Perioperative Fluid therapy Flashcards
(101 cards)
% tbw in the average adult
60% water
Low % of water in _______ tissue
adipose
intracellular fluid compartment %
55%
Extracellular fluid compartment %
25%
Extraceulllar componenets
Interstitial: lymphatics and protein-poor fluid around cells
Intravascular: plasma volume
Transcellular: GI tract, urine, csf, joint fluid, aqueous humor
Describe diffusion (5)
-Solute particles fill solvent volume
-High to low concentration
-Speed is proportional to distance squared
-Can occur across permeable membranes
-Can relate to electrical gradients
types of solutes
Glucose, proteins, electrolytes
Primary extracellular cation
Sodium
Primary intracellular cation
Potassium
Describe osmosis
A semipermeable membrane separates pure water from water with solute
Diffuses from low to high concentration
Osmotic pressure formula
P = nRT/ V
N = number of molecules
R= constant
T= Temperature
V= Volume
Osmotic pressure definition
Pressure that resists the movement of water through osmosis
number of osmotically active particles/L of solvent
Osmolarity
_____osmolarity…_____“pulling power”
Higher osmolarity…higher “pulling power”
Number of osmotically active particles per kg of solvent
Osmolality
normal osmolality
Normal: 280-290 mOsm
The component of total osmotic pressure due to colloids
Oncotic pressure
Colloids types
Albumin (most), globulins, fibrinogen
Albumin % responsible for oncotic pressure
65-75% from albumin
Average intake (3)
750 ml of solids
350 ml from metabolism
1400 ml liquid intake
Average ouptuts (3)
1000 ml insensible loss (tears/vapor)
100 ml GI loss
0.5-1 ml/kg/hr urine output (60%)
ADH response
Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) – renal H2O excretion in response to plasma tonicity.
ANP response
Atrial Natriuretic Peptide (ANP) – activated with ↑ fluid volume
↑ atrial stretch = ↑ renal excretion.
Aldosterone response
Aldosterone – regulates Na+ and K+ levels
If Na+ and fluid volume ↓ aldosterone is released causing Na+ and H2O conservation.
