🗑
FVD, respiratory   show
🗑
show severe, generalized third spacing  
🗑
most common site, 3rd spacing   show
🗑
show hypothalamus  
🗑
2nd spacing   show
🗑
show fluid in interstitial compartments  
🗑
FVD sodium   show
🗑
show normal to high (is intracellular, if enough cell death --or sodium levels -- could be high)  
🗑
show high (hemoconcentration); in children may be low but not pathologic  
🗑
show normal to high (stress response, >120)  
🗑
FVD urine specific gravity   show
🗑
show >300, more particles ↑ number of particles, concentration  
🗑
show full bounding pulses, hypertension, increased CVP, neck vein distension, CHF  
🗑
cerebral edema   show
🗑
show seen with FVE, Dyspnea, tachypnea, hacking cough, crackles, o2 sat down  
🗑
show weight gain, nonpitting interstitial edema, hepatomegaly/splenomegaly  
🗑
show pulmonary edema  
🗑
neck vein distension   show
🗑
goal of Rx for FVE   show
🗑
show renal failure, heart failure, excess fluid intake (without electrolytes), high corticosteroids, high aldosterone, plain water enema, NG irrigations, excess hypotonic IV fluids, SIADH, inappropriately prepared formula (dilute formula)  
🗑
show excessive hypertonic fluids, binge drinking contest, psych disorders, drowning in fresh water, inappropriate dialysis  
🗑
FVE, potassium   show
🗑
show very low, <125  
🗑
show low (hemodilution)  
🗑
show low, <1.005  
🗑
FVE, glucose   show
🗑
decreased sodium and potassium signs   show
🗑
increased sodium and potassium signs   show
🗑
show releases H+ ions in water  
🗑
base   show
🗑
buffers   show
🗑
show measured as CO2  
🗑
show bicarb: carbonic acid = 20:1  
🗑
carbonic acid-bicarb system   show
🗑
show hard for cells to grow  
🗑
>>> Respiratory buffer system, carbonic acid   show
🗑
show changes in depth/rate of resp alters it: hypoventilation retains CO2/carbonic acid and causes acidosis, hyperventilation loses CO2 and causes alkalosis  
🗑
renal buffer system: time and effectiveness   show
🗑
show primary renal component, can be absobed as needed, combines HCl with ammonia to make ammonium, which is easily excreted by kidneys into urine  
🗑
show regulatory mechanism to return pH to normal level by transforming acids and bases within the body  
🗑
show causes a respiratory compensation  
🗑
acute primary respiratory disturbance   show
🗑
complete compensation   show
🗑
show buffers are in the process of working; pH is low but the bicarb is elevating to compensate (or pH is high but CO2 is elevating to compensate)  
🗑
show *negative logarithm of H+ ion concentration in mEq/L (as H+ ion concentration increases, pH decreases) *normal values 7.35 -7.45 (less is acidotic, more is alkalotic)  
🗑
HCO3- (bicarb)   show
🗑
show indicates the amount of bicarb available in the ECF normal value: +/- 2 mEq/L  
🗑
show *Concentration of anions (HCO3- , Cl-, protein, phosphate, & sulfates) and cations (Na+, K+, MG++, & Ca++) *10-12 mEq/L normal *increased in metabolic acidosis (but can be normal) *calculated by Na - Cl + bicarb  
🗑
SaO2   show
🗑
show amount of oxygen available to bind with hemoglobin, amount of pressure exerted on O2 by plasma  
🗑
the lower teh PaO2 pressure, the ....   show
🗑
show correlate with dramatic drops in oxygen saturation  
🗑
PaO2 normal values   show
🗑
show *partial pressure of CO2 *reflects adequacy of alveolar ventilation, regulated by lungs, alterations indicate resp disturbance *normal values 35-45 mmHg (less is alkalotic, more is acidotic)
