Skin Turgor
|
The skin's ability to return to normal after being tented up. Use 2 or 3 locations
|
|
|
|
Hypovolemia
|
Inadequate intravascular fluid volume
|
|
|
|
Perfusion
|
Act of pouring over or through; especially the passage of fluid through the vessels of a specific organ
|
|
|
|
Intravascular Fluid
|
Fluid in the blood vessels. 10% of total body water
|
|
|
|
Total Body Water
|
60% of the total body weight, Interstitial, Intravascular, and Intracellular
|
|
|
|
Intracellular Fluid
|
66% of total body water. Fluid within the cells.
|
|
|
|
Interstitial Fluid
|
24% of total body water. Fluid within tissues. Extracellular
|
|
|
|
Crystalloid
|
Water-based solution that easily permeates cell membranes, each differs by it's sodium content

|
2 Types of Intravenous Fluids
|
Crystalloids & Colloids
|
|
|

|
|
|
Isotonic Fluids
|
High Sodium Fluids
(Replacement Fluids) |
*Administered Slowly (Subcutaneously) to replace fluids lost by vomiting, diarrhea, wound drainage
* Administered Rapidly (Intravenously) to restore circulation - to resuscitate patients w/Hypovolemia |
|
|
Hypotonic Fluids
|
Low Sodium Fluids
(Maintenance Fluids) |
*Intermittent subcutaneous support of water and electrolyte homeostasis
*Replaces normal ongoing losses in animals unable to maintain hydration orally *Used for continuous IV administration of medications *Administration rate based on body size |
|
|
Hypertonic Saline Solutions
|
Greater sodium content than body fluids
|
|
|
|
Do not use Isotonic High Sodium Fluids in patients with:
|
Heart Disease
Renal Disease Inflammation Edema |
|
|
|
Do not use Hypotonic Low Sodium Fluids in patients:
|
Requiring rapid infusions for resuscitation from shock
|
|
|
|
Hypertonic Saline
|
Greater sodium content then body fluids
Used in patients with Hypovolemic Shock and pre-existing edema |
|
