ECF (extracelluar)

Interstitial (space surrounding cells)


Intravascular (blood heart holds plasma )

Third spacing

Fluids shifted to areas where they no longer maintain fluid and electrolyte balance. Results in ascites and edema

Blood plasma

90% water and albumin protein too large to pass through semipermeable capillary walls

Diffusion

Substance to flow over naturally from area of a higher concentration to one of lower concentration (CO2 and O2)

Water in body

Maintain temp (takes longer to change temp) transport minerals vitamins waste products protects brain and spinal with synovial fluid and lubricates joints and digestive tract

Intracellular fluids

Lymph and fluid between cells

CHF and lymph fluid

CHF can't bring lymph fluid back (not enough hydrostatic pressure)

Average fluid intake

2500 ml

ADH

Antidiuretic hormone released by pituitary gland causes kidneys to release fluid back into system

Aldosterone

Sodium retention (BP up) more water

Renin

Enzyme secreted by the kidneys into the plasma in response to aldosterone action

Angiotensin

Produced in response to renin converts to angiotensin II then causes vasoconstriction

Fluid volume deficit

Vomiting diarrhea sweating lack of fluid intake



Flushed dry skin thirst nausea decreased urine production dry mucous membranes rapid weak pulse fever hypotension confused decreased LOC

Most important test for fluid volume deficit

Weight!

Fluid deficit treatment

Fluid electrolyte replacement clear liquid diet antiemetics and antidiarrheal monitor VS I/o monitor voiding at least q8h mucous membrane moisturizing as needed and monitor electrolytes by blood work

Fluid volume excess

Causes : CHF renal failure cirrhosis (liver failure)


S/sx weight gain edema hypertension neck vein Distention lung congestion full bounding pulse increased bp anxiety ascites



Treatments: low na diet, I/o daily weights vital signs diuretics fluid restriction auscultation of breath sounds

Chloride foods

Salty foods lettuce celery olives

Potassium

Dried fruits potatoes oranges bananas leafy great meats

Magnesium

Leafy greens whole grains beans

Calcium

Dairy products leafy greens shellfish

Phosphorus

Meats fish dairy egg yolks beans nuts

Chevostek sign

Tap 2 cm anterior to ear love and assess facial twitch and eye wink

Trousseaus sign

Inflate BP cuff on upper arm and asses for spasm in hand and fingers

Hypocalcemia


Causes S/sx


Treatment

VitD deficiency, pancreatitis, hypoparathyroidism


S/sx numbness tingling of fingers positive chvostets and trouseaus test tetany muscle cramps

Hypocalcemia


Causes S/sx


Treatment

VitD deficiency, pancreatitis, hypoparathyroidism


S/sx numbness tingling of fingers positive chvostets and trouseaus test tetany muscle cramps

Hyper calcium S/sx causes

Hyperparathyroidism bone cancer osteoporosis prolonged immobility acidosis

Hypokalemia


Causes S/sx treatment

Potassium wasting diuretics diarrhea vomiting gastric suctioning


S/sx weak rapid irregular pulse hypotension anorexia N/V fatigue muscle weakness cramps abdominal Distention decreased peristalsis


Treatment supplement K and monitor... Monitor vitals and heart rhythms

Hypokalemia


Causes S/sx treatment

Potassium wasting diuretics diarrhea vomiting gastric suctioning


S/sx weak rapid irregular pulse hypotension anorexia N/V fatigue muscle weakness cramps abdominal Distention decreased peristalsis


Treatment supplement K and monitor... Monitor vitals and heart rhythms

Hyperkalemia

Renal failure ketoacidosis too rapid infusion KCL severe dehydration !severe burns! Potassium spreading diuretics


Anxiety bradycardia/dysrhythmias weakness diarrhea


Treatment -monitor k lab restrict dietary intake K monitor vitals severe: IV glucose insulin

Calcium

99% in bones needed for bone and teeth formation cell permeability electrical impulses via nerve for muscle contraction

Magnesium

Neuromuscular function dilation of arteries enzyme function carb and protein metabolism


If low or calcium high look for low phosphorus

Hypomagnesemia

Malnutrition alcoholism diarrhea vomiting nasogastric drainage


S/sx muscle tremors hyperactive deep tendon reflexes confusion TORSADES

Hypomagnesemia

Malnutrition alcoholism diarrhea vomiting nasogastric drainage


S/sx muscle tremors hyperactive deep tendon reflexes confusion TORSADES

Hypermagnesemia

Renal failure excess intake mag


Hypo active deep tendon reflexes decreased respiration a hypotension flushing

Hypomagnesemia

Malnutrition alcoholism diarrhea vomiting nasogastric drainage


S/sx muscle tremors hyperactive deep tendon reflexes confusion TORSADES

Hypermagnesemia

Renal failure excess intake mag


Hypo active deep tendon reflexes decreased respiration a hypotension flushing

Bicarbonate

Regulated by kidneys major base buffer in the body


22-26

Chloride

Transport of chloride follows sodium - dietary intake and kidneys regulate

Hypochloremia

Causes committing n/g (loss of hydrochloric acid)


S/s similar to hyponatremia


Treatment increase nacl intake and infuse 0.9 nacl

Phosphorus

Assists in acid base balance vital for tissue muscle and rbc promotes neuromuscular metabolism

Respiratory regulation

Excess H and CO2.. Restorations increase to rid the body of CO2 process is rapid

Respiratory acidosis

Excess cabonic acid in EFC(can't get rid of CO2) pneumonia bronchitis

Respiratory acidosis

Excess cabonic acid in EFC(can't get rid of CO2) pneumonia bronchitis

Respiratory alkalosis

Short not related to disease. Hyperventilation extreme anxiety high fever

Metabolic acidosis

Lungs kick in (ketoacidosis- keussmals breathing)

Metabolic alkalosis

Excess hco and h vomiting or gastric suctioning Hypokalemia bicarbonate injection steroid or diuretic use
