Body Fluid Compartments Eliminates waste products from the cells. Two (2) Body Compartments 1. Intracellular Fluid Compartment (65%) Fluid in the cells. About two-thirds of total body water or approximately 25 liters. Found in the skeletal muscle mass. 2. Extracellular Fluid Compartment Fluid outside the cells. Approximately 1/3. Three (3) Division A. Interstitial Fluid Space Contains the fluid that surrounds the cell. 11 to 12 liters in an adult. Lymph is an interstitial fluid. B. Intravascular Fluid Space Fluid within the blood vessels contains plasma, effective CTTO: https://slideplayer.com circulating volume. 3 liters of the average 6 liters of blood volume in adults is made up of plasma. The remaining 3 liters is made up of erythrocytes, leukocytes, and thrombocytes. C. Trans Cellular Fluid Smallest division of the ECF compartment. Contains approximately 1 liter. E.g., cerebrospinal, pericardial, synovial, intraocular, and pleural fluids, sweat, and digestive secretions. Jopar Jose C.

Osmolality Concentration of body fluids that affects the movement of fluid by osmosis. Reflects hydration status. Measured by serum and urine. o Normal serum (plasma and blood): 270 to 300 mOsm/kg or L o Normal urine: 500 to 800 or 400 to 800 mOsm/L or kg Note: The magnitude of this force depends on the number of particles dissolved in the solutions, not on their weights. The number of dissolved particles contained in a unit of fluid determines the osmolality of a solution, which influences the movement of fluid between the fluid compartments.

A general rule is that the output is approximately 1 mL of urine per kilogram of body weight per hour (1 mL/kg/h) in all age groups. Table 7-3: Average Daily Intake and Output of an Adult Category Amount Intake Oral liquids 1,300 ml Water in food 1,000 ml Water produced by 300 ml metabolism Total gain 2,600 ml Output Urine 1,500 ml Stool 100 ml Insensible Lungs 400 ml Skin 600 ml Total loss 2,600 ml 2. Skin Sensible perspiration refers to visible water and electrolyte loss through the skin (sweating). The chief solutes in sweat are sodium, chloride, and potassium. Actual sweat losses can vary from 0 to 1,000 mL or more every hour, depending on factors such as the environmental temperature. Continuous water loss by evaporation (approximately 500 mL/day) occurs through the skin as insensible perspiration, a nonvisible form of water loss (Porth, 2011). Fever greatly increases insensible water loss through the lungs and the skin, as does the loss of the natural skin barrier (e.g., through major burns). 3. Lungs The lungs normally eliminate water vapor (insensible loss) at a rate of approximately 300 mL every day (Porth, 2011). The loss is much greater with increased respiratory rate or depth, or in a dry climate. 4. Gastrointestinal Tract The usual loss through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is 100 to 200 mL daily, even though approximately 8 L of fluid circulates through the GI system every 24 hours. Because the bulk of fluid is normally reabsorbed in the small intestine, diarrhea and fistulas cause large losses. Jopar Jose C.

Vital signs are closely monitored. The nurse observes for weak, rapid pulse and orthostatic hypotension (i.e., a decrease in systolic pressure exceeding 20 mm Hg when the patient moves from a lying to a sitting position) (Weber & Kelley, 2010). A decrease in body temperature often accompanies FVD, unless there is a concurrent infection. Skin and tongue turgor are monitored on a regular basis.
