colliod oncotic pressure
constant osmotic pressure that prevents leakage of plasma out of capillaries into tissue
plasma has a protien concentration called?
albumin
hydrostatic pressure
Pressure exerted by a volume of fluid against a wall, membrane, or some other structure that encloses the fluid. In this case less than colloid oncotic pressure.
excess fluid leads to?
edema
inadequate fluid leads to?
dehydration
hypertonic dehydration
high serum sodium level >150m/mol/L and low water loss
Isotonic dehydration
results from a balanced loss of water and electrolytes (by vomiting or diarrhea)
hypotonic dehydration
results when loss of electrolytes exceeds water loss (over use of diuretics)
sensible fluid loss
blood loss, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, drains, stoma, surgery, exc.
insensible loss
fecal - 100ml/day, lung - 400ml/day, skin - 600ml/day
crystalliod
fluids that supply water and sodium to maintain the osmotic gradient between fluid inside and outside the blood vessels. does not contain colliods.
crystalliod therapeutic use
Shock, Acute nephrosis, burns, hypoproteinuria, exc.
crystalliod side effects and adverse effects
these are considered very safe, but can leak out of plasma into cells causing edema. can also dilute the proteins in plasma.
common prototype for crystalliod
sodium chloride - NaCl
colliod
substance that increases the colliod oncotic pressure (COP). moves fluid from the interstitial compartment into the vascular compartment.
colliod therapeutic action
Shock, Acute nephrosis, burns, hypoproteinuria, exc. not as much of a tendency to cause edema.
colliod side effects
can dilute plasma proteins, and interfere with the function of platelets causing impaired coagulation.
colliod prototype
Albumin - also a natural protein produced by the liver
Blood products
oxygen carrying fluids that carry hemoglobin
blood product - therapeutic uses and adverse effects
therapeutic - acute bleeding, clotting factor, oxygen carrying capacity. Adverse Effects - anaphylaxis and can transmit infections
FFP - Fresh Frozen Plasma
contains clotting factors but not red blood cells.
Cryoprecipitate
FFP is frozen then thawed and the precipitate is drawn off and used as an antihemophilliac factor
packed red cells
plasma is removed, is used to increase O2 carrying capacity, and increase volume
whole blood
contains both rbc's and plasma, is used to increase volume and O2 carrying capacity
<20% (slow loss) What is used?
Crystalloids
20%-50% (slow) What is used?
Colloids
>50% (slow) or 20% (acute) What is used?
Whole blood or FFP
>80% lost
for every 5 units of blood given use 1-2u of platelets and 1-2u of FFP to prevent hemodilution
acidosis pH and Symptoms
<7.35 pH - CNS depression and Coma
alkalosis pH and Symptoms
>7.45 - CNS Stimulation and convulsions
respiratory acidosis causes
hypoventilation, airway constriction, damage to medulla
respiratory alkalosis causes
hyperventilation
metabolic acidosis causes
severe diarrhea, kidney failure, diabetes mellitus, starvation, excessive ETOH
metabolic alkalosis causes
prolonged constipation, excessive use of sodium bicarbonate, severe vomiting
what is given for alkalosis
ammonium chloride or sodium chloride with potassium chloride
what is given for acidosis
sodium bicarbonate
K+
Potassium - 3.5 - 5.0 mEq/L
Kidneys role in K+
Excess is excreted by the kidneys and kidney failure can cause hyperkalemia cause cardiac arrest.
K+ mechanism of action
muscle contractions, transmission of nerve impulses, and regulation of heart beat
K+ therapeutic uses
prevention of hypokalemia and irregular HR
Symptoms of Hypokalemia (early)
anorexia, hypotension, lethargy, mental confusion, muscle weakness, nausea
Symptoms of Hypokalemia (late)
cardiac effects, neuropathy,
