    Study Notes

    • Decreased Extracellular Fluid Volume (ECF) in infants: sunken eyes, depressed fontanels, dry coated tongue, dry wrinkled skin with lax subcutaneous tissues, collapsed skin veins, hypovolaemia causing tachycardia, orthostatic hypotension, shock, decreased Central Venous Pressure (CVP), and oliguria with no thirst.
    • Clinical picture of increased ECF volume: slight puffiness of the face, total body edema, weight gain, hypertension, ascites.
    • Treatment for decreased ECF volume: pre-operative replacement with normal saline or Ringer's lactate, treatment of the cause, and replacement of observed loss with saline.
    • Hypernatraemia (high sodium level) causes: excessive saline transfusion in the early postoperative period, increased sodium reabsorption due to aldosterone, cortisone, or estrogen, inability to excrete sodium load due to severe illness or starvation, and abnormal renal retention of sodium due to renal, heart, or liver failure.
    • Clinical picture of hypernatraemia: normal or decreased water intake, hyperosmolarity, dehydration, increased urine output, irritability, confusion, and seizures.
    • Treatment for hypernatraemia: diuretics, fluid replacement, and correction of underlying cause.
    • Essential functions of potassium (K+): intracellular cation, excitability of nerve and muscle, and action of the heart.
    • Factors affecting K+ distribution: acid-base balance, insulin, cellular breakdown, and osmolality.
    • Hypokalaemia (low potassium level) causes: decreased intake, vomiting, gastrointestinal fistulas, severe diarrhea, diuretics, alkalosis, and hormones.
    • Hazards of hypokalemia: decreased nerve and muscle excitability, increased risk of supra-ventricular arrhythmias, increased risk of hepatic coma, and polyuria.
    • Clinical picture of hypokalemia: vague symptoms, paralytic ileus, cardiac arrhythmias, muscular paresis, and ECG changes.
    • Management of hypokalemia: estimation of K+ deficit, safe repletion, and monitoring of electrolyte levels.
    • Potassium solutions used: 40 mEq/L K+ in glucose 5% or saline, and Darrow's solution.
    • Causes of hyperkalemia: renal failure, acidosis, and diabetics with reduced insulin secretion.
    • Clinical picture of hyperkalemia: increased cell excitability (muscles and nerves), cardiac arrhythmias, bradycardia, hypotension, and arrest.
    • Treatment for hyperkalemia: calcium gluconate, alkalosis, glucose and insulin infusion, ion exchange resins, and dialysis.
    • Factors affecting blood calcium level: parathormone, calcitonin, vitamin D, and phytic acid.
    • Hypercalcaemia: usually due to a parathyroid tumor, and treatment involves removal of the tumor.
    • Hypocalcaemia: seen in hypoparathyroidism as a complication of thyroidectomy, and after massive blood transfusion containing CPDA, and treatment involves calcium and vitamin D supplements.
    • Magnesium (Mg++): intracellular cation, essential for muscle and nerve function, and electrolyte balance.
    • Magnesium deficiency: occurs in prolonged GI losses, cirrhosis, and prolonged IV therapy, and symptoms include muscle weakness, tremors, and cardiac arrhythmias.
    • Treatment for magnesium deficiency: magnesium supplements and addressing the underlying cause.
