Study Notes
Fluids, Electrolytes, and Blood Therapy
Osmolality and Water Transport
- Serum osmolality is primarily determined by sodium concentration
- Sodium concentration regulates water transport
Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System
- Juxtaglomerular cells of the kidney release renin in response to hypotension
- Angiotensin I is converted to angiotensin II in the lungs
- Angiotensin II stimulates vasoconstriction
- Aldosterone stimulates renal tubular reabsorption of sodium and water
- Angiotensin II increases heart rate
ADH and Fluid Homeostasis
- ADH (antidiuretic hormone) increases urine osmolality and regulates water balance
- ADH release is triggered by an increase in serum osmolality or a decrease in blood volume
- Endothelial glycocalyx plays an essential role in maintaining normal fluid homeostasis
Fluid Solutions
- Normal saline (0.9% sodium chloride) is a crystalloid solution
- Lactated Ringers is a crystalloid solution that contains calcium and is contraindicated with citrated infusion products
- Hydroxyethyl starches are colloids that can cause nephrotoxicity and are contraindicated in patients with pre-existing renal injury
- Albumin is a colloid that can be used as a volume expander
Electrolytes and Hormones
- Sodium is the primary cation in the extracellular fluid
- Potassium is the primary cation in the intracellular fluid
- Chloride is the primary anion in the extracellular fluid
- Aldosterone regulates sodium balance
- ANP (atrial natriuretic peptide) stimulates the removal of sodium and water from the body
- Cortisol stimulates protein catabolism, increases metabolic rate, and stimulates renal excretion of potassium
Fluid Therapy
- Crystalloids are used to manage dehydration and can cause hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis
- Colloids are used as volume expanders and can cause nephrotoxicity
- Normal saline can cause hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis due to its high concentration of chloride
- Lactated Ringers can cause hyponatremia and hypocalcemia
- Hydroxyethyl starches are contraindicated in patients with sepsis due to the risk of renal injury and increased mortality
