Fluid and Electrolytes imbalance review

        Help!  

Term
Definition
Intercellular (ICF)   Body fluids within the cells, contains most of the body fluids about 2/3 in adults.  
🗑
Extracellular (ECF)   Body fluids found outside the cells about 1/3 in adults.  
🗑
Intravasular fluid   Body fluids found to be the plasma/blood  
🗑
Interstitial fluid   Body fluids found between the cells.  
🗑
Third spacing   Another term for fluids found between the cells.  
🗑
Babies   ECF > ICF and are at high risk of volume deficit.  
🗑
Isotonic solution   Equal distribution of water and particles.  
🗑
Hypotonic   Low particles with high water content.  
🗑
Hypertonic   High particles with low water content.  
🗑
Osmosis   The movement of water through a selective permeable cell membrane.  
🗑
Diffusion   A process by which particles move from an area of higher concentration to a lower concentration.  
🗑
Active Transport   Particles are moved from a lower concentratrion to a higher conentration with the use of energy.  
🗑
Hydrostatic Pressure   The force of fluid pressing outward against the vessel walls.  
🗑
Colloid Osmotic Pressure   The pulling force exerted by colloids(proteins) in a solution.  
🗑
Arteral Capillaries   HP>OP and fluids are pushed out.  
🗑
Venous Capillaries   OP>HP and fluids are pulled into  
🗑
Infants TBW   70% of fluids  
🗑
Adult males TBW   60% of fluids  
🗑
Adult females TBW   50% of fluids  
🗑
Fat Content   Women have greater 5 of body fat than men.  
🗑
Elderly TBW   Have more fat and less water, 40% - 45%  
🗑
NewBorns TBW   Have less fat and more water.  
🗑
TBW   Is determined by intake and output of fluids.  
🗑
Healthy adults/infants   Daily water requirement is 1500 ml of body surface area.  
🗑
Drinking sources   1400-1800 ml/per day  
🗑
Foods sources   700-1000 ml/per day  
🗑
Total daily intake source   2400-3200 ml/per day  
🗑

🗑
Defication water loss   100-200 ml/per day  
🗑
Diarrhea water loss   500 ml/per day  
🗑
Urine water loss   1-2 L daily/ 1ml/per hr  
🗑
Insensible water loss   Difficult to measure, unaware:Lungs, Skin(sweating)  
🗑
Avg daily insensible water loss   500-1000 ml/per day  
🗑
Total insensible water loss   2400-3200 ml/day  
🗑
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)   Energy used to given to particles to move against a concentration gradient.  
🗑
Thirst   Occurs with 2% water loss, stimulated by <ECF  
🗑
Kidneys   Key role in fluid&electrolyte balance and regulation of ECF volume.  
🗑
Increase ECF   Increase urine ecrection by the kidneys  
🗑
Decrease ECF   Decrease urine excreation by the kidneys  
🗑
Pituitary Gland   Regulate the release of antidiurectic hormone (ADH)  
🗑
Antidiuretic Hormone(ADH)   Called water conserving hormone: reabsorption of water.  
🗑
Inc secretion of ADH   Inc water retention  
🗑
Dec secretion of ADH   Dec water retention  
🗑
ADH regulated by   High plasma osmolality, hypotension, volume depletion  
🗑
SIADH disorder   Excessive ADH secrection equals excessive water retention
