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 |
|

|
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 |

Bicarbonate |
Regulated by kidneys major base buffer in the body 22-26 |
|
Chloride |
Transport of chloride follows sodium - dietary intake and kidneys regulate |
