Vascular Access Flashcards
What percent of intracellular water is found in the cells?
65%
Red blood cell volume is = ____%
14 %
Plasma volume is approximately ___
2-3 liters
Extracellular water found in the interstitial spaces is ____%.
35 %
Count of the total number of particles in a solution is equal to the sum of the molalities of all the solutes present in the solution
osmolality
(osmole / kg)
The concentration of osmotic solution per liter of fluid.
Osmolarity
Ions produce osmotic pressures across cell membranes but not _______ membranes
capillary
Normal plasma osmolality is = _____ mOsm/L
285 mOsm/L
A form of osmotic pressure exerted by proteins in a blood vessel’s plasma (blood/liquid) that usually tends to pull water into the circulatory system. It is the opposing force to hydrostatic pressure.
Oncotic pressure
Normal oncotic pressure is _____ mmHg.
28 mmHg
Frequently used in place of osmotic pressure or tension is related to the number of non-penetrating particles found in solution
tonicity
Of equal tension. Denoting a solution having the same tonicity as another solution with which it is compared.
Isotonic
Having a higher concentration of solute particles per unit volume than a comparison solution, regardless of kinds ofparticles. A solution in which cells shrink due to efflux of water.
Hypertonic
Having a lower concentration of solute particules per unit volume than a comparison solution, regardless of kinds of particles. A solution in which cells expand due to influx of water.
Hypotonic

135-145
K concentration in plasma
3.5 - 5.0
Ca concentration in plasma
8.8 - 10
Mg concentration in plasma
1.5 - 2.5
Cl concentration in plasma
100 - 106
HCO3 concentration in plasma
22 - 26

Replacement of fluids in the body, electrolytes are given in mEq. True or false?
true
What fluid can you not use with RBC and why?
LR
Ca found in LR solution causes cells to clot.
