Fluid and Electrolytes Flashcards
(54 cards)
Normal Na+ range
135-145
Normal potassium range
3.5-5.0/5
Water gain sources
food
drink
metabolism
water loss sources
urine
feces
skin- insensible water loss
Lungs- insensible water loss
Osmosis
fluid moves from low to high concentration of solutes
Filtration
fluid moves from high to low pressure
Hydrostatic pressure
force
Colloid oncotic pressure
reabsorption (albumin)
Osmolarity
Concentration of solutes in a specific VOLUME of fluid
Not most accurate- fluid volume changes when temp changes
Osmolality
concentration of solutes in a specific MASS of solvent
Tonicity
measure of the osmotic pressure gradient between two solutions
comparision of concentration
Osmosis
Fluid moves from high to low concentration
1L = ? kg
1 kg
Hydrostatic pressure (what)
pressure pushes out fluid from capillaries into tissues
NEED to be functioning for hudrostatic pressure
strong heart
blood volume
BP
Colloid Pressure/ Colloidal Osmotic Pressure
Reabsorption of fluid via osmosis from the tissue into the cappilaries d/t large proteins (albumin) in the vessel.
Isotonis fluid
Same # of solutes in solution as in plasma
Exands blood volume
Examples of Isotonic fluids
LR
0.9% NS
D5W (ONLY AT FIRST)
Hypotinic fluid
less # of solutes in solution compares to plasma
Examples of Hypotonic fluids
0.45% NaCl
0.33% NaCl
Hypertonic fluids
Greater # of solutes in fluid compared to plasma
Examples of Hypertonic fluids
D5NS
D5LR
D10W
Oxygenation
Oxygen supply vs. demand. Person can be well oxygenated, but have low perfusion
Perfusion NEEDS
Pump
Blood volume
Patent vessels
