| What is fluid volume excess? | Retaining too much water and sodium in the vascular space. |
| term for fluid volume excess | Hypervolemia |
| can congestive heart failure throw you into fve? | 3. Decrease in cardiac output, decrease in kidney perfusion, decrease in urine, too much fluid in the vascular space |
| How can renal failure throw you into fluid volume excess? | 4. If your kidneys are not working then the fluid will be retained in the vascular space |
| How can IV fluids with sodium induce hypervolemia? | Because sodium makes you retain water |
| Alka-Seltzer contains a lot of what? | Sodium |
| How can Alka-Seltzer throw you into hypervolemia? | 7. Alka Seltzer has a lot of sodium… so if you are taking alka seltzer the sodium will make you retain fluid in the vascular space |
| Fleets enemas contain a lot of what? | Sodium |
| How can a fleets enema throw you into hypervolemia? | Increase in sodium intake, therefore you retain fluid in vascular space |
| What is the normal action of aldosterone? | Aldosterone makes you retain sodium and water in the vascular space |
| How can aldosterone throw you into hypervolemia? | If you have too much aldosterone then you are retaining too much sodium and water |
| What is the name of the disease a patient can have that will induce hypervolemia due to too much aldosterone? | Primary hyperaldosteronism or Cushings |
| What is the normal action of ADH, and what does ADH stand for? | -Diuretic hormone. Makes you retain water in vascular space |
| How can ADH throw you into hypervolemia? | If you have too much ADH, you retain too much water in the vascular space (SIADH |
| Where is ADH stored? | Pituitary |
| What will the effects be on the body if a patient is producing too much ADH and what is the name of this disease? | If you have too much ADH you will retain too much WATER….SIADH |
| What will the effects be on the body if the patient does not have enough ADH and what is the name of this disease? | Diabetes Insipidus—diurese—shock (losing water) |
| What happens to your veins when you are hypervolemic? | They distend. (Full) |
| Why does the hypervolemic patient develop edema? | The vascular space gets full and gets to where it can’t hold anymore and the fluid eventually leaks into the tissues |
| Why does the hypervolemic patient develop ascites? | 20. Vascular space gets so full it can’t hold any more so the fluid leaks into the abdomen. Therefore the vascular volume goes down. |
| What is ascites | Fluid in the abdomen (peritoneum), third spacing |
| When you have a patient who is developing ascites, you know you are supposed to measure the abdominal girth every day. If the abdominal girth increases every day, what does that tell you about the vascular space? | There is still too much fluid in the vascular space and the excess is pouring over into the abdomen |
| Define CVP. Where is CVP measured? | Central Venous Pressure. Right atrium of the heart |
