minimum urine output for adult ANS >>> 0.5mL/kg/hr


ADH (antidiuretic hormone) ANS >>> - water retainer
- vasoconstrictor (also called Vasopressin)
- produced by hypothalamus
- store and released from posterior pituitary


ADH pathway ANS >>> - hypothalamus senses low blood volumed and
increased serum osmolality

,- signal pituitary to release ADH


- ADH causes kidney to retain water


- water retention increases blood volume and decreases serum
osmolality


ANP (atrial natriuretic peptide) ANS >>> - cardiac hormone stored in atria
- released when atrial pressure increases


*Works opposite of RAAS by decreasing BP and reducing intravascular
volume


- important diagnostic marker in CHF


hydrostatic pressure ANS >>> - forces fluids and solutes through the
capillary wall and into the tissue spaces


colloid osmotic pressure ANS >>> - pulling force of albumin in the
intravascular spaces


- pull fluid into vasculature

, maintenance fluid therapy ANS >>> - replaces normal ongoing losses of
water and electrolytes (urine, sweat, respiration, stool)


replacement therapy ANS >>> - corrects any existing water and or
electrolyte deficits


isotonic fluids ANS >>> - tonicity equal to plasma in the body
- no fluid shifts because the solutions are equally concentrated


- LR
- NS
- D5W


hypotonic fluids ANS >>> - lower concentration of solutes in the
vasculature than in the cell
- fluid shifts into the cell to dilute the electrolytes (CELL SWELLS)


- 0.45NS


hypertonic fluid ANS >>> - higher concentration of solutes in the
vasculature than in the cell
- pulls fluid out of cells and into the vessels (CELL SHRINKS)
