🗑
3 Factors of solubility   1. Nature of the solute/solvent 2. Temperature (e.g. heating up water to put more kool aid in it) 3. Pressure (Henry's Law)  
🗑
Henry's Law - Solubility & Pressure Relationship   Solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the pressure of that gas above the surface of the solution (e.g. pop - bottled up under pressure; when we open it the gas releases = gets flatter)  
🗑
3 types of solutions based on solubility   1. Saturated - the perfect amount of kool aid in water (not too much, not too little) 2. Unsaturated - 1/2 the kool aid in water - could add more 3. Supersaturated - changing the solvent state to add more solute in it (e.g. heating up H2O to add more)  
🗑
Suspension   Heterogenous mixture. Large particles that float in a liquid; particles will settle when allowed to stand (e.g. sand in water)  
🗑
Colloid   Mixtures w/ large particles but small enough to remain suspended. Neither a solution or a suspension. Tend to not settle  
🗑
Isotonic   Has same solute concentration as another solution (same osmolarity). Fluid at an equal rate (e.g. 0.9% saline solution - NaCl)  
🗑

🗑
Simple Diffusion   Cell walls composed of sheets of lipids with many minute protein pores. Substances must be small enough, lipid soluble, and have a concentration gradiant  
🗑

🗑

🗑
5 Ways that Fluid moves   1. Selectively Permeable 2. Diffusion 3. Active Transport 4. Filtration 5. Osmosis  
🗑
4 (first 2) Normal Conditions with Fluid Balance   1. Fluid balances are maintained via hydrostatic and colloid oncotic pressures 2. In the arteriole, hydrostatic pressure is greater then colloid oncotic pressure resulting in a net outflow of fluid  
🗑
4 (last 2) Normal Conditions with Fluid Balance   3. Venules = smaller hydrostatic pressure, therefore the colloid oncotic pressures draws fluid back into the venules 4. Any buildup of fluid in the interstitial space should be absorbed by the lymphatic system  
🗑
1 Abnormality with Fluid Balance   - Edema - buildup of fluid in the Interstitial Fluid (EFC)  
🗑
4 Reasons why Edema occurs   1. Increased Hydrostatic Pressure - or heart pumping harder 2. Increased Vascular Permeability - burns, infections, more fluid leaking out 3. Decreased Oncotic Pressure - not enough colloid/fluid 4. Decreased Lymph drainage - blocked/diseased  
🗑
Crystalliods - what they are   - Treats fluid volume deficit - Electrolytes or glucose - No colloids - Small enough to cross the capillary membranes  
🗑
Colloids - what they are   - Protein - Macromolecules - then creates fluid shifts; doesn't move out - Too big to cross the capillary membrane (stays in IVF)  
🗑
Colloids - what they do   - Increase the osmotic/oncotic pressure & volume in the vascular system by drawing/attracting fluid from interstitial & intercellular spaces (good for if you need to decrease fluid in certain spaces - Edema) - Corrects hypotension - Replenishes protein  
🗑
Problems with Colloids   - Causes fluid shifts from Intracellular and Interstitial spaces into the Intravascular space and can lead to problems  
🗑
3 types of Crystaloids   1. Isotonic - fluid has same osmolarity as plasma 2. Hypotonic - fluid has fewer solutes than plasma 3. Hypertonic - fluid has more solutes than plasma  
🗑
Isotonic - Crystalloid   - Same osmolality as body fluids - Fluids will not shift across compartments but the volume that's infused will be distributed equally to wherever it's needed  
🗑
Isotonic Dehydration - Crystalloid   - When fluids and electrolytes are lost in even amounts - No ICF fluid shifts in isotonic  
🗑
5 causes of Isotonic Dehydration   1. Diuretic Therapy - fluid abnormalities 2. Excessive vomiting 3. Excessive urine loss 4. Hemorrhage - bleeding out & losing solutes/solvents 5. Decreased fluid intake  
🗑
Isotonic Overhydration - Crystalloid   - Excessive fluids in the EFC - EFC expands; fluids do not shift between spaces - e.g. if we give too much and the body isn't able to get rid of it fast enough  
🗑
Hypertonic - Crystalloid   - Osmolarity greater than body fluids - Cause fluid shift out of ICF and into EFC (can cause cells to dehydrate) - Lots of Solutes - attracts fluid - Good for when we need fluid; not H2O  
🗑
Hypertonic Dehydration - Crystalloid   - Water loss in EFC is greater than solute loss (too much solutes - b/c of H2O loss)  
🗑
Hypertonic Overhydration - Crystalloid   - Too much solute from excess sodium gain - Hyperosmolarity of the EFC, draws fluid from the ICF into the blood stream  
🗑
Hypotonic - Crystalloid   - Osmolarity less than body fluids - Fluids shift from EFC to ICF (can treat hypotonic dehydration) - Puts fluid into cells - can lead to swelling & rupture  
🗑
Hypotonic Dehydration - Crystalloid   - Loosing too much solute and no H2O - Fluid shifts from bloodstream into the cells = decreased vascular volume = SHOCK  
🗑
Hypotonic Overhydration - Crystalloid   - Having too much H2O and no food/electrolytes (just water diet) - Osmolarity of the ECF decreases - Fluid moves into the IFC, fluid spaces expand  
🗑
