objectives 1- body fluids and electrolytes 2- intravenous fluid therapy 3- types of intravenous fluids
3
BODY FLUIDS Fluid intake is derived from both exogenous (consumed liquids) and endogenous (released during oxidation of solid foodstuffs)
5
The following are the approximate daily requirements of some electrolytes in adults: • sodium: 50–90 mM/day; • potassium: 50 mM/day; • calcium: 5 mM/day; • magnesium: 1 mM/day.
6
Indications for IV fluids therapy
To provide water, electrolytes, and nutrients to meet daily requirements To replace water and correct electrolyte deficits
7
IV solutions contain dextrose or electrolytes mixed in various proportions with water Can electrolyte-free water can be administered by IV? NOO! it rapidly enters red blood cells and causes them to rupture
8
3 main types: Isotonic Hypotonic Hypertonic
9
Types of IV Solutions according to osmolarity
Isotonic Hypotonic Hypertonic 0.9% Sodium Chloride = Normal Saline 0.45% NaCl 10% dextrose solution Lactated Ringer’s (LR) 3%Sodium Chloride D5W 0.18% NaCl D5W (5th glucose saline)
10
Crystalloid solutions aqueous solutions of salts, minerals or any other water soluble substances. Saline, which is an aqueous solution of sodium chloride, is a crystalloid. Since they contain small molecules, they can be passed through all the cell membranes and go into cells e.g. normal saline
11
Colloids: a homogeneous mixture, The particles in colloidal solutions are of intermediate size compared to particles in crystalloids so they remain in intravascular compartment e.g. hetastarch
13
