FCCN level 1 Exam


Terms in this set (127)

minimum urine output for adult 0.5mL/kg/hr

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

- hypothalamus senses low blood volumed and increased serum osmolality


- signal pituitary to release ADH
ADH pathway
- ADH causes kidney to retain water


- water retention increases blood volume and decreases serum osmolality

- cardiac hormone stored in atria
- released when atrial pressure increases

ANP (atrial natriuretic peptide)
*works opposite of RAAS by decreasing BP and reducing intravascular volume


- important diagnostic marker in CHF

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

- pulling force of albumin in the intravascular spaces
colloid osmotic pressure
- pull fluid into vasculature

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

replacement therapy - corrects any existing water and or electrolyte deficits

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

isotonic fluids
- LR
- NS

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

- 0.45NS

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


hypertonic fluid - D5 .45NS
- D5NS
- D5LR
- 3%, 7%, 23.4% NaCl

- pull fluid into bloodstream


colloids Albumin
- 5% is osmotically equal to plasma
- 25% draws 4 times the normal volume into the circulation

- not a risk free fluid replacement
blood
- this is liquid transplant

- fluid is not lost from the body but the fluid is not available for use in the
intracellular or extracellular compartments (fluid is in between tissues/cells)

third spacing
- this patient is intravascularly dry and still needs more fluid


-

can you give platelets through the ranger - no it will aggreggate the platelets

- less than 135 -145


- weakness
hyponatremia - abdominal cramping/leg cramps
- dizzy
- change in LOC
- seizures

- hypovolemic (give IV fluid)


different ways to treat hyponatremia - euvolemic (fluid restriction)


- hypervolemic (diuretic)

- EMERGENCY
- below 115
- give hypertonic saline if patient is symptomatic
severe hyponatremia
- in ICU setting


infused slowly in small amounts. be prepared to handle seizures

- prolonged QT
- ST depression

hypokalemia ECG changes
U WAVE is hallmark sign


if you see a U wave then YOU need K+
