Study Notes
- The majority of the body's fluid is located within cells (intracellular), accounting for approximately 2/3 of total body fluid.
- The remaining fluid is in the extracellular space (1/3).
- Potassium is primarily located inside cells.
- Sodium is the most abundant cation in the extracellular fluid.
- Plasma, the liquid component of blood, makes up the intravascular fluid.
- Interstitial fluid resides in the spaces between cells, outside of blood vessels.
- Transcellular fluids include cerebrospinal, pleural, peritoneal, and synovial fluids.
- Filtration is the process of fluid movement in and out of capillaries, between the vascular and interstitial compartments.
- Kidneys produce bicarbonate.
- Anions include bicarbonate, chloride (Cl-), and phosphate (PO-).
- Cations include sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), calcium (Ca++), and magnesium (Mg++).
- Several factors influence fluid balance, including age, medications, acute or chronic illnesses, surgery, burns, and respiratory disorders.
- Osmolality measures the number of particles per kilogram of water.
- Hyponatremia is dehydration due to loss of sodium.
Mild Hypovolemia
- Weight loss
- Tachycardia, resulting from the body attempting to circulate reduced fluid volume.
- Dark yellow urine
- Dry mucous membranes
- Flat neck veins
- Poor skin turgor
Severe Hypovolemia
- Oliguria (decreased urine output)
