Questions and CORRECT Answers
Sensible Fluid Loss can be measured and include fluid lost during urination, defecation, and wounds.
Insensible Fluid Loss cannot be measured or seen and include fluid lost from evaporation through the
skin and as water vapor from the lungs during respiration
, 3 Body Regulation of Fluid Intake 1. Hypothalamus (controls thirst)
2. Kidneys (control Na retention & urine output)
3. Metabolic Oxidation (fluid from food breakdown)
Intracellular Fluid Fluid within cells (ICF)
Extracellular Fluid Fluid outside the cells (ECF)
Causes of Third Space Fluid Shift Burns & Sepsis
Third Space Fluid Shift Definition 1. Distributional shift of body fluids into the transcellular compartment, such as the
pleural, peritoneal (ascites), or pericardial areas; joint cavities; the bowel
2. Excess accumulation of fluid in the interstitial space.
3. Deficit of fluid in ECF
4. Fluid trapped in the body
Normal pH 7.35-7.45
Acidosis is the condition characterized by an excess of H ions or loss of base ions
(bicarbonate) in ECF in which the pH falls below 7.35
Alkalosis occurs when there is a lack of H ions or a gain of base (bicarbonate) and the pH
exceeds 7.45.
HCO3- Normal Range 22-26
Acid Range & Basic Range Below 22 Acid
Above 26 Alkalosis
PaCO2 Normal Range 35-45
Acid Range & Basic Range Above 45 Acid
Below 35 Base
Respiratory Acidosis Is a primary excess of carbonic acid in the ECF. It is produced by inadequate
excretion of CO2 with inadequate ventilation, resulting in elevated plasma CO2
and increased levels of carbonic acid.
HIGH PaCO2 DUE TO ALVEOLAR HYPOVENTILATION
Respiratory Alkalosis is a primary deficit of carbonic acid in the ECF. It is the result of alveolar
hyperventilation, breathing that is faster and deeper, and the consequent increase
in the elimination of CO2. This loss of CO2 leads to a decrease in the carbonic
acid level in the plasma and an increase in the pH.
LOW PaCO2 DUE TO ALVEOLAR HYPERVENTILATION
