Fluid Balance
|
refers to the balance between intake and output
|
|
|
Purpose of fluid (3)
|
1.Cushin
2. Removes waste 3.Lubricates |
|
|
How much should the normal intake be?
|
1500ml/day is necessary
|
|
|
how much is the normal output per hour?
|
30ml/hour Minimum
|
|
|
When a persons fluid imbalanced? And what are some reasons for the imbalance?
|
too much or too little fluid in the body. The reasons are: vopmiting,diarrhea, drinking too much, and Na+ retention
|
|
|
How do you assess the output of your patient?
|
Measure urine, NG drainage, ileostomy output, wound drainage, vomiting, diarrhea, exc. basically every thing that comes out of the patient. :)
|
|
|
What are the major vascular solutes?
|
NA+ and plasma protien
|
|
|
What is another name for plasma protien?
|
Albumin
|
|
|
The major compartments in the body are:
|
Extracellular fluid and intracellular fluid
|
|
|
Extracellular fluid consists of:
|
Intravascular and interstitial
30% of body fluid |
|
|
Interstitial fluid contains:
|
tissue, space between cells. Largest extracellar fluid
|
|
|
Intravascular
|
Plasma. Very important B/C of BP regulation.
decreased fluid=hypovolemia=decreased BP=Shock |
|
|
S&S of thirst
|
increased HR, poor skin turgor, and decreesed perfusion
|
|
|
Intracellular fluid consist of:
|
all the fluid w/in cells (70% of body fluid
|
|
|
What leads to Heart failure?
|
Increased fluid= hypervolemia= increased BP= circulatory overload= CHF
|
|
|
S&S of CHF
|
weight gain, HTN, dyspnea(fluid in the alveoli), edema, distended neck veins, (JVD)
|
|
|
Trancellular space
|
third space. smallest ECF
CSF peritoneal, pericardial |
|
|
What does it mean to be "Third spacing?"
|
TCS becomes enlarged with fluid, and is not easily exchanged with other spaces in the ECF.
|
|
|
What are the solutes and electrolytes?
|
ICF= K+
ECF= Na+, plasma protein (albumin) both are important in controlling hte fluid shifts |
|
|
H2O Distribution is controled by
|
boundary organs and physical forces
|
