Ns 0.9% nacl

Expand volume, dilute meds, keep veins open, isotonic

Lactated ringers

Fluid resuscitation, isotonic for bleeding and burns

D5 1/2 ns d5ns

Used for Na volume replacement. Hypertonic go slow causes fluid overload

D5w

Isotonic outside the body enters the body becomes hypotonic. Metabolize glucose. Diabetic patients. High sodium patients. Dehydrated

Fluid volume deficit causes

Increased sodium, increased hct, increased specific gravity

Overhydration causes

Decrease sodium, decreased hct, decreased specific gravity

Alkalosis

Increased ph

Acidosis

Decreased ph

Hyperkalemia signs

Make twitching, weakness, flaccid paralysis, irritability, anxiety, low bp, bradycardia, abdominal cramps, diarrhea

Hypokalemia

Weakness, fatigue, confusion, drowsiness, lethargic, constipated.

Calcium phosphate

Oppose each other

Hyponatremia treatment

Restrict fluids, if iv needed administer slowly

Hypernatremia treatment

Restrict sodium, increase water intake

Hypokalemia treatment

Potassium supplements, assess renal status, encourage high potassium diet

Hyperkalemia treatment

No iv potassium, administer 50% glucose with insulin

Hypocalcemia treatment

Calcium supplements, foods with calcium

Hypotonic solutions cause

Fluid to move from ecf to icf.

Hypertonic solutions cause

Intravascular hydration

Kussmaul

Fruity acetone breath

Hypoxia symptoms

Restlessness, anxiety, tachycardia. .RAT bradycardia, extreme restlessness, dyspnea...BED

Asthma management

Adrenergic, steroids, theopylline, hydration, maintain 02, anticholinergic

Pulmonary edema

Meds airway decrease preload MAD diuretics, oxygen, blood gasses DOG

Pneumothorax

Air in the pleural cavity, resulting in lung collapse. Pleural pain, chest wall expansion.

Sweat chloride test

Collection of sweat to determine chloride levels in body

Fecal fat test

test evaluates fat absorption to tell how well the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and intestines are working

Pulmonary function test

Noninvasive diagnostic tests that provide measurable feedback about the function of the lungs. By assessing lung volumes, capacities, rates of flow, and gas exchange, PFTs provide information that, when evaluated by your doctor, can help diagnosis certain lung disorders.
