|
What physiological alterations can be treated with fluid therapy?
|
dehydration, hypovolemia, electrolyte imbalances, acid-base imbalances
|
|
|
What therapeutic goals would you achieve with fluid therapy?
|
improve perfusion, replace volume, meet maintenance needs, replace ongoing losses
|
|
|
How is dehydration assessed?
|
mucous membranes, skin elasticity, eye position in orbit, heart rate
|
|
|
How do you estimated how much fluid is needed for dehydration?
|
BW x %dehydrated
|
|
|
What are the major types of fluids?
|
crystalloids, colloids, oxygen carriers, blood products, parenteral nutrition
|
|
|
How do you estimate maintenance fluid needs?
|
30BW + 70
|
|
|
What are the characteristics of crystalloids?
|
used for replacement and maintenance
contain ions, usually similar to plasma or ECF concentrations leave vasculature relatively quickly May be hypertonic or contain dextrose |
|
|
What are the characteristics of colloids?
|
usually composed of starches
stay in vasculature longer (larger particles) contribute to increasing oncotic pressure *more expensive than crystalloids |
|
|
What are the characteristics of oxygen carriers?
|
contain hemoglobin
longer shelf life than true blood products |
|
|

SJF |
(a) A person commits an offense if he intentionally or knowingly operates another's boat, airplane, or motor-propelled vehicle without the effective consent of the owner.
|
|
|
List some hypertonic solutions used in fluid therapy
|
50% dextrose in water
7.5% saline 8.4% NaHCO3 14.9% KCl *most of these are not used alone, but put in other things |
|
|
Which replacement fluids are acidifying?
|
Ringers, normal saline
|
|
|
Which replacement fluids are alkalinizing?
|
LRS, Normasol-R, Plasma-Lite A
