Sweat, panting

 

Not easily measurable

 

Term
Normal Urine Output

Term
Why Fluid Therapy
Definition

Maintaining Hydration

 

Rreplacing fluid loss

 

Tx shock 

 

Increase urine output

Term
How Much Fluid to Give
Definition

Based on:

 

Hydration status

 

reason for fluid loss

 

physical condiction

Term
Fluid Routes of Administration
Definition

PO

 

SC

 

IV - best bolus/TKO

 

IP - neonates

 

IO - In bone - exotics and neonates

Term
Isotonic Fluid
Definition
Same osmolality of blood
Term
Hypotonic Fluid
Definition

Osmolality lower than blood

 

Sucks fluid out of intravascular 

 

Cells burst

Term
Hypertonic Fluid
Definition

More solute

 

Shrinks cells

 

Shifts fluid into the intravascular space

Term
Isotonic Crystalloids
Definition

Most common

 

Can be given SC

 

Good for dehydration

 

Maintaince fluid

Term
Hypotonic Crystalloids
Definition

Less sodium than extracellular fluid

 

Can not be given SC - causes tissue necrosis 

 

5% dextrose in water

Term
Hypertonic Crystalloids
Definition

More sodium than extracellular fluid

 

0.9% NaCl with 5% dextrose

 

10% dextrose in water

Term
Colloids
Definition

Large molecules

 

Pull water into vascular space

 

Do not diffuse across cell membrane

 

Do not give if dehydrated

 

Use for longterm Tx of shock

Term
