Term
ECV contains what 3 elements?
Definition
Na, Cl, HCO3
Term
ICV is mainly
Definition
K, PO4, SO4
Term
What is Albumin's role in ECV?
Definition
Most important osmotically active colloid in ECV (pulls water with it)and is 4g/L in serum, but only 1g/L in interstitial fluid.
Term
Na Value
Definition
140mg/dl
Term
Cl Value
Definition
100mg/dl
Term
K Value
Definition
4mg/dl
Term
Alb Value
Definition
4g/dl
Term
Normal loss of water/day
Definition
2.5-3L (urine 1-1.5 L)
Term
4-2-1 Rule
Definition
4cc/2kilo/10 on hourly basis
Term
Rx most commonly written by surgeons for fluids
Definition
125 cc/hour of lactated ringers
Term
Exceptions to adding fluid maintance
Definition
CHF and kidney failure
Term
Third spacing
Definition
Happens due to inflammation when vessels become leaky. Happens during surgery sometimes.
Term
Ideal Uterine Output
Definition
1cc/kg/hr, min 0.5cc/kg/hr Below 35cc/hr start to worry.
Term
Hypernatremia
Definition
from loss of water without salts. Ex. Burns, fever, hyperventilation, dehydration.
Term
Hyponatremia
Definition
from loss of water with salts. Ex. Diuretics, NGT, vomiting, hypoproteinism
Term
Electrolyte Replacement
Definition
1/2 in first 24 hours to prevent complications
Term
Hypokalemia
Definition
from GI losses most of the time, NGT, renal losses, prolonged NPO. Losing a ton of acid when throwing up, kidneys freak out and preserve hydrogen ions, pees out potassium to keep acid base normal. Lose K and Na both ways.
Term
Primary danger in Hypokalemia
Definition
Cardiac Arrythmias
Term
Typical symptoms of Hypokalemia
Definition
Weakness and ileus (dilated loops of small bowel)
Term
Hypokalemia EKG findings
Definition
flattened T waves
Term
Treatment for Hypokalemia
Definition
Oral or IV K+(10mEq/hr)
Term
Common reasons for Hyperkalemia
Definition
Overadministration, poor renal excretion, or transcellular shift
Term
Treatment for Hyperkalemia
Definition
IV Calcium- reverses hyperkalemia.
Term
Hyperkalemia can cause..
Definition
cardiac arrythmias, ECG changes (spiked T waves), sudden death
Term
Calcium important for
Definition
nerve conduction, muscle contraction, coagulation
Term
Where is Calcium absorbed?
Definition
in duodenum- if they have had Whipple procedure, issue with calcium absorption
Term
What controls Calcium in serum?
Definition
Parathyroid- turns up and down levels of calcium from bone to blood.
Term
Hypercalcemia
Definition
Hyperparathyroid Hormone or Malignancy
Term
Symptoms of Hypercalcemia
Definition
Fatigue, muscle weakness, depression, anorexia. Can lead to cardiac arrythmias if too high.
Term
Treatment for Hypercalcemia
Definition
NS hydration and lasix, sometimes calcitonin (anti PTH) and biphosphonates
Term
Hypocalcemia
Definition
Usually post parathyroid surgery. Low albumin because calcium is bound to albumin.
Term
Hypocalcemia symptoms
Definition
numbness/tinling around mouth, muscle spasms, can lead to tetany.
Term
Hypocalcemia Treatment
Definition
IV/PO calcium
Term
Low Mg
Definition
usually hidden reason that other lytes are unable to be corrected.
Term
High PO4
Definition
High in Renal Failure, avoid foods high in PO4.
Term
Treatment for PO4 and MG abnormality
Definition
dialysis
Term
Indications for Dialysis
Definition
Acidosis, hyperkalemia (heart issues), volume (cant unload water- CHF,PE), symptomatic uremia
Term
ABG format
Definition
pH/PCO2/PO2/HCO3/Base Deficit
Term
Normal pH
Definition
7.4
Term
Normal PCO2
Definition
40
Term
Normal pO2
Definition
100
Term
pCO2 change of 10 =
Definition
pH change of 0.08
Term
Respiratory Acidosis
Definition
pCO2 > 40
Retaining CO2
Sedation, head inury
Term
Respiratory Alkalosis
Definition
PCO2 < 40
Blowing of CO2
Pain, fever, sepsis, anxiety, hyperventilation
Term
2 common reasons for Metabolic Acidosis
Definition
1. Hypoperfusion of tissue (low blood flow) leading to lactic acidosis
2. Renal Impairement and inability to get rid of acids
Term
Normal anion gap
Definition
3-11
Term
Hgb O2 dissociating curve
Definition
30 is 60, 60 is 90, 40 is 75
Term

Definition
pO2 of 30, sat 60%
Term
Hypoxic
Definition
pO2 60, sat 90%
Term
Mixed venous blood gas
Definition
pO2 45, saat 75%
