Who are at higher risk for fluid related problems
elderly and infants
who has more fluid in body, infant or adult
infant @ 70-80 percent water
extracellular fluid consists of fluid composed in the space between the cells , known as
interstitual fluid
substances whose molecules disoasociate or split into ions when placed in water is
electrolytes
main cation in ECF is
sodium
the amount of pressure required to stop the osmotic flow of water
ostmotic pressure
the osmotic force of solute per unit of weight of solvent is measured by
OSMOLALITY
WHAT IS THE MAJOR SOURCE THAT PUSEHES WATER OUT OFthe vascular system at the capillary level
hydrostatic pressure
losso f pure h20 alone without corresponding loss of sodium is
dehydration
the primary forms of hypervolemia or excess cellular fluid are
diuretics and fluid restriction
flattened neck veins, weak thready pulse, diminished skin turgor, skin warm, dry, wrinkled are signs of
hypovolemia
the easiest measurement of volume status , an increaseof 1kg-1000ml of fluid retnetion , is
daily weights
the primary determinant of ECF osmolarity, playing a major role in conecentration and volume , is
sodium
sodium effects the water distribution between
ecf and icf
sodium is absorbed through what , by what
GI track through foods such as unprocessed can goods
what promotes sodium reasborption from the renal tubules
adh
the ratio of sodium to water is called
serum sodiumlevel
firfst manifested in the CNS, surgery and trauma patients, or renal failure patients, commonly have
hyponatremia
the major ICF cation, intracellular
potassium
plays a role in acid base balance, and muscle cells, cardiac function
potassium
what is the primary route for potassium loss, about 90 percent daily
kidneys
in the kidneys, what kind of relationship is there between sodium and potassium reabsorption
inverse
what is the msot common cause of hyperkalemia
renal failure
leg pain and muscle weakness =
hyperkalemia
for hyperkalemia
elimate oral potassium, increase potassium elimation w dioretics, dialysis, force iv insulin
the most common hospital imbalance is
hypokalemia
cardiac changes =
hypokalemia
elderly are more at risk for f/e imbalance because
small losses of fluid are more significant because body fluids account for only about 50 percent of body weight in older adults
blood plasma has a higher osmolality than fluids within a red blood cell, the mechanism involved in equalizing the fluid concentration is
osmosis
a loop diuretic given to a pt, the patient will have symptoms of
weak, irregular pulse, poor muscle tone
the lungs act as anacid base buffer by
increasing RR and depth when CO2 levels in blood are high, reducing acid load
the typical fluid relplacement for a patient w ICF fluid volume deficit (hypovolemia) is
hypotonic solution
under normal conditions, kidneys reabsorb and conserve all of the _______ that they can filter
bicarbonate
whenever there is HYPOVENTILATION, what occurs
RESPIRATORY ACIDOSIS (carbonic acid excess)
what do kidneys do during respiratory acidosis
conserve bicarobate and secrease hydrogen ions into urine
whenever there is HYPERVENTILATION, what occurs
respiratory alkalosis
(carboni acid eficit)
the primary cause of respiratory alkalosis is _______ from acute pulmonary disorders
HYPOXEMIA
anxiety and CNS , brain , disorders are most prominent with
respiratory alkalosis
what occurs when an acid other than carbonic acid accumulates in body or when bicarboanate is LOST from body fluids
metabolic acidosis
how do you compensate for metaboplic acidosis?
increase CO2 excretion by the lungs
what do patients with metablic alkalosis usually develop (deep rapid breathing)
kaussMAul respirations
renal failure is a sure sign of
metabolic ACIDOSIS
what kind of solution provdes more water than electroltyes, diluting the ECF.
hypotonic
what is the ideal fluiod replacement for a patient with an ECF volume deficit (hypovolemia)
ISOTONIC solution
for treametment of hypovolemia and hyponatermia, this solution raises osmolality of ECF and expands it
hypertonic
w/ hypertonic solutions, you must frequently monitor
bp, lung sounds and serum sodium levels
