term for fluid volume excess   Hypervolemia  
🗑
can congestive heart failure throw you into fve?   3. Decrease in cardiac output, decrease in kidney perfusion, decrease in urine, too much fluid in the vascular space  
🗑
How can renal failure throw you into fluid volume excess?   4. If your kidneys are not working then the fluid will be retained in the vascular space

How can IV fluids with sodium induce hypervolemia?   Because sodium makes you retain water  
🗑

What happens to your veins when you are hypervolemic?   They distend. (Full)  
🗑
Why does the hypervolemic patient develop edema?   The vascular space gets full and gets to where it can’t hold anymore and the fluid eventually leaks into the tissues  
🗑
Why does the hypervolemic patient develop ascites?   20. Vascular space gets so full it can’t hold any more so the fluid leaks into the abdomen. Therefore the vascular volume goes down.  
🗑
What is ascites   Fluid in the abdomen (peritoneum), third spacing  
🗑
When you have a patient who is developing ascites, you know you are supposed to measure the abdominal girth every day.
