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
hypotonic hyponatremia
what type of hypotonic hyponatremia is this

decrease total body Na and decrease ECF volume
hypovolemic hypotonic hyponatremia
what are SSx of ECF depletion
orthostatic hypotension
thirst
dry mucus membranes
decreased/low UOP
what type of hypotonic hyponatremia is this

normal total body Na and small increase in ECF volume
euvolemic hypotonic hyponatremia
what are the 2 main groups of euvolemic hypotonic hyponatremia
Uosm < 100 UNa < 20
Uosm > 100 UNa > 20
what can cause

Uosm < 100 UNa < 20
