What percent of our TBW is water?
45-65%

Intracellular component 66%
Extracellular component 33%
What is the primary ECF cation?
Sodium

Along with, anions Cl & HCO3
Where is K & phosphate found?
ICF
What determines the net transfer of water between ICF & ECF?
Sodium
What is osmolality?
Measure of concentration of solutes dissolved (ie. higher the osmolality, the higher the concentration of solutes or lower concentration of water
What is normal plasma osmolality?
280-295

Serum osm= (2 x Na) + urea + glucose
What are some causes of hypertonic ECF?
Excessive H2O loss: Diarrhea, vomiting, sweating

Insufficient H2O intake: Extreme exercise, desert travel, no able to take PO
What are some causes of hypotonic ECF?
Volume overload: Renal failure, cirrhosis, SIADH
What is tonicity?
Measure of osmotic pressure of two solutions separated by a semi-permeable membrane. Influenced by only solutes that cannot cross the membrane. Sodium is important!
What is the difference between crystalloid & colloid IVF?
Crystalloid fluids are composed of simple electrolytes

Colloid fluids contain larger synthetic, insoluble particles like hetastarch, pentastarch, dextran

Natural colloids are blood & plasma!
What is colloid osmotic pressure?
Pressure exerted by proteins int he blood to pull water into the vascular space. This theoretically reduces the tendency for fluid to leak into the interstitial space
How much fluid does a person lose via urination everyday? (Insensible loss)
1200-1500 ml

Sweat: 200-400 ml
Resp: 500 ml
Feces: 100-200 ml
How do you calculated maintenance fluid rate?
4:2:1 rule

4 cc/kg first 10 kg
2 cc/kg next 10 kg
1cc/kg
If you have a hypotensive pt what kind of fluid do you want to give them?
NS or LR

They are isotonic (ALWAYS USE ISOTONIC FLUIDS TO RESUSCITATE)
What is the MC electrolyte abnormality?
Hyponatremia (Na<135)
What is colloid osmotic pressure?
Pressure exerted by proteins int he blood to pull water into the vascular space. This theoretically reduces the tendency for fluid to leak into the interstitial space
How much fluid does a person lose via urination everyday? (Insensible loss)
1200-1500 ml

What is the MC electrolyte abnormality?
Hyponatremia (Na<135)
How do you tx hypovolemic hyponatremia?
NS
How do you tx euvolemic hyponatremia?
SIADH: Free water restriction, tx underlying cause

Tolvaptan
Hypervolemic hyponatremia
Restrict free water, lasix in CHF, colloid infusions in cirrhotics
How do you treat hypernatremia?
Goal is to drop Na 10 mmol/L/day

Hypervolemic: Calculate water def, five slowly

Euvolemic: Central DI-DDAVP

Hypervolemi: D5W + loop
What is the best way to give potassium?
PO! Best absorbed in gut
How much K do you give when pt is between 3.0-3.5?
Every 0.1 below 3.5 will require 10 mEq to correct
How to you tx hyperkalemia with NO EKG changes?
Lasix 20-40 mg IV

Kayexalate 20-45 mg PO
How do you treat hyperkalemia with EKG changes?
Calcium gluconate (stabilizes cardiac cell membrane)
Insulin 10 U reg & glucose
Bicarb 1-2 amps
Albuterol 10-15 mg neb

Hemodialysis if nothing else works
How do you treat hypocalcemia? How about hypercalcemia?
Hypo: Acute & symptomatic-IV calcium gluconate
Chronic: PO CaCO3 & vit D

Hyper: Acute-saline & loops
Malignancies: Bisphosphonate
How do you tx hypermagnesemia?
Calcium gluconate
Dualysis
Loop diuretics if normal renal function
What is normal pH?
7.35-7.45
