Calculate the Ideal Body Weight
Male IBW=50 kg + (2.3 x inches over 60”)
Female IBW= 45 kg + (2.3 x inches over 60”)
Calculate the Dosing Body Weight
DBW = IBW + 0.4(wt –IBW)
–Use if dry weight is 130% or more of IBW
Calculate the Nutritional Body Weight
NBW = IBW + 0.25(wt –IBW)
–Use if dry weight is 130% or more of IBW
How do body fluids relate to weight?
~ 60% of body weight in adults
Intracellular -2/3 (40% of wt)
•Extracellular -1/3 (20% of wt)
1/4 extracellular fluid is interstitial
3/4 Intravascular (plasma)
What is the percentage of body water for males, females and neonates?
•Adults
–Men: 50-60% of body wt
–Women: 45-55% of body wt
•Neonates/Infants
–75-90% of body wt
What are some sensible water losses?
•Sensible
–Urination (400-1500 mL)
–Defecation (100-200 mL)
–Wounds (varies)
_____________________
1 –1.5 L / day
What are some insensible water losses
•Insensible
–Skin (350-400 mL)
–Lungs (350-400 mL)
____________________
1 L / day
What are some additional reasons for water loss?
•NG output
•Vomiting
•Diarrhea
•Burns
•Fistulas
•Drains
•Bleeding
•Large wounds
What organs regulate body fluid losses?
skin, lungs, kidneys
What types of movement affect solutes, fluids, and both solutes and fluids
solutes: diffusion, active transport
fluids: osmosis(electrolytes), oncotic pressure (proteins)
Both: capillary filtration (BV)
What hormones regulate volume?
Anti-diuretic hormone (ADH), Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), Atrial Naturetic Peptide (ANP)
What are MIVF fluid requirements?
30-40ml/kg/day
Acidic fluid loss comes from...

Basic fluid loss comes from...
NG output

pancreas and diarrhea
What is the most common MIVF?
D5W + 1/2 NS + 20mEq/L KCl
What is the osmolar value of hypotonic, isotonic, and hypertonic solutions?
Hypotonic < 275 mOsm/L
Isotonic 275-295 mOsm/L
Hypertonic >295 mOsm/L
Name the 4 types of crystalloid fluids and what they are used for.
NS replacement/resuscitation [154 mEq/L] Na+ and Cl-
½ NS maintenance
LR replacement/resuscitation
D5W replacement only
What are colloid fluids used for?
Albumin (5%, 25%), hetastarch,plasmanate, blood

used as plasma expanders, volume expansion, inc plasma oncotic pressure
What parameters should be monitored for fluid loss?
I/O, UOP, BUN/SCr ratio, weight, vitals, CVP
What lab values signify dehydration?
BUN/Scr > 20 = dehydration
CVP < 8 = dehydration
Increased HR can signal dehydration
What is the most common electrolyte disturbance in hospitalized pts?
hyponatremia (Na<135 mEq/L)
What causes hypertonic hyponatremia?
increased glucose
use a corrected Na value
What causes isotonic pseudohyponatremia?
inc. lipids/ proteins inc. plasma volume and dilutes out Na
What causes hypervolemic hypotonic hyponatremia?
edema from kidney failure, cirrhosis, HF
What causes isovolemic hypotonic hyponatremia?
SIADH
Water intake exceeds capacity of the kidneys to excrete water
–Urine Osm generally > 100 mOsm/kg
–Urine Na+ generally > 20-30 mEq/L
What causes hypovolemic hypotonic hyponatremia?
dehydration
What is the normal Na level?
135-145mEq/L
How do you calculate osmolality? What is the normal range?
osmolality=(2xNa)+(BUN/2.8)+(Glu/18)

Normal range: 280-295mOsm/L
Calculate the Osmolar gap.
Osmolar gap= measured Osm/L - calculated Osm/L

>15= osmolar gap

Means the presence of unidentified particles
Corrected Serum Na
Na (serum) + 1.6(BG -100/100)
