This difference is because men tend to have more muscle mass than women and because women have more body fat. ( muscles cells contain muscle mostly water and fat cells have little water. Excretion of Fluids Measurable= oral fluid thru urine; Parenteral fluids thru emesis; enemas thru feces; irrigation fluids thru drainage from body cavities Excretion of Fluids NOT measurable= solid foods thru perspiration; metabolism thru vaporization thru the lungs Fluid volume and electrolyte balance includes= regulation of body fluids and electrolytes (body fluid body volume, osmolarity, composition = electrolytes, (filtration, diffusion, osmosis and selective secretion EFC extracellular fluid is 1/3 of of total body water -filtration- movement of fluid thru hydrostatic pressure Osmosis- movement of fluid thru seleceltive semipermeable membrane -The min amt of urine output per day needed to excrete toxic waste is 400ml- 600mL if less than this amount of urine is excreted then lethal electrolyte imbalances, acidosis and toxic build of nitrogen occur, Insensible water loss- no mechanism controls (skin, lungs, GI tract) Isotonic= 0.9% saline, 5%dextrose in .2255 SALINE, ringers' lactate Hypotonic- .45% saline, Hypertonic- 10% dextrose in water, 5% dextrose in saline, 5% dextrose in 0.45 saline, Page 245 Potassium K+ cation= 3.5-5.0 (arrythmias) “ comes from any orifices” Most K= Found in meat, fish, some veggies, fruits Lowest K = eggs, bread, cereal grains Typical intake 2/20grams/daily Low mg= Low Potassium Before giving potassium make sure urine output is 30ML / hour High= Hyperkalemia= dehydration, kidney disease, acidosis, adrenal insufficiency, crush injuries Low= Hypokalemia= fluid overload, diuretic therapy.
