Terms in this set (175)
Intravascular space 3L of plasma
3L of erythrocytes, Leukocytes, and thrombocytes
,interstitial space Fluids around the cells
11-12 L in adults
Lymph is an interstitial fluid
transcellular fluid Smallest division of ECF
Around 1 L
Fluids including:
Cerebrospinal
Pericardial
Synovial
Intraocular
Pleural fluids
Sweat
Digestive secretions
How are electrolytes measured? mEq/L
What main electrolyte is inside cell Sodium (Na)
and which is outside the cell?
What main electrolyte is inside cell Potassium (K)
and which is inside the cell?
the pressure exerted by the fluid on hydrostatic pressure
the walls of the blood vessel
Oncotic pressure is exerted by the protein of plasma
Fluid moves from a low concentration Osmosis
to a high concentration
Solutes moves from a high to a low Diffusion
concentration
, occurs when loss of ECF volume hypovolemia
exceeds the intake of fluid
Water and electrolytes are lost in the same
proportion***** as they exist in normal body fluids
Ratio of serum electrolytes to water remains the
same.
Serum electrolytes will essentially during FVD
remain unchanged
S/S of FDV Weight loss
Decreased skin turgor
Oliguria
Decreased BP
Increased pulse and temp
Flattened neck veins
Muscle cramps
Cool clammy skin
How to diagnose FDV Increased hemoglobin and hematocrit due to
decreased plasma volume
BUN is elevated in comparison of serum creatinine
Increased urine specificity
How to manage FVD/hypovolemia Preferably PO hydration
Electrolyte drinks
IV route is typically for more severe cases to expand
plasma volume
If a patient is nauseous, how should IV fluid THEN antiemetics
you prioritize treatment?
IV solutions for hypovolemia Lactated ringers
0.9% normal saline
Weight daily is the most sensitive indicator for fluid loss or gain
Monitor pulse during IV therapy to observe any adverse effects
