1
New cards

who is the universal donor and why

type o

  • no a or b antigens


2
New cards

kidneys

5
New cards

how do you calculate how much urine per hour is produced

1ml/kg/hr (need to look at pt wieght)

6
New cards

how do you convert kg into lb

kg x 2.2 = lb

7

icf- 40%

ecf- 20%

11
New cards

in the ecf what are the 2 subcategories

interstitial (16%)

12
New cards

what do 3e

13
New cards

if interstitial fluid is low what do we see

pt has dry skin

14
New cards

where is intertitial fluid

between cells and blood

15
New cards

what % of the blood is plasma

55

16
New cards

how does fluid move between compartements (icf and ecf)

continuously

17
New cards

what are barorecptors and where are they

pressure sensorys thruought body

carotid sinuses (arteries), aortic arch (BP highest here, so it detects perfusion), kidneys (regulate fluid).

18
New cards

where is the vasomotor center

medulla

19
New cards

how does the vasomotor center work

signls sns to signal adrenal gland

20
New cards

what does adrenal medulla release

epinephrine and norepinephrine (hormones in blood). strictor.

21
New cards

what does norepinephrine do

vasocontrictor

22
New cards

what does adrenal coretx release

aldosterone

23
New cards

what does aldosterone do

trigger for water retention

24
New cards

shat does hypothalamus initiate and how

thirst

signals the posterior pituitary to secrete ADH, which retains Na and water and also vasoconstricts.

25
New cards

what synthesizes renin

kidney

26
New cards

how does raas work (renin-angiotensin-aldosteron system)

kidney syntheisze renin then angiotension 1 (from liver) → angiotensin 2 (in the lungs0


27
New cards

what does angiotensin 2 do

causes vasoconstriction and stimulates aldosterone

28
New cards

what is strict I & O

oder mans measure everything( urine, number of stools, etc)

29
New cards

list the body fluids in the human body

water, plasma, blood, lymph, ICF, ECF (plasma, interstitial, transcellular).

30
New cards

what is the recommended daily intake

2-3L/day

31
New cards

what patients will experience fluid balance issues and fluid loss

burns, vomiting, diarrhea, hemorrhage, fever, excess sweating, diuretic use, renal disease, NPO.

32
New cards

What are the s&s if fluid output exceeds intake?

  • Dry mucous membranes, poor skin turgor, pale color and perfusion

  • LOC changes and irritability (mentation determines LOC)

  • Hypotension, tachycardia, decreased organ function (e.g., urea, creatinine)

  • Patients may be hypertensive first because they are overcompensating.


33
New cards

what 3 solutes does osmolity depend on

sodium, glucose, urea.

34
New cards

why is renal function so important

primary regulator of fluid output (balances the fluid).

35
New cards

osmality def

how much solute per unit of water.

36
New cards

what is normal blood asmolity

275–295 mOsm/kg H2O.

37
New cards

how does wtaer move when there are chnages to osmolality

via osmosis plus aquaporin channels (facilitated transport (diffusion), water only).

38
New cards

what does dehydration do osmolality

↑ osmolality (too much solute for the water).

39
New cards

what does overhydration do osmolality

↓ osmolality (not enough solute).

k efflux into ecf


44
New cards

how does na/k pump work

active transport so need atp

45
New cards

write the 4 phases of myocardial ap

  • Phase 0: Na influx (voltage-gated)

high

50
New cards

bicarbonate

acidic or alkaline

found where

51
New cards

what happens if you lose to much bicarbonate

vs keep to much bicarb

at risk for metabolic acidosis (e.g., high bicarb loss through GU/GI or respiration; tachypnea; risk of acidosis).


alkalosis: body fluids (in cluding blood are too high in ph )

52
New cards

what is urea a waste product of

amino acid metabolism

53
New cards

what metabolizes the ammmonia into urea

the liver

54
New cards

what is the goal of iv fluid admin and how does it work

Aims to maintain homeostasis and correct fluid imbalances.

Primarily via osmosis: water moves from low solute to high solute (“dilutes”).

55
New cards

what are the 3 most common sites of iv

medial cubital (most common, but painful, so other veins can be used), external jugular (superficial IV), internal jugular (deep vein but risky).

56
New cards

what is tonicity

is a relative measurement of IV fluid’s osmolality

57
New cards

all ivs are dispensed according to what

their tonicity

58
New cards

iv fuid tonicity 2 main solutes

sodium and dextrose

59
New cards

what is an isotonic fluid

same as plasma

60
New cards

what is a hypertonic fluid

higher (more solute).

61
New cards

what is a hypotonic fluid

lower (less solute)

62
New cards

what is the plasma solute concentration in helathy

280

63
New cards

explian the movement of isotonic

freely moving, no net fluid change. Great for maintenance.

64
New cards

explain movemnet of hypertionic and when it is used

high solute. Water moves from cells and interstitial fluid into plasma (expanded plasma volume; cells shrink). Used when the patient lost a lot of solute, or to draw H2O into circulation (e.g., cerebral edema).

65
New cards

explain movement of hypotonic and when it is used

low solute. Water moves from plasma into interstitial fluid and cells (cells swell).

Used when the patient has high solute and we want to dilute (e.g., high glucose).

66
New cards

what does hypertonic do to the plasma volume

expands

67
New cards

what does hypotomic do to the plasma volume

smaller plasma volume

68
New cards

does hypotonic or hypertonic have increased osmolatiyy in plasma

hyertonic

69
New cards

what are the 2 categories of iv fluid

colloids and Crystalloids:

70
New cards

what are colloids

how are they based

where do they stay

aka

Protein-based (mainly but not always).

Too large to leave circulation, so they draw H2O into circulation (hypertonic effect):

“plasma expanders.”

71
New cards

exmaple for when colloids are used

hypovolemic shock. Contraindicated in most other cases (no passage via capillaries, high renal workload).

72
New cards

what is the composition of crystalloids and how do they move thru body

  • H2O + electrolytes + other solutes (e.g., glucose). Move freely between ECF and ICF. Tonicity directs fluid movement.


73
New cards

explain protein content tonicity in the bag vs body

and example

although maybe isotonic in the ‘bag’, will be ‘hypertonic in the body’ d/t protein content ๏e.g. Albumin 5%

74
New cards

explain dextrose tonicity in the bag vs body

and ex

if dextrose is the dominant solute, the body uses it quickly, so the remaining fluid becomes more isotonic or even hypotonic. E.g., D5 1/2 NS is mildly hypertonic in the bag.

75
New cards

define fluid maintennace and how we achieve

meeting body requirements (keeping up with normal losses)

๏oral intake (eating/tube feeding); IV infusion; SC infusion

76
New cards

define fluid resuscitation and what to do in minor vs concerning cases

what is the goal

replacing deficits from more severe losses (hemorrhage, high fever, vomiting)

๏PO if minor; IV if concerning

goal: adequate perfusion => rescue intravascular volume

77
New cards

what are normal fluid losses from respiratory and stool

r- 400ml/day

stool; 100-200ml

78
New cards

is fluid restriction np

79
New cards

iv fluid maintenance calculation for adult w good organ fx

35 mL/kg/day of water

80
New cards

iv fluid maintenace calculation peds (theres 3 parts)

“4/2/1” rule

▪ 4ml/kg/hr for 1st 10 kg of body weight ▪

2ml/kg/hr for 2nd 10 kg of body weight ▪

1 ml/kg/hr for the remaining kgs

81
New cards

how much dextrose is needed daily to avoid starvation

50–100 g/day

82
New cards

what does D5 mean aand how many calories are in this

50 g glucose per L; 1 L of 5% dextrose = 170 cal.

83
New cards

calculate iv maintenance for 25 kg child

= 40 + 20 + 5 = 65 mL/hr.

84
New cards

s/s of fluid overload

weight gain, peripheral edema, JVD, crackles in lungs, SOB, bounding pulse, hypertension.

85
New cards

s/s of hypovolemia (low circulating blood/fluid volume)

tachycardia, weak pulse, hypotension, dry mucous membranes, poor skin turgor, ↓ urine output, confused or dizzy.

86
New cards

whta are 2 common isotonic fluids

93
New cards

what are the side effects of prolonged use of Normal Saline (NS) 0.9%

hyperchloremia (a lot of Cl → bicarb goes down → risk of acidosis; check kidney function/GFR), low other electrolytes, no dextrose (no energy, calories, or nutrients).

100
New cards

where does Dextran 40 go and how deos it work

stays in circulation ‘volume expander’ o binds RBCs & platelets, reduces aggregation o Anti-platelet o reduces blood viscosity o risk of bleeding
