Term
What are the 3 primary uses of fluid therapy?
Definition
1. correct fluid deficits 2. correct electrolyte disturbances 3. correct acid/base imbalances

2/3 intracellular + 1/3 extracellular
Term
What are the 3 major electrolytes of extra cellular fluid? Which is most abundant?

7.4
Term
Normal pH of venous blood
Definition
7.35
Term
Fluid that contain small molecules that can pass through semi-permeable membrains and enter all body compartments.
Definition
Crystalloids
Term
Fluids are cateorized as _____ or _____ depending on electrolyte composition as compared to plasma.
Definition
balanced or unbalanced
Term
passes readily through vessel walls; 25% of fluid remains in vasculature ; 75% is redistributed to the interstitium (ex. 0.9% NaCl)
Definition
Isotonic
Term
0.45% NaCl with 2.5% dextrose is a ______ solution.
Definition
Hypotonic
Term
7% NaCl is a _____ solution used to rapidly re-expand the vascular volume.
Definition
Hypertonic
Term
A fluid that contains large molecules that don't readily passed through semi-permeable membranes so distribution is primarily intravascular.
Definition
Artificial colloids
Term
Colloids have a potential to cause or aggravate ___________.
Definition
coagulopathies
Term
The two most common indications for fluid therapy are ______ and ________.
Definition
dehydration and hypovolemia
Term
Loss of total body water with preservation of vascular volume
Definition
dehydration
Term
Should dehydration be corrected slowly or quickly?
Definition
Slowly so you don't over expand the vascular space
Term
Vascular volume is not large enough to preserve cardiac output
Definition
Hypovolemia
Term
Should hypovolemia be correted slowly or quickly?
Definition
Quickly, rapid re-expansion of vascular volume is required
Term
Is 5% dehydration clinically detectable?
Definition
Yes <5%=not clinically detectable; 5-6%=subtle loss of skin elasticity; 6-8%=obvious skin turgor delay, slight increase in CRT, eyes may be sunken, may have dry MM; 10-12%=skin remains tented, prolonged CRT, eyes sunken, dry MM, signs of shock; 12-15%=obvious signs of shock, death iminent
Term
With a hemorrhage you administer 2-3 times the amount of _____ as the volume lost, if substantial blood loss continues use _______.
Definition
Crystylloid solution,colloid solution
Term
Blood transfusion need is based on assessment of ____ ___ ____.
Definition
signs of anemia
Term
Condition in which systemic blood pressure is inadequate to deliver oxygen and nutrients to tissues and organs
Definition
Shock
Term
What is sensible water loss? What is insensible water loss?
Definition
sensible=water lost through urine and feces; Insensible=water lost through the respiratory tract
Term
Normal fluid losses are ___ - ___ ml/kg/day
Definition
40-60
Term
Sensible losses + insensible losses= _____ ______ ________
Definition
Maintenance fluid requirement
Term
Aggressive fluid therapy acheived through placing an IV catheter, patient must be monitored for over hydration
Definition

Term
IV medication doses are often ____ than those administered by different routes.
Definition
lower
Term
What factors are considered in determining a fluid therapy route?
Definition

Term
Fluid therapy route that can be used if GI tract is functional, only maintenance levels are required, and no severe deficit exists
Definition
Oral
Term
Fluid therapy route that can be used to deliver 50-150ml of isotonic fluids only at one site; it shouldn't be used for hypothermic patients or when large replacement volumes are needed.
Definition
subcutaneous
Term
Preferred fluid therapy route for critically ill, severely dehydrated, or hypovolemic patients; it has the most rapid effect on blood volume
Definition
Intravenous
Term
Fluid route used for fluid delivery in young and very small animals, absorption rate equivalent to IV route
Definition
Intraosseus
Term
CVP reflects the heart's ability to accommodate fluid administration. What is it?

Term
Whole blood is considered stored after __ hours it provides RBCs and plasma proteins
Definition
24
Term
Packed RBCs are the component of choice for _____ _____ ____ in patients who require oxygen carrying support.
Definition
increase RBC mass
Term
____ ____ ____ is harvested from fresh whole blood has not been cooled below 20-24C; it is used to stop bleeding
Definition
Platelet rich plasma
Term
What is the difference between fresh frozen plasma, liquid plasma, and frozen plasma?
Definition
Fresh Frozen plasma is collected frm a unit of whole blood and frozen at -20C or below within 8 hours of collection. It still retains its coagulation factors. After 12 months it is considered frozen plasma and can be stored for up to 5 years at -20C or less. It does not contain coagulation factors V and VII. Liquid plasma (not frozen) can be stored for up to 5 days after the expiration of the whole blood it was harvested from. It also does not have coagulation factors V and VII.
Term
This blood component therapy provides vn Willibrand factor (VIII), fibrinogen, and fibronectin; it has a shelf life of 1 year and is harvested by centrifuging partially thawed fresh frozen plasma and collecting the white foamy precipitate.
Definition
