Fluids that are Isotonic
ECF, ICF, LR, NS
Fluids that are hypotonic
D5W
1/2 NS
D51/2
Hypertonic IV fluids
Na Lactate
3%
Causes of Isotonic dehydration
vomiting, diarrhea, polyuria, gastric suction, hemmorrhage, fever
third-space shifting(burns, BO, peritonitis)
A BUN >30 suggest?
Isotonic Dehydration
Normal BUN levels
8-20
Which IV fluid should not be used with patients that have electrolyte imbalance
LR
IV fluid most similar to ECF?
LR
safest IV fluid to give to a pt.
1/2 NS
BUN between 20-30 suggest?
true renal complications
In which types of patients would you see Isotonic overhydration
Renal failure
CHF
Liver cirrhosis

Excess Na intake
S/Sx of isotonic overhydration
Peripheral edema
Wt gain
JVD
pleural effusion
>BP
ascites
<HCT
Tx for Iso Overhydration
restrict fluids
diuretics
Monitor: VS,CXR, BUN,HCT
Normal K levels
3.5-5 meq/L
what shift takes place in Hypokalemia
transcellular shift ECF to ICF
S/Sx of Hypokalemia
anorexia, Drowsiness, Coma, N/V, arrythmia, hypotension
Tx of Hypokalemia
Correct underlying cause
K-sparing diuretics
correct hypomagnesemia
severe hyperkalemia level
>7
drug given to pt's experiencing stinging pain due to rapid K infusion
Neut
A BUN/Cr ratio >30 suggest
dehydration
Burn pts tend to be Hypo or Hyperkalemic?
Hyper bcz the cells burst and the K goes into the extracellular fluid; so use NS bcz LR has K in it
what do you monitor in isotonic overhydration
I/O, VS,CXR,BUN,HCT
Important lab to get with hypokalemic patients
Magnesium level
amphotericin B causes hypokalemia by what mechanism?
It decreases magnesium levels therefore it indirectly decreases K
explain how lithium can cause hypo or hyperkalemia
lithium is a salt that competes with K; so >k=<Li or >Li=<K; therefore must monitor K, Li, and Na
drug that reverses digoxin toxicity
Digibind
normal digoxin levels
.8-1.2
if your pt tells you he sees halos, what's happening
He has digoxin toxicity; he may also have ALOC
what method is used to give K
Infused 10meg/L over 30 min; if given too fast it can cause an arrythmia
what is Neut?
Sodium Bicarb, used to decrease stinging effect of fast K infusion
causes of Hyperkalemia
Acute renal failure
chronic renal failure
Burns
metabolic acidosis
Tumor lysis syndrome
Drug induce:
K-sparing diuretics, ACE-I, NSAIDS(arthritis, Gout),Heparin,Bactrim
what causes latic acidosis
glucophage
Pt presentation in pt with Hyperkalemia
confusion, arrythmias, N/V/D
Tx for Hyperkalemia
Acute: cardiac monitor, Calcium gluconate 10%(cardioprotective)
HCO3(for acidosis)
Insulin/dextrose(brings K into cell)
Kayexelate-30 gm PO

Never give Calcium who is Dig Toxic
what happens if you give calcium to pt who is Dig toxic?
you get a stone heart
In Hyperkalemia, if pt is acidotic, how do you treat?
give HCO3
Kayexelate(Sodium Polyestherine)
sugar-bases product given orally or enema, binds to K;
usually given to moderate pts.
Tx for severe hyperkalemia
Dialysis
What is Hyponatremia
sodium levels less than 135 meq/l
what shift takes place in Hyponatremia?
ECF to ICF-results in cell swelling
Pt presentation with hyponatremia
<skin turgor
malaise/headache/confusion
cerebral edema
seizures (below 118)
resp arrest
Types of Hyponatremia
Hypovolimic (<Na, <TBW)
Euvolemic (Normal Na, >TBW)
Hypervolemic (>Na, >TBW)
Drugs that can cause Hyponatremia
NSAIDS, SSRIs, Clonidine, Tricyclic antidepressants, vasopressin
Tx of hypovolemic and Euvolemic hyponatremia
iso saline 1.5-2 mEq/L/hr until symptoms resolve

Goal is 120
when can you give 3% hypertonic solution
if pt <118 Na; infuse slowly bcz can induce paralysis
what is Hpernatremia
Serum >145 mEq/L
fluid shift from ICF to ECF
Cell shrinks
Tx for hypernatremia
Extrerenal: NS, once stable switch to 1/2 NS
Renal: hypotonic saline, monitor until Na<148
NSAIDS decrease Na (true or false)
True
what is the strongest diuretic
loop diuretics
serum level of Hypocalcemia
<8 mEq/L
Diuretics, insulin/glucose therapy, alcohol, <magnesium can all cause this condition
hypokalemia
which pts would use osmotic diuretics
pt's with renal losses- ICP, hyponatremia(cell swelling,cerebral edema) because they reduce
if you have renal losses with a hypertopnic pt, which fluid do you give
hypotonic saline
Tx for extrarenal hypernatremia
start with NS then switch to 1/2 NS
serun level of hypomagnesemia
< 1.5
causes of Hypomagnesemia
excessive GI loss, laxative use, hypercacemia, pancreatitis
serum level of hypermagnesemia
