Fluids Electrolytes

QuestionAnswer
Total body fluid Infant 70-80%
total body fluid 1 y.o. 64%
Total body fluid Puberty to 39 y.o. Male & Female Male 60% Female 54%
Intracellular Fluid within the cell (2/3 of body fluid-40% body wt
Extracellular Fluid outside thee cell 1/3 body fluid-20% body wt (5% plasma/15% interstitial)
trans cellular All secretions/cerebral spinal fluid (approx 1L)
Composition of body fluids Water, Non-Electrolytes, Electolytes, Ca/Mg
Non-Electrolytres Urea, dextrose, creatinine, albumin
Electroltyes Potassium/Phosphate (intracel), Sodium/Chloride (extracel)
Calcium/Magnesium 1% extracellular, 60% bone, 39% intracellular fluid
Osmotic pressure (1st method of transport) Drawing power for water < into >, dependent on # of molecules in solution
Oncotic pressure (2nd method of transport) Drawing power of colloids (albumin)
Diffusion random movement of molecules from high concentration to low concentration
Active transport Ions move from areas of lesser concentration to higher via ATP (enzyme) Na K amino acids
Filtration Transfer of H2O and a dissolved substance from high pressure to low pressure (urine)
Kidneys filter 170L of Plasma per day
How Kidneys regulate blood pH via excretion or retention hydrogen ions
Kidneys regulate extracellular fluid Vol & osmolality by retention or excretion of H2O
Kidneys regulate which electrolytes ECF electrolytes (Na & Cl)
Normal urine output 1000-1500ml/24hr (ave 40-80ml/hr)
oliguria <400ml/24hr
Anuria <50-100ml/24hr
total anuria No urine
polyuria >1500-2000ml/24hr (200ml or >/hr)
Circulatory system Blood flow to kidneys
Circulatory system circulates hormones (aldosterone, antidiuretic, parathyroid, calcitonin)
Lungs Effect blood pH by regulation of hydrogen ions via CO2 retention or exhalation
pituitary gland Releases ADH which stimulates the kidney to retain H2O
Pituitary gland ADH is manufactured in hypothalamus
adrenal glands Releases aldosterone which regulates NA & K
Thyroid/parathyroid Regulates calcium (thyroid-calcitonin & parathyroid-PTH parathy horm)
hypervolemia SOB, peripheral edema, distended neck veins, >BP, Wt gain
Causes hypervolemia Altered renal function, < excretion Na & H2O, excess saving Na or H2O (SIADH)
hypovolemia Dry sticky mucous membranes, thirst, wt loss, wk rapid pulse < BP
causes hypovolemia Third spacing phenom, polyuria, GI renal skin losses
Third spacing (burn pt) Tissue edema, <BP, cool extremities, rapid pulse
Third spacing causes Severe burns, < oncotic press, > capillary permeability, severe cell trauma
hypernatremia Flushed skin, intense thirst, NA >147, agitation, < urine
hypernatremia causes Rapid adm IV NaCl 3% or 5%
Na+ 135-145 mEq/L
hyponatremia Confusion, N/V, muscle spasms, h/a, Na <135 (symptoms 125)
hyponatremia causes Excessive water gain from SIADH or na free IV fluids, diuretics, gi fluid loss
potassium K+ 3.5-5.0 mEq/L
hyperkalemia Peaked narrow T waves, muscle weak, parenthesis face/tongue/hands/feet cardiac arrhythmia, QRS complex widens
hyperkalemia causes Tissue trauma, chemo, kidney failure, RBC tx end of shelf life
hypokalemia Flatter T waves, leg cramps, fatigue, confusion, musc weak
hypokalemia causes K movement into cells (IV insulin), K deplet diuretics, loss GI fluids
Serum Calcium Ca+ 8.9-10.5 mg/dl
Ionized Ca+ 4.0-5.5 mEq/L
hypercalcemia Musc weak, lethargy, polydipsia, N/V, anorexia
hypercalcemia causes Hyperparathyroidism, solid tumor w/mets
hypocalcemia Numb ting toes/fingers, Trousseau’s sign (hand w/BP cuff); Chvoste’s sign (facial tapping cause musc spasms)
hypocalcemia causes Parathyroid hormone deficit (PTH), multiple units of citrated blood
Chloride Cl- 100-106 mEq/L
Hyperchloremia Cl >110L, Kussmal’s breathing, intense thirst
hyperchloremia causes CRF, Eclampsia
Hypochloremia Metabolic alkalosis d/t >bicarbonate w/loss of Cl-
hypochloremia causes Excessive vomiting, GI suctioning
Phosphorous PO4 2.5-4.5 mg/100ml
Hyperphosphatemia Tetany, low ca level, pPO4 >4.5, >serum bicarbonate
Hyperphosphatemia cause >catabolism, chemo (destroys cells and loses PO4)
hypophosphatemia Dysphasia, ataxia PO4<2.4
hypophosphatemia causes Hypothyroidism, hyperparathyroidism, ETOH abuse
magnesium Mg2+ 1.5-2.5 mEq/L
hypermagnesemia Flushing, sweating, n/v, <BP, depressed deep tendon reflexes
Hypermagnesemia causes Excessive MG admin via IV, Chronic renal disease, hemodialysis w/hard water
hypomagnesemia Agitation, neuromuscular irritability, confusion, + Chvostek’s sign, + trousseau’s sign, card arrhythmia
hypomagnesemia causes Chronic ETOH. Severe malnutrition

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
