Answers
Intracellular fluid amount

2/3 body fluid or 40%

Where is most intracellular fluid

skeletal muscle mass

Extracellular fluid amount

1/3 body fluids or 20%

Three places of extracellular fluid

intravascular, interstitial, transcellular

ECF: intravascular location

blood vessels

ECF: intravascular components

plasma, blood, WBC, platelets

ECF: intravascular plasma amount (L)

3.5L

ECF: intravascular WBC, RBC, platelet amount (L)

2.5L

ECF: interstitial location

space between cells, tissues, organs, blood vessels

, ECF: interstitial fluid amount (L)

10L

ECF: interstitial fluid and fluid balance

does not effect fluid balance, it is a reserve tank of fluids

ECF: interstitial fluid and aging

volume decreases with age which means the reserve fluid is taken from intracellular and can

shrink cells

ECF: transcelllar fluid location

fluid that sits in weird places like joints, eyes, CSF

ECF: where fluid is pulled from during dehydration/FVD

intravascular first then interstitial then intracellular

What ECF compartment will lose fluids first?

Intravascular (bleeding, vomiting, diarrhea)

Third spacing fluid shift

fluid shifts from intravascular/intracellular to interstitial, internally dehydrated but appears

swollen

Third spacing s/s

decreased UO, increased HR, decreased BP, decreased CVP, edema, increased weight,

imbalanced I/os

normal CVP
