OSMOLALITY

AMOUNT OF PARTICLES WITHIN A FLUID CONTRIBUTING TO A FLUID'S CONCENTRATION


- HIGH OSMOLALITY: HYPERTONIC SOLUTION
- BALANCED OSMOLALITY: ISOTONIC SOLUTION
- LOW OSMOLALITY: HYPOTONIC SOLUTION

HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE

A FORCE PRESSING OUTWARD AGAINST A SURFACE

OSMOTIC PRESSURE

AN INWARD PULLING PRESSURE TOWARDS A HIGHER CONCENTRATION

DIFFUSION

PASSIVE MOVEMENT OF PARTICLES DOWN A CONCENTRATION GRADIENT

ACTIVE TRANSPORT

USING ENERGY TO MOVE ELECTROLYTES ACROSS CELL MEMBRANE

FLUID MOVES TO THE CELL IN THE FOLLOWING ORDER:

, 1. VASCULAR SYSTEM
2. CAPILLARY MEMBRANE
3. INTERSTITIAL AREA
4. CELL MEMBRANE

OSMOLALITY IMBALANCE

THE BLOOD IS TOO CONCENTRATED/DILUTE

LABS TO MEASURE OSMOLALITY

OSMOLALITY SPECIFIC- MOST ACCURATE!!


URINE SPECIFIC GRAVITY-


HGB & HCT- THE HIGHER THE HCT, THE HIGHER THE OSMOLALITY


SODIUM LEVELS- WATER FOLLOWS SALT!! IF SODIUM IS ELEVATED, THEN OSMOLALITY IS
ELEVATED

TYPES OF IV FLUIDS

HYPERTONIC SOLUTION

- CONCENTRATED AND USUALLY GIVEN WHEN BLOOD OSMOLALITY IS LOW
- COMBINATION OF DEXTROSE & SALINE TOGETHER W/ WATER MAKES THESE FLUIDS
HYPERTONIC
- HELP DRAW FLUID BACK INTO THE VASCULAR SPACE= DECREASING EDEMA
- LOW BLOOD OSMOLALITY + HYPERTONIC FLUID = ISOTONIC BLOOD


- D5 NACL
- D5 LR
- D5 0.45% NACL
