what happens to the water content of the body as you age
|
as age INCREASES
total body water DECREASES |
|
what is the subsets of TBW
|
2/3 ICF
1/3 ECF -1/4 Intravascular -3/4 Interstitial space |
|
where do each of the fluids go
Hypotonic Hypertonic Isotonic |
Hypotonic - ECF only
Isotonic - ECF and ICF Hypertonic - ECF then causes a shift of water from ICF to ECF |
|
what do each of the fluids do to cell volume
Hypotonic Hypertonic Isotonic |
Hypotonic -
Hypertonic - decreases cell volume Isotonic - no change in cell volume |
|
what is the equation for plasma osmolality
|
Posm = 2[Na] + [Glucose/18] + [BUN/2.8]
|
|
what are some tools to ID fluid alterations
|
HnP:
N/V burns excessive sweating CHF/dyspnea low albumin -weight -ins and outs -decrease BP increase HR -edema and rales -Hgb:HCT should be 1:3 -UOP |
|
what type of fluid is lost in dehydration
|
hypotonic fluids
|
|
what type of fluid is lost in volume depletion
|
isotonic fluids
|
|
3rd spacing causes what type of water loss: depletion or dehydration
|
volume depletion
|
|
how are colloids different from crystalloids
|
colloids: contain large molecules, remain in the intravascular space longer and increase oncotoic pressure in intravascular space therefore increase intravascular volume
|
|
name the crystalloid solutions in each class
hypotonic isotonic hypertonic |
hypotonic - D5W, 0.45% NaCl
isotonic - 0.9% NS, lactated ringers hypertonic - 3% NaCl |
|
what is "3rd spacing"
|
acute sequestration in a body compartment not in equilibrium with ECF
|
|
what CrCl must a patient have in order to treat their sodium disorder with a thiazide diuretic
|
CrCl > 30
|
|
what are the normal levels of these lytes
Na K Mg Ca PO4 |
Na 135-145
K 3.5-5.5 Mg 1.7-2.3 (1.4-1.8) Ca 8.5-10.5 PO4 2.5-4.5 |
|
what is the max correction of sodium
|
12 mEq/L/24 hrs or 0.5mEq/L/hr
|
|
what happens if you correct hyponatremia too fast
|
osmotic demyelination (IRREVERSIBLE)
|
|
WHAT ARE THE CLASSIFICATIONS AND SYMPTOMS SEEN AT THESE MEQ
>125-130 <115 - 125 <110-115 |
severe <110-115: seizure, coma, death
mild >125-130: asymptomatic moderate <115-125: bloating, HA, N/V, muscle cramps |
|
what is the initial correction and initial goal for a patient with severe hyponatremia
|
increase plasma tonicity enough to relieve symtpoms then increase in serum Na by 5%
initial goal: increase serum Na by 1-2 mEq/L/hr over first 2-4 hrs |
|
what type of colloid do you use in patients with severe hyponatremia
|
hypertonic solutions
|
|
what type of hyponatremia is this
decrease serum Na and normal plasma osmolality |
isotonic hyponatremia
|
|
what are causes of isotonic hyponatremia
|
infusion of Na free solutions (lipids, proteins)
hyperlipidemia hyperprotenemia |
|
what is the treatment of isotonic hyponatremia
|
0.9 NaCl
|
|
what type of hyponatremia is this
increase serum osmolality producing decrease serum Na |
hypertonic hyponatremia
|
|
what are some causes of hypertonic hyponatremia
|
excess of non Na effective osmoles in the ECF (glucose, glycerin or mannitol infusions)
|
|
how does hypertonic hyponatremia cause dilutional hyponatremia
|
hypertonic ECF pulls water out of ICF
|
|
how do you treat hypertonic hyponatremia
|
Na and water restriction
correct underlying cause |
|
what is the equation for corrected sodium in hyperglycemia
|
corrected serum Na = serum Na + 0.015(serum glucose - 100)
|
|
what type of hyponatremia is this
decrease serum Na and decrease osmolality |
