Fluid Resuscitation
Calculate the fluid deficit base on serum sodium level (assume patient Na is 120 mmole/l and patient weight is 70 kg)
Fluid deficit = BW x 0.5 ( Avg Na – pt Na )
Na avg
= 70 x 0.5 ( 140 – 120)
140
= 5 L
![Page 36: Fluids and Electrolytes Ahmed Mayet, Pharm.D., BCPS Associate Professor KSU.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e005503460f94ae8d95/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Fluid Resuscitation
Calculate the fluid deficit base on patient actual weight
if you know the patient weight before the dehydration then simply subtract patient current weight from patient previous weight
Pt wt before dehydration – pt current wt Exp if pt weight was 70 kg before and now pt
weight 65 kg then 70 kg – 65 kg = 5 kg equal to 5 L of water
loss (s.g for water is 1)

Fluid Resuscitation
Use crystalloids (NS or Lactate Ranger) Colloids is not superior to crystalloids Administer 500-1000 ml/hr bolus(30-60 mins)
and then 250-500 ml/hr for 6 to 8 hours and rest of the fluid within 24 hours
Maintain IV fluid (D5 ½ NS) until vital signs are normalized and patient is able to take adequate oral fluid

Regulation of Fluids in Compartments
Osmosis Movement of water through a selectively
permeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to a higher concentration until equilibrium occurs
Movement occurs until near equal concentration found
Passive process

Regulation of Fluids
Active Transport Allows molecules to move against
concentration and osmotic pressure to areas of higher concentration
Active process – energy is expended
43
![Page 44: Fluids and Electrolytes Ahmed Mayet, Pharm.D., BCPS Associate Professor KSU.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e005503460f94ae8d95/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Active Transport
Na / K pump Exchange of Na ions for K ions More Na ions move out of cell More water pulled into cell ECF / ICF balance is maintained

Osmolarity
Concentration of body fluids – affects movement of fluid by osmosis
Reflects hydration status Measured by serum and urine Solutes measured - mainly urea, glucose,
and sodium Measured as solute concentration/L
47
![Page 48: Fluids and Electrolytes Ahmed Mayet, Pharm.D., BCPS Associate Professor KSU.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e005503460f94ae8d95/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Osmolarity
Serum Osm/L = (serum Na x 2) + BUN/3 + Glucose/18
Serum Osm/L = (serum Na x 2) + BUN + Glucose
Normal serum value - 280-300 mOsm/L Serum <240 or >320 is critically abnormal Normal urine Osm – 250 – 900 mOsm / L

Pseudohyponatremia
Na content in the body is not actually reduced, but rather, it shifts from the eC compartment into the cells to maintain plasma osmolarity in a normal range.
Severe hyperlipidemia Severe hyperglycemia Every 100 mg above normal glucose add 1.6
mmole to Na value
![Page 84: Fluids and Electrolytes Ahmed Mayet, Pharm.D., BCPS Associate Professor KSU.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e005503460f94ae8d95/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
Treatment
Interventions If patient is normovolemic or edematous
Fluid restriction If patient is intravascular volume depletion
IV 0.9% NS or LR Avoid rapid Na correction A change of no more than 10-12 mmole/day Raid correction of Na can cause central
pontine myelinolysis and death 120-125 mmole/l is a reasonable goal and
safe
![Page 85: Fluids and Electrolytes Ahmed Mayet, Pharm.D., BCPS Associate Professor KSU.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e005503460f94ae8d95/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
HS should be given through central intravenous access because the osmolarity is greater than 900 mOsm/l.1.
Some practitioners use 3% Hs through a peripheral intravenous access site in an emergency situation because the osmolarity is close to the cutoff range for peripheral administration.
If a peripheral site is used, monitor for phlebitis and obtain central access as soon as possible.
![Page 86: Fluids and Electrolytes Ahmed Mayet, Pharm.D., BCPS Associate Professor KSU.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e005503460f94ae8d95/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)

Hypertonic Saline 3% NaCl
Use in patient with symptomatic hyponatremia such as in seizure, comatose patient, or patient with brain edema
3% NaCl 250ml with an infusion rate of 1-2ml/kg/hr exp; 70 kg patient
70kg x 1ml/kg = 70 ml 250ml/70ml = 3.5 hours

Complications of HS
Central pontine myelinolysis can occur with rapid correction of hyponatremia.
Characterized by permanent neurologic damage such as paraparesis, quadriparesis, dysarthria, dysphagia, and coma
More likely to occur with rapid correction of chronic hyponatremia compared with acute hyponatremia.
Advisable not to administer Hs in patients with chronic asymptomatic
![Page 89: Fluids and Electrolytes Ahmed Mayet, Pharm.D., BCPS Associate Professor KSU.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e005503460f94ae8d95/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
Complications of HS
Prevent by avoiding changes in serum Na of more than 10–12 mmol/l in 24 hours or more than 18 mmol/l in 48 hours.
Hypokalemia can occur with large volumes of HS
Hyperchloremic acidosis can occur because of the administration of Cl salt
Phlebitis if administered in a peripheral vein Heart failure - Fluid overload can occur
because of initial volume expansion
![Page 90: Fluids and Electrolytes Ahmed Mayet, Pharm.D., BCPS Associate Professor KSU.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e005503460f94ae8d95/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
Hypotonic IV fluid
Hypotonic fluids administered intravenously can cause cell hemolysis and patient death.
Albumin 25% diluted with sterile water to make albumin 5% has an osmolarity of about 60 mOsm/l and can cause hemolysis
“Quarter saline” or 0.25% naCl has an osmolarity of 68 mOsm/l and can cause hemolysis.

Hypotonic IV fluid
Avoid using intravenous fluid with an osmolarity less than 150 mOsm/l.
Sterile water should never be administered intravenously.
Use D5W administered intravenously if only water is needed.
Use a combination of D5W and 0.25% NaCl

Regulation of blood pH
The lungs and kidneys play important role in regulating blood pH.
The lungs regulate pH through retention (hypoventilation) or elimination (hyperventilation) of CO2 by changing the rate and volume of ventilation.
The kidneys regulate pH by excreting acid, primarily in the ammonium ion (NH4
+), and by reclaiming HCO3
- from the glomerular filtrate (and adding it back to the blood).

Normal Values for Blood Buffer in Arterial Blood.
The following values are determined by blood gas analyzer:
pH 7.35 – 7.45 PCO2 35 – 45 mm Hg
H2CO32.4 mmoles/L of plasma
HCO3- 24 mmoles/L of plasma
PO2 80 – 110 mm Hg

Respiratory Acidosis
Carbonic acid excess Exhaling of CO2 inhibited Carbonic acid builds up pH falls below 7.35 Cause = Hypoventilation (see chart) When CO2 level rises hypoventilation, producing
more H2CO3, the equilibrium produces more H3O+, which lowers the pH – acidosis.
CO2 + H2O H2CO3 H3O+ + HCO3

Respiratory Acidosis: CO2 ↑ pH ↓ Symptoms: Failure to ventilate, suppression of
breathing, disorientation, weakness, coma Causes: Lung disease blocking gas diffusion
(e.g., emphysema, pneumonia, bronchitis, and asthma); depression of respiratory center by drugs, cardiopulmonary arrest, stroke, poliomyelitis, or nervous system disorders

Respiratory Acidosis
Respiratory acidosis compensates by metabolic alkalosis Compensated by the kidney increasing
production of bicarbonate
Acute Hypercapnia:
HCO3 increases 1 mmol/L for each 10 mmHg increase in PaCO2 >40
Chronic Hypercapnia:
For each 10 mmHg increase in PaCO2 >40 HCO3 incr. 3.5 mmol/L

Respiratory Alkalosis
Decreasing of CO2 level due to a hyperventilation, which expels large amounts of CO2, leads to a lowering in the partial pressure of CO2 below normal and the shift of the equilibrium from H2CO3 to CO2 and H2O. This shift decreases H3O+ and raises blood pH – alkalosis.
CO2 + H2O H2CO3 H3O+ + HCO3

Respiratory Alkalosis: CO2 ↓ pH ↑ Symptoms: Increased rate and depth of breathing,
numbness, light-headedness, tetany Causes: hyperventilation due to anxiety, hysteria,
fever, exercise; reaction to drugs such as salicylate, quinine, and antihistamines; conditions causing hypoxia (e.g., pneumonia, pulmonary edema, and heart disease)
Treatment: Elimination of anxiety producing state, rebreathing into a paper bag
