🗑
Osmotic Concentration   "aka osmolality -influence H2O movement into and of cell"  
🗑

🗑

🗑
Obligatory Loss   "1500mL/daily Skin - sweat - 500mL Lungs - gaseous H2O - 400mL GI - fecal H2O - 100mL (enzyme & saliva - reabsorbed) Kidney - urine - 500mL (min)"  
🗑
Reasons for water excretion   excretion of water soluble waste, to maintain proper ECF and ICF osmotic balance  
🗑
Obligatory Sources   "Oxidative metabolism - 400mL Dietary Intake - 1100mL"  
🗑
Amount of urine is produced in 24 hours   1500-2000 mL  
🗑
Dehydration: causes   decreased intake-rare-fasting, air travel, extreme cold temp; Increased loss - GI dist, High temp, excessive sweating, post-op, hyperventilation, diuretics(natural, medications), low BG(sweating), high BG(dilute urine produced), increased ETOH intake, DKA  
🗑
Dehydration: symptoms   Thirst, Dryness of mouth/skin - decreased skin turgor, Oliguria(400-700mL), Hypotension, Tachycardia- heart muscle, Muscle weakness, cramps, dizziness, Weight loss Extreme - cerebral dehydration - cerebral vessels can tear - resulting in hemorrhage  
🗑
Dehydration: Management   increased oral intake, IV - 5  
🗑
Gradual Rehydration   2/3 of H2O balance in 1 day, important in cerebra edema; rapid cerebral rehydration can result in brain vessel rupture  
🗑
Ways by which body tries to correct dehydration   "1. Hypothalamic thirst centers stimulated- feeling of thirst-pt. drinks fluid 2. ADH production (vasopressin) is increased- diuresis prevented-less urine excreted 3. Redistribution of H2O between ICF and ECF- H2O diffuses out -isotonic balance maintain  
🗑
Electrolyte   substance whose solution conduct electricity  
🗑
Ionic substances separate into   "positive ions - cations negative ions - anions"  
🗑
Positive Ions   Cations - potassium (K+), sodium (Na+)  
🗑
Negative Ions   Anions - Chloride (Cl-), Bicarbonate (HCO3-), Potassium Sulfate (SO4 2-), HPO4-  
🗑
ECF Ions   Sodium, chloride, Bicarbonate  
🗑
Hyponatremia: causes   More often due to excessive sodium lost the decreased intake; burns, excessive sweating, increased physical exercise, V/D, overfunction of hormonal function  
🗑

🗑
