Fluid Balance
Slide 4-

General Concepts Intake = Output = Fluid Balance Sensible losses Urination Defecation Wound drainage Insensible losses Evaporation from skin Respiratory loss from lungs
Slide 5-

Fluid Compartments Intracellular 40% of body weight Extracellular 20% of body weight Two types INTERSTITIAL (between) INTRAVASCULAR (inside)
Slide 6-

Age-Related Fluid Changes Full-term baby - 80% Lean Adult Male - 60% Aged client - 40%
Slide 7-

Fluid and Electrolyte Transport PASSIVE TRANSPORT SYSTEMS Diffusion Filtration Osmosis ACTIVE TRANSPORT SYSTEM Pumping Requires energy expenditure
Slide 8-

Diffusion Molecules move across a biological membrane from an area of higher to an area of lower concentration Membrane types Permeable Semi-permeable Impermeable
Slide 9-

Filtration Movement of solute and solvent across a membrane caused by hydrostatic (water pushing) pressure Occurs at the capillary level If normal pressure gradient changes (as occurs with right-sided heart failure) edema results from “third spacing”
Slide 10-

Osmosis Movement of solvent from an area of lower solute concentration to one of higher concentration Occurs through a semipermeable membrane using osmotic (water pulling) pressure
Slide 11-

Active Transport System Solutes can be moved against a concentration gradient Also called “pumping” Dependent on the presence of ATP
Slide 12-

Fluid Types Isotonic Hypotonic Hypertonic
Slide 13-

Isotonic Solution No fluid shift because solutions are equally concentrated Normal saline solution (0.9% NaCl)
Slide 14-

Hypotonic Solution Lower solute concentration Fluid shifts from hypotonic solution into the more concentrated solution to create a balance (cells swell) Half-normal saline solution (0.45% NaCl)
Slide 15-

Hypertonic Solution Higher solute concentration Fluid is drawn into the hypertonic solution to create a balance (cells shrink) 5% dextrose in normal saline (D5/0.9% NaCl)
Slide 16-

Regulatory Mechanisms Baroreceptor reflex Volume receptors Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone mechanism Antidiuretic hormone
Slide 17-

Baroreceptor Reflex Respond to a fall in arterial blood pressure Located in the atrial walls, vena cava, aortic arch and carotid sinus Constricts afferent arterioles of the kidney resulting in retention of fluid
Slide 18-

Volume Receptors Respond to fluid excess in the atria and great vessels Stimulation of these receptors creates a strong renal response that increases urine output
Slide 19-

Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone Renin Enzyme secreted by kidneys when arterial pressure or volume drops Interacts with angiotensinogen to form angiotensin I (vasoconstrictor)
Slide 20-

Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone Angiotensin Angiotensin I is converted in lungs to angiotensin II using ACE (angiotensin converting enzyme) Produces vasoconstriction to elevate blood pressure Stimulates adrenal cortex to secrete aldosterone
Slide 21-

Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone Aldosterone Mineralocorticoid that controls Na+ and K+ blood levels Increases Cl- and HCO3- concentrations and fluid volume
Slide 22-

Aldosterone Negative Feedback Mechanism ECF & Na+ levels drop  secretion of ACTH by the anterior pituitary  release of aldosterone by the adrenal cortex  fluid and Na+ retention
Slide 23-

Antidiuretic Hormone Also called vasopressin Released by posterior pituitary when there is a need to restore intravascular fluid volume Release is triggered by osmoreceptors in the thirst center of the hypothalamus Fluid volume excess  decreased ADH Fluid volume deficit  increased ADH
Slide 24-

Fluid Imbalances Dehydration Hypovolemia Hypervolemia Water intoxication
Slide 25-

Dehydration Loss of body fluids  increased concentration of solutes in the blood and a rise in serum Na+ levels Fluid shifts out of cells into the blood to restore balance Cells shrink from fluid loss and can no longer function properly
Slide 26-

Clients at Risk Confused Comatose Bedridden Infants Elderly Enterally fed
Slide 27-

What Do You See? Irritability Confusion Dizziness Weakness Extreme thirst  urine output Fever Dry skin/mucous membranes Sunken eyes Poor skin turgor Tachycardia
Slide 28-

What Do We Do? Fluid Replacement - oral or IV over 48 hrs. Monitor symptoms and vital signs Maintain I&O Maintain IV access Daily weights Skin and mouth care
Slide 29-

Hypovolemia Isotonic fluid loss from the extracellular space Can progress to hypovolemic shock Caused by: Excessive fluid loss (hemorrhage) Decreased fluid intake Third space fluid shifting
Slide 30-

What Do You See? Mental status deterioration Thirst Tachycardia Delayed capillary refill Orthostatic hypotension Urine output < 30 ml/hr Cool, pale extremities Weight loss
Slide 31-

What Do We Do? Fluid replacement Albumin replacement Blood transfusions for hemorrhage Dopamine to maintain BP MAST trousers for severe shock Assess for fluid overload with treatment
Slide 32-

Hypervolemia Excess fluid in the extracellular compartment as a result of fluid or sodium retention, excessive intake, or renal failure Occurs when compensatory mechanisms fail to restore fluid balance Leads to CHF and pulmonary edema
Slide 33-

What Do You See? Tachypnea Dyspnea Crackles Rapid, bounding pulse Hypertension S3 gallop Increased CVP, pulmonary artery pressure and pulmonary artery wedge pressure (Swan-Ganz) JVD Acute weight gain Edema
Slide 34-

Edema Fluid is forced into tissues by the hydrostatic pressure First seen in dependent areas Anasarca - severe generalized edema Pitting edema Pulmonary edema
Slide 35-

What Do We Do? Fluid and Na+ restriction Diuretics Monitor vital signs Hourly I&O Breath sounds Monitor ABGs and labs Elevate HOB and give O2 as ordered Maintain IV access Skin & mouth care Daily weights
Slide 36-

Water Intoxication Hypotonic extracellular fluid shifts into cells to attempt to restore balance Cells swell Causes: SIADH Rapid infusion of hypotonic solution Excessive tap water NG irrigation or enemas Psychogenic polydipsia

Electrolytes
Slide 40-

Electrolytes Charged particles in solution Cations (+) Anions (-) Integral part of metabolic and cellular processes
Slide 41-

Positive or Negative? Cations (+) Sodium Potassium Calcium Magnesium Anions (-) Chloride Bicarbonate Phosphate Sulfate
Slide 42-

Major Cations EXTRACELLULAR SODIUM (Na+) INTRACELLULAR POTASSIUM (K+)
Slide 43-

Electrolyte Imbalances Hyponatremia/ hypernatremia Hypokalemia/ Hyperkalemia Hypomagnesemia/ Hypermagnesemia Hypocalcemia/ Hypercalcemia Hypophosphatemia/ Hyperphosphatemia Hypochloremia/ Hyperchloremia
Slide 44-

Sodium Major extracellular cation Attracts fluid and helps preserve fluid volume Combines with chloride and bicarbonate to help regulate acid-base balance Normal range of serum sodium 135 - 145 mEq/L
Slide 45-

Sodium and Water If sodium intake suddenly increases, extracellular fluid concentration also rises Increased serum Na+ increases thirst and the release of ADH, which triggers kidneys to retain water Aldosterone also has a function in water and sodium conservation when serum Na+ levels are low
Slide 46-

Sodium-Potassium Pump Sodium (abundant outside cells) tries to get into cells Potassium (abundant inside cells) tries to get out of cells Sodium-potassium pump maintains normal concentrations Pump uses ATP, magnesium and an enzyme to maintain sodium-potassium concentrations Pump prevents cell swelling and creates an electrical charge allowing neuromuscular impulse transmission
Slide 47-

Hyponatremia Serum Na+ level < 135 mEq/L Deficiency in Na+ related to amount of body fluid Several types Dilutional Depletional Hypovolemic Hypervolemic Isovolemic
Slide 48-

Types of Hyponatremia Dilutional - results from Na+ loss, water gain Depletional - insufficient Na+ intake Hypovolemic - Na+ loss is greater than water loss; can be renal (diuretic use) or non-renal (vomiting) Hypervolemic - water gain is greater than Na+ gain; edema occurs Isovolumic - normal Na+ level, too much fluid
Slide 49-

What Do You See? Primarily neurologic symptoms Headache, N/V, muscle twitching, altered mental status, stupor, seizures, coma Hypovolemia - poor skin turgor, tachycardia, decreased BP, orthostatic hypotension Hypervolemia - edema, hypertension, weight gain, bounding tachycardia

Slide 51-

Hypernatremia Excess Na+ relative to body water Occurs less often than hyponatremia Thirst is the body’s main defense When hypernatremia occurs, fluid shifts outside the cells May be caused by water deficit or over-ingestion of Na+ Also may result from diabetes insipidus

Slide 54-

Potassium Major intracellular cation Untreated changes in K+ levels can lead to serious neuromuscular and cardiac problems Normal K+ levels = 3.5 - 5 mEq/L
Slide 55-

Balancing Potassium Most K+ ingested is excreted by the kidneys Three other influential factors in K+ balance : Na+/K+ pump Renal regulation pH level
Slide 56-

Sodium/Potassium Pump Uses ATP to pump potassium into cells Pumps sodium out of cells Creates a balance
Slide 57-

Renal Regulation Increased K+ levels  increased K+ loss in urine Aldosterone secretion causes Na+ reabsorption and K+ excretion
Slide 58-

pH Potassium ions and hydrogen ions exchange freely across cell membranes Acidosis  hyperkalemia (K+ moves out of cells) Alkalosis  hypokalemia (K+ moves into cells)
Slide 59-

Hypokalemia Serum K+ < 3.5 mEq/L Can be caused by GI losses, diarrhea, insufficient intake, non-K+ sparing diuretics (thiazide, furosemide)
Slide 60-

Slide 77-

Calcium 99% in bones, 1% in serum and soft tissue (measured by serum Ca++) Works with phosphorus to form bones and teeth Role in cell membrane permeability Affects cardiac muscle contraction Participates in blood clotting
Slide 78-

Calcium Regulation Affected by body stores of Ca++ and by dietary intake & Vitamin D intake Parathyroid hormone draws Ca++ from bones increasing low serum levels (Parathyroid pulls) With high Ca++ levels, calcitonin is released by the thyroid to inhibit calcium loss from bone (Calcitonin keeps)
Slide 79-

Slide 99-

Acid-Base Balance
Slide 100-

Acid-Base Basics Balance depends on regulation of free hydrogen ions Concentration of hydrogen ions is measured in pH Arterial blood gases are the major diagnostic tool for evaluating acid-base balance
Slide 101-

Arterial Blood Gases pH 7.35 - 7.45 PaCO2 35 - 45 mmHg HCO3 22-26 mEq/L
Slide 102-

Acidosis pH < 7.35 Caused by accumulation of acids or by a loss of bases
Slide 103-

Alkalosis pH > 7.45 Occurs when bases accumulate or acids are lost
Slide 104-

Regulatory Systems Three systems come into play when pH rises or falls Chemical buffers Respiratory system Kidneys
Slide 105-

Chemical Buffers Immediate acting Combine with offending acid or base to neutralize harmful effects until another system takes over Bicarb buffer - mainly responsible for buffering blood and interstitial fluid Phosphate buffer - effective in renal tubules Protein buffers - most plentiful - hemoglobin
Slide 106-

Respiratory System Lungs regulate blood levels of CO2 CO2 + H2O = Carbonic acid High CO2 = slower breathing (hold on to carbonic acid and lower pH) Low CO2 = faster breathing (blow off carbonic acid and raise pH) Twice as effective as chemical buffers, but effects are temporary
Slide 107-

Kidneys Reabsorb or excrete excess acids or bases into urine Produce bicarbonate Adjustments by the kidneys take hours to days to accomplish Bicarbonate levels and pH levels increase or decrease together
Slide 108-

Arterial Blood Gases (ABG) Uses blood from an arterial puncture Three test results relate to acid-base balance pH PaCO2 HCO3
Slide 109-

Interpreting ABGs Step 1 - check the pH Step 2 - What is the CO2? Step 3 - Watch the bicarb Step 4 - Look for compensation Step 5 - What is the PaO2 and SaO2?
Slide 110-

Step 1 - Check the pH pH < 7.35 = acidosis pH > 7.45 = alkalosis Move on to Step 2
Slide 111-

Step 2 - What is the CO2? PaCO2 gives info about the respiratory component of acid-base balance If abnormal, does the change correspond with change in pH? High pH expects low PaCO2 (hypocapnia) Low pH expects high PaCO2 (hypercapnia)
Slide 112-

Step 3 – Watch the Bicarb Provides info regarding metabolic aspect of acid-base balance If pH is high, bicarb expected to be high (metabolic alkalosis) If pH is low, bicarb expected to be low (metabolic acidosis)
Slide 113-

Step 4 – Look for Compensation If a change is seen in BOTH PaCO2 and bicarbonate, the body is trying to compensate Compensation occurs as opposites, (Example: for metabolic acidosis, compensation shows respiratory alkalosis)
Slide 114-

Step 5 – What is the PaO2 and SaO2 PaO2 reflects ability to pickup O2 from lungs SaO2 less than 95% is inadequate oxygenation Low PaO2 indicates hypoxemia
Slide 115-

Acid-Base Imbalances Respiratory Acidosis Respiratory Alkalosis Metabolic Acidosis Metabolic Alkalosis
Slide 116-

Respiratory Acidosis Any compromise in breathing can result in respiratory acidosis Hypoventilation carbon dioxide buildup and drop in pH Can result from neuromuscular trouble, depression of the brain’s respiratory center, lung disease or airway obstruction
Slide 117-

Slide 121-

Respiratory Alkalosis Most commonly results from hyperventilation caused by pain, salicylate poisoning, use of nicotine or aminophylline, hypermetabolic states or acute hypoxia (overstimulates the respiratory center)
Slide 122-

What Do You See? Anxiety, restlessness Diaphoresis Dyspnea ( rate and depth) EKG changes Hyperreflexia, paresthesias Tachycardia Tetany
Slide 123-

Slide 124-

What Do We Do? Correct underlying disorder Oxygen therapy for hypoxemia Sedatives or antianxiety agents Paper bag breathing for hyperventilation
Slide 125-
