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,
|
