Study Notes
Chapter 8: Altered Fluid and Electrolyte Balance
- Electrolytes have specific functions in the body
- Imbalances can occur due to various factors like vomiting, diarrhea, and diuretic use
- Electrolyte imbalances can lead to a variety of conditions
- Fluid movement in and out of cells and tissues is crucial
- Body regulates fluid intake and excretion
- Types of fluids include isotonic, hypertonic, and hypotonic
- Fluid imbalances can manifest as hypovolemia, hemorrhage, dehydration, and hypervolemia (edema)
Chapter 9: Altered Acid-Base Balance
- Maintaining a specific pH is essential for cellular function
- Alterations in pH impact cell and tissue function, impacting bodily functions
- Body uses buffer systems to regulate pH
- Models of acid-base imbalance include metabolic acidosis
Chapter 15: Altered Ventilation and Diffusion
- Ventilation and diffusion are critical for gas exchange
- Ventilation involves breathing in and out
- Diffusion involves gas movement across membranes
- Impaired ventilation and diffusion lead to conditions like hypoxemia, hypoxia, and hypercapnia
- Treating these issues involves correcting underlying problems
Chapter 16: Altered Perfusion
- Perfusion is the delivery of blood to tissues
- A pathway starts from ventilation and leads to perfusion
- The circulatory system is involved in this process
- Examples include pulmonary and systemic pathways
- Important conditions associated with altered perfusion include conditions like COPD, asthma, cystic fibrosis, hypertension, stroke, myocardial infarction, and heart failure.
