Answer: fluid outside the cells; includes intravascular and interstitial fluids
20% of body weight
14 L
High sodium chloride and bicarb Includes plasma and interstitial fluid
Question 3.
Interstitial fluid .
Answer: fluid between cells
15% of body
10 L
Contains sodium and chloride
Question 4.
Intravascular fluid (plasma) .
Answer: fluid within blood vessels
5% of body weight
4L
Sodium and protein proteins
Maintains blood pressure and perfusion
Question 5.
Transcellular fluid .
Answer: Less than 1% of body weight
Includes cerebral, spinal fluid, synovial, fluid, and plural fluid Increase in
certain diseases(Effusions)
, Question 6.
Capillary hydrostatic pressure .
Answer: Moves fluid out of capillaries
Pushes fluid into interstitial space
Example: edema in CHF
Question 7.
Capillary oncotic pressure .
Answer: Moves fluid into the capillary
Pull fluid via plasma proteins (albumin)
Loss and liver disease > ascites
Question 8.
Interstitial hydrostatic pressure .
Answer: Moves fluid into the capillary
Opposes fluid movement out
Minimal affect normally
Question 9.
Interstitial oncotic pressure .
Answer: Moves fluid out of capillaries Pulls fluid into tissue if proteins leak
Example: inflammation in increasing permeability
Question 10.
Isotonic fluid .
Answer: Equal sodium in water
No water movement
0.9% NS for Fluid resuscitation
Question 11.
Hypotonic solution .
Answer: Move fluid in to the cell
Causes water to enter cells which causes swelling
0.45% normal saline for dehydration with hypernatremia
Question 12.
Hypertonic solution .
Answer: Moves fluid out of the cell, causing shrinkage of cell
D5/D 10/3% normal saline for severe hyponatremia
