Intracellular water is about...

63% of water

Extracellular makes up about

37% of water in the body

Intracellular is the fluid

In between cells

Intravascular fluid (IVF)

It's the fluid in the blood vessels (plasma)

Fluid in lymphatic vessels (lymph)

Makes up the majority of the ECF

Transcellular fluid is CSF is located

Eyes, synovial fluid, serous fluid in body cavities, and glandular secretion.

Blood plasma

It's the liquid portion of blood

1/3 of the total body water volume

Plasma and interstitial fluid

2/3 of the total water volume

Intracellular fluid

Extracellular has higher levels of

Na+, Cl, HCO3

Plasma has higher

Protein than any other CHF

Normal Saline has the same

Concentration of plasma

Intracellular fluid has higher levels

K+, Phosphorus, and magnesium

Water and electrolytes

Can move from one compartment to another

The average water intake

2500 mls per day

Water intake is from

Breakdown of food, from food, and fluid intake

Water leaves the body

Kidney, lungs, digestive track, sweat

Thirst center

Hypothalamus in the brain

Kidneys is assisted by what hormone for output

Autidiuretic hormone (ADH)

ADH is released in

The posterior pituitary of the brain

When not enough water the ADH

Is released and the body hangs on to the water and increases blood volume.

Whole bunch of water

ADH backs off, and your body releases water.

Hormone that assist with water balance

Aldosterone

Dehydration

When outtake exceeds intake

Skin turgor normal

Less then 2 seconds when pinched.

Dehydrated Skin turgor

Greater then 2 seconds when pinched

Lower blood circulation turns into

Low blood pressure and can lead to hypovolemic shock.

Fluid restriction

Edema

Fluid shift is normal

For homeostasis

Fluid shift pushing and pulling effect

With the capillaries whether it be filtration pressure, osmotic pressure, or trapped plasma protein in surrounding tissues.

Fluid spacing 1 spacing

Normal fluid distribution

Fluid spacing 2nd spacing

Excess fluid hangs out in the interstitial space. Edema

Fluid shift Third spacing

Is where fluid hangs out and does not have fluid. (Abdominal cavity ascites)

1 lTR of fluid

2.2 pounds

Electrolyte def

Are the substances that break up into electrical charged ions when dissolved in water

Electrolyte are

Controlled by the kidneys

Signs of hyponatremia

Muscle cramp, seizure, dry skin, weight gain, edema, weakness

Signs of hyponatremia labs

Deceased NA, decreased osmolaltiy, and decreased BUN

Signs of hypernatremia

Thirst, increased body temp, swollen dry tongue, Seizures, hyper-reflexia

Signs of hypernatremia labs

Increased NA, Osmolaltiy, and BUN

Examples of hypernatremia

Prolonged use of diuretics, uncontrolled diabetes, elderly who are post opt.

Examples of hyponatremia

Excess loss of sodium or fluid retention, drinks to much water, heart failure patients

Potassium primary regular

Aldosterone

Aldosterone stimulates

The nephron to excrete K+

Signs of Hypokalemia

High heart rate, low B/P, fatigue. Paresthesias, decreased GI mobility

Signs of Hypokalemia

Deceased heart rate, increased


B/P, dysrhythmia flaccid paralysis, ABD distention, leg cramps, muscle fatigue

Potassium is lost

With diarrhea and vomiting

Calcium is necessary

For bone and tooth formation, muscle contraction, nerve impulse formation and blood clotting.

Calcium primary regulator

Parathyroid hormone

Signs of Hypercalcemia

Low blood pressure, abnormal heart rate,numbness, tetany, hyperactive tendon reflexes, anorexia, depression, constipation, fatigue

Signs of hypocalcemia

Increased heart rate, high B/P, polyuria, hypoactive tendon reflexes, numbness, cramping. Life-threatening.

Magnesium important

I'm the function of the heart, muscles, and nerves.

Signs of Hypermagnesemia

Abnormal heart rate, low B/P and HR, kidney disease, magnesium-containing acids, comma

Signs of Hypomagnesemia

High blood pressure, abnormal heart rate, positive Trousseau/Chvostek sign, hyperactive tendon reflexes, tetany, tremors,


Surgical removal of thyroid, seen in critically ill patients

Hypomagnesemia can cause

Hypocalcemia and hypokalemia

Chief extracellular anion

Cl-


sodium


K+

Chloride affects

Acid-base balance this had to do with the bicarb (HCO3)

Signs of Hypochloremia

Low B/P, low HR/RR


Agitation, tremors, hypertonicity, tetany, seizures, hyperactive tendon reflexes.

Signs of Hyperchloremia

High HR/RR. Deceased LOC


High B/P decreased CO, dyspnea, enema, dysrhythmias, weakness, severe diarrhea

Phosphate

Primary regulator, excreted and reabsorbed through your kidneys

Bicarbonate works

With sodium, chloride, and potassium

Bicarb normal labs

22-26

Blood brings bicarb

To your lungs and exhaled as carbon dioxide

Hypophosphite signs

High BP low HR/RR


Paresthesias, bone pain, cardiomyopathy, Resp failure, tissue hypoxia,

Acid-Base balance has 3 mechanisms

Buffers, respiratory system, and kidney function

2 parts of a buffer

Base and acid

Buffer pairs

Sodium Bicarb, protein, and phosphate

Buffers job if excess of acid

The base part of the blood removes the H+

Buffers job if it's a decrease in acid...

The acid part of the blood gives H+

Lungs act as a second line of defense

CO2 removes LTR from the blood each day

Third line of defence acid babe balance

Kidneys

People with kidney failure

Are usually acidotic

Normal acid base level

7.35 to 7.45

Metabolic acidosis

No respiratory problems.


Headaches decrease blood pressure hyperkalemia, muscle twitching, flushed warm skin, nausea vomiting diarrhea changes in LOC

Metabolic alkalosis

No respiratory issues restlessness followed by lethargic, confusion, nausea vomiting diarrhea, triggers muscle cramps tingling and fingers and toes, hypochalemia, trachycardia, hyperventilation

Respiratory acidosis signs

Hyperventilation hypoxia, drowsiness dizziness and disorientation, muscle weakness hyperflexia, decreased blood pressure with vasodilation, dyspnea, headache.


Causes decreased respiratory stimuli drug overdose COPD pneumonia

Respiratory alkalosis signs

Seizures, deep rapid breathing, hyperventilation, turkey cardia, decreased or normal bp, hyperkalemia, numbness and tingling to extremities, lethargic, confusion, lightheadedness, nausea vomiting, causes hyperventilation anxiety PE fear mechanical ventilation.
