Study Notes
Fluid Volume Excess
- Possible Causes: Renal failure (AKI, CKD, ESRD), heart failure (CHF), IV fluids (too much or too fast)
- Priority Assessments: Edema (peripheral, pulmonary), crackles, labored SOB, VS - RR increased, BP (could be increased), HR increased, bounding pulse, JVD, I&Os, daily weight.
- Priority Interventions: TED hose, elevate legs, elevate HOB, fluid restriction, Na restriction.
- Priority Labs: BMP
- Priority Medications/Treatments: Diuretics (furosemide), dialysis
- Potential/Actual Complications: Pneumonia, acute respiratory failure, cardiac arrest, skin integrity
- Priority Goals: Clear lung sounds, decreased SOB, respiratory status within normal limits (WNL), decreased edema, electrolytes WNL, daily weight at baseline.
Fluid Volume Deficit
- Possible Causes: Decreased PO intake, excessive GI loss (N/V/D, GI suction), extreme environmental temps (or fever), burns, wounds, medications (diuretics, improper med use, laxatives).
- Note : PO - per oral
Fluid Volume Deficit - Assessments
- Priority Assessments: VS: BP (low), HR (high, weak pulse), RR (may increase), temp (issues with regulation), orthostatic BP, dizziness, poor skin turgor, dry mucus membranes, I&Os (decreased urine output).
Fluid Volume Deficit - Interventions
- Priority Interventions: Encourage PO intake
Fluid Volume Deficit - Labs
- Priority Labs: BMP (BUN, creatinine), CBC (Hgb, Hct).
Fluid Volume Deficit - Medications/treatments
- Priority Medications/Treatments: IV fluids, PRBCs (or blood products).
Fluid Volume Deficit - Goals
- Priority Goals: VS WNL (blood pressure), urine output >30 mL/hr, COCA WNL.
Fluid Volume Deficit - Complications
- Potential/Actual Complications: Hypovolemic shock, leading to cardiac arrest.
