Question
Answer
Crystalloids   Versatile, low cost, can pass through cell membranes quickly and therefore get to all body fluid compartments easily, isotonic  
🗑
Replacement fluids   will become hypokalemic over time, put on maintanence fluids for long periods, gives less Na and more K  
🗑
Normal Saline (0.9)   use for hyperkalemia, when animal is low on Na, flush wounds, etc  
🗑
LRS   use in acidosis CI: hyperkalemia, can't give with blood products as will cause clotting, has lactate or acetate which will bind with H= takes down acidosis and makes animal alkalotic, has lots of potassium in it  
🗑
5% dextrose   use for cardiac patient, won't sustain animal calorie wise, still must feed  
🗑
Ringers   No lactate  
🗑
Plasma-lyte R, Normosol-M   Replacement fluids  
🗑
Normosol R   Maintenance fluid  
🗑
Plasma-lyte M   Maintenance fluid  
🗑
Maintenance fluids   can have +/- 5% dextrose, less sodium, more K (better over the long-term), not appropriate for rapid administration  
🗑
Colloids in General   Have large molecular weight, can't cross vascular membranes, hold fluid in bloodstream, expensive, use in shock SE: allergic reactions or clotting problems, BLOOD IS PERFECT COLLOID  
🗑
Types of Colloids   Dextrans, Hetastarch (longer lasting, less risk of SE), Albumen/plasma  
🗑
Hypertonics in General   Saline above 0.9%, make animal thirsty, treat shock, don't use SQ or will cause sloughing, SE: phlebitis, electrolyte imbalance. Use slow administration rate or risk hypotension, bronchoconstriction, bradycardia  
🗑
Fluid additives   add to alter electrolyte balances  
🗑
Sodium Bicarb   use in metabolic acidosis  
🗑
Potassium Chloride   Use when hypokalemic, when on long-term replacement fluids, anorexic, v/d, diuretics, sweating horses SE:arrythmias, muscle weakness  
🗑
Calcium gluconate/calcium chloride   Use for hypocalcemia, milk fever, eclampsia, thumps SE: arrythmias, hypotension if too fast  
🗑
50% Dextrose   Use in anorexia, hypoglycemia, DO NOT USE SQ - sloughing/hypertonic  
🗑
Oral Electrolyte Preparations   Usually powders that must be mixed with water, Tumil-K for dogs/cats potassium supplementation, many types  
🗑
