FLUIDS AND ELECTROLYTES 1.

Isotonic: Hypovolemia – loss of fluids in the

intravascular space

IV FLUIDS  Water loss = electolye loss

 Iv Fluids: give isotonic

ISOTONIC
2. Hypertonic: High con
- same concentration/ osmolarity/ osmolarity
to blood  Water loss is greater than electrolyte loss
 IV fluids: Give Hypotonic
- stays in intravascular
3. Hypotonic: Low Con
HYPERTONIC
- high concentration
- fluids (cells) move into blood
- “slow infusion”

 Water loss less than electrolyte loss

 IV fludis : Give hypertonic

HYPOTONIC
- low concentration
- slow infusion

Fluid Volume Deficit

Fluid OVlume Excess Potassium “ Pota Arte”
1. Isotonic “Hypervolemia”  Normal value: 3.5 -5 mEq/L “kalbumin”
 Excess fluid in the intravascular  Major intracellular cation
 Drug of choice: Diuretics K (cells) – blood = Hypekalemia
K (blood) – cells = Hypokalemia
2. Hypertonic – High Con : Hypernatremia  Increases muscosketal contraction
 High Na (1st): H2O retention K + muscle – direct
 Management: Na + H2O restriction  Abnormality can cause cardiovascular
 Drug of choice: loop diuretics – U K Na irregularity (decreased)
Mg
U – Up uric acid
K Na Mg – wasting/ Decreases ECG CHANGES:
3. Hypotonic – Low Con
 Water intoxication (1st) = Low Na
 Management: H2O restriction
 Drug of choice: Osmotic diuretics –
removal of H2O
Sodium “ magic 35-45”
- PCO2 – 35-35; pH 7.35 – 7.45
 Normal vale: 135-145 mEq/L
 Major intravascular cation
 Major determinant for concentration of
blood High Na = hypertonic blood / Low
sodium = hypotonic blood
 Regulates neuromuscular activity
 Sodium and H2O are not mutual
A. high NA (1st) = High H2O / Low Na (1st ) –
Low H2O
B. High H2O (1st) = low Na / Low H2o (1st) =
High Na
Calcium
 Normal value: 9-10 mg/dl “Calsyampo”
 Major components of the bones
Ca (bones) – blood= hyper
Ca (blood) – bones = hypo
 Muscoskeletal contraction
Muscle + Ca = inverse
Heart + Ca = direct
 Cardiac muscle contraction
 Abnormality can cause dysrhythmia
 Excess in the kidneys can cause
supersaturation and osmotic diuresis
High Ca – kidneys – renal calculi
- polyuria – Fluid Volume Deficit
 Phosphorus
 Normal value: 2.5 – 4.5 mg/dl
Magnesium  Inversely proportional calcium

 Normal value: 1.5 – 2.5 mEq/L Hypo: high cal = low phosphrus
 Vasodilator – high blood flow, low BP, hot Hyper: low cal = high phosphorus
= flushed
 Neuromuscular effects are similar to those
of Calcium

ABG Analysis
 Blood ph: 7.35 – [ 7.40] – 7.45
 PaCO2: 35-45 mmHg
 HCO3: 22-26 meq/L
 PaO2: 80-100 mmHg
 O2 saturation: 95-100%
ACUTE AND CHRONIC RENAL FAILURE
Acute Kidney Injury / Acute Renal Failure Low GFR – Low remove: High BUN = High
creatinine= uremia = azolemia –“poisoning”
 Sudden or progressive loss of kidney
function - renal mencephalopathy
 Reversible or irreversible

Causes:
