Fluid Flashcards
Asomdwoe has a body mass of 60, estimate the total body water
ECF volume (1/3 of total body water) it is also 20 percent of total body weight
Question 3 , ICF volume (2/3rds or 40%)
FInd the plasma Volume(1/4 of ECF) its also 5% of Body Weight*
Find Insterstitial Fluid
If the patient hematocrit or packed cell body is 40% find the blood volume
Blood vol. = Plasma Volume/1 - hematocrit
*** Never forget this, plasma volume is 5% of body weight **
Total body weight 36 liters
ECF = 12 liters
ICF = 24 Litres
Plasma Volume=3
if a patients hematocrit is 40% it means 40 % of blood is made up of cells, this means plasma will cositute 60 % by volume
Number 7 what is the volume of the blood cells in the blood
2 litres
A 70 kg adult male has a packed cell volume of 30%.
Following a road traffic accident, he lost two litres of blood.
1. What is his plasma volume before the RTA
2. What was his blood volume before the RTA
3. What percentage of his blood volume was lost after the RTA
4. Predict his cardiovascular status following his RTA
- 3.5 litres
- 5 L
- 40%
- Find the answer for Question 4
5.
For males 7-7.5 % of their weight
ain females approx. 6.5
Therefore averagely 7 % of body weight is blood volume
A 50kg adult who is well hydrated , what is the estimated blood volume
3.5
5ml/kg in adults fluid input
norml urine output is 0.5 to 1 per kg
