlorine (Swimming pools)
• Recurrence- Liver abscess later life
