Fluid and electrolyte
- 1. Fluid and Electrolyte Imbalances
- 2. Objectives Define Key Terms associated with Fluids and Electrolytes Describe the Assessment for Fluid and Electrolytes Imbalances Discuss the Nursing Interventions in Maintaining Fluid and Electrolyte Homeostasis
- 3. Homeostasis 60% of body consists of fluid Intracellular space Extracellular space Electrolytes -active ions: Cation positive Anion negative
- 4. Regulation of Body Fluid Compartments Osmosis is diffusion of water caused by fluid gradient. Diffusion is movement of a substance from area of higher concentration to one of lower concentration. Active Transport is movement of substance across permeable membrane and gradient; requires energy and pump. E.g. Sodium/potassium pump
- 5. Active Transport Osmosis
- 6. Regulation of Body Fluid Compartments (cont’d) Filtration - the movement of water and solutes from an area of high hydrostatic pressure to an area of low hydrostatic pressure Osmolality - reflects the concentration of fluid that affects the movement of water between fluid compartments by osmosis Osmotic pressure - the amount of hydrostatic pressure required to stop the flow of water by osmosis
- 8. Osmolarity Isotonic – same solute concentration, equal, no movement across membrane Hypertonic/hyper-osmotic – greater concentration osmotic pressure water pulled into fluid to equalize Hypotonic/hypo-osmotic – lesser concentration osmotic pressure water pulled out of fluid to equalize
- 9. Dehydration Fluid Overload
- 11. Gains and Losses of fluid Gain Loss Solid foods water and electrolytes Drinks move in a variety of Thirst center Ways - sensible and Insensible. Kidneys Skin Lungs GI tract
- 12. Fluid Imbalances Fluid Deficit Fluid Excess Isotonic – fluid and Isotonic – Only ECF is electrolytes loss equally; expanded decline in circulating blood Hypertonic – excessive volume Na+ intake; fluid shifts from Hypertonic – fluid loss ICF to ECF exceeds loss of electrolytes Hypotonic – water Hypotonic – electrolytes intoxication; life threatening; loss exceeds loss of water fluid moves in ICF and all compartment expands
- 13. Developmental Considerations Elderly Skin - elasticity impaired 45% to 50% of body weight in older adults is water, loss of muscle mass and reduced ratio of lean to total body weight Sites for skin turgor: Forehead, Sternum, Abdomen Renal - decrease filtration, water loss, poor excretion Muscular – higher risk of dehydration, decrease fluid intake Neuro - diminished reflexes such as thirst centre decreased fluid, leading to dehydration Endocrine - atrophy of muscle adrenal, poor Na, K regulation, prone to hyponatraemia and hyperkalaemia

Notes de l'éditeur
- Homeostasis – a tendency of biological systems to maintain stability while continually adjusting to conditions that are optimal for survival.
- Osmosisis diffusion of water caused by fluid gradient.Diffusionis movement of a substance from area of higher concentration to one of lower concentration.Active Transport is movement of substance across permeable membrane and gradient; requires energy and pump. E.g. Sodium/potassium pump
- Sodium-Potassium PumpSodium concentration is higher in ECF than ICFSodium enters cell by diffusionPotassium exits cell into ECF
- Filtration- the movement of water and solutes from an area of high hydrostatic pressure to an area of low hydrostatic pressureOsmolality - reflects the concentration of fluid that affects the movement of water between fluid compartments by osmosisOsmotic pressure - the amount of hydrostatic pressure required to stop the flow of water by osmosis
- Isotonic– same solute concentration, equal, no movement across membraneHypertonic/hyper-osmotic– greater concentration osmotic pressure water pulled intofluid to equalizeHypotonic/hypo-osmotic– lesser concentration osmotic pressure water pulled outof fluid to equalize
- Gain - solid foods, Drinks, thirst centerLoss - water and electrolytesmove in a variety ofWays - sensible andInsensible.KidneysSkinLungsGI tract
- Fluid DeficitIsotonic – fluid and electrolytes loss equally; decline in circulating blood volumeHypertonic – fluid loss exceeds loss of electrolytesHypotonic – electrolytes loss exceeds loss of waterFluid ExcessIsotonic – Only ECF is expandedHypertonic – excessive Na+ intake; fluid shifts from ICF to ECFHypotonic – water intoxication; life threatening; fluid moves in ICF and all compartment expands
- Skin – elasticity; Renal – decrease filtration; increase water loss; poor excretion of waste products;Muscle mass – lean – greater risk of dehydration and decrease fluid intake;Neuro – diminished reflexes such as the thirst center; decrease fluid, risk of dehydration;Endocrine – atrophy of muscle and adrenal; regulation of Na and K poor; prone to hyponatraemia and hyperkalaemia

- Hypo and Hypermagnesaemia (Mg+)Hypo and Hyperphosphataemia (Phos+)Hypo and Hyperchloraemia (Cl-)
- Excessive – Hyper electrolytes; Antagonist – medication to block absorption, or binders to electrolytes that excrete the excess electrolytes via renal or GI system; last resort is dialysis.Complications – heart rate, dysrhythmias, ECG, Vital Signs
- Assess mental status, cardiovascular, Neuromuscular, GI; Vital signs, weights, I &O if fluid excess or loss and needs monitoring.GI distress – increase motility, nausea, diarrhea, and abdominal cramping; bowel sounds hyperactive; bowels watery and frequent; Hyponatraemia with hypovolaemia – rapid weak, thready pulse, neck veins flat, severe hypotension (diastolic down); Hypervolaemia – Blood pressure normal or high; pulses difficult to palpate if edema.In hypernatraemia – irritability – overexcited tissues; mental status – seizures, memory impaired and possible attention span delay, lethargic, drowsy. Cardiovascular – If hypovolaemia – faint peripheral pulses, hypotension, orthostatic hypertension, pulse pressure is reduced.Diuretics if excess fluids,
- K+ - cause major cell excitability, in particular nerve and muscle, and cellular processes; increase cell uptake of K+(hypo K+) in metabolic alkalosis and insulin use. GI – decreased peristalsis, constipation, abdominal distention- paralytic ileus;Mental status – loss problem solving ability;EKG – ST- segment depressed, T wave flat or inverted and increase U wave; dysrhythmias can be fatal.IV K+ - severely irritating to tissues – never given SQ or IM, and given in 1 liter; Oral potassium – liquid, unpleasant taste. But with protocol and frequent lab monitoring, it does well to raise K+ levels.In treatment – for constipation – fiber, fluids; asses for respiratory distress – hypoxemia ( decrease blood oxygen levels or hypercapnia – increase CO2 levels)K sparing diuretics, foods high in K+; Older adults at risk due to meds, mental status, physiological changes.Hyperkalaemia – Tall, peak T waves, prolong PR intervals, flat or absent P waves and wide QRS’ high K+ levels – complete heart block, asystole and ventricular fibrillation; paresthesia – tingling numbness in hands and feet and around mouth; treat with sodium polystyrene sulfonate
- Hypocalcaemia - seizuresHypocalcaemia – excitable tissues – heart, muscles, nerves, and intestinal smooth muscles. Blood-clotting requires calcium in excessive calcium may have increase clotting especially if viscosity of blood.EKG – changes in T wave and QT intervalsCalcium binders – to lower serum calcium levels – drugs that interfere with calcium uptake – NSAID, ( calcium inhibitor - reabsorption to bones).
- Trousseau’s sign – Carpal spasm can be extracted by compressing the upper arm causing ischaemia to the nerves distallyHoman’s sign – Pain obtained in the calf when the foot is dorsiflexed, symptomatic of venous thrombosisChvosteck’s sign – a spasm of the facial muscles which occurs in tetany.
- Isotonic - Lactated Ringers Solution or Normal SalineHypotonic - .45% NaClHypertonic – 5 or 10% Dextrose ( concentration)Common complication or problem with IV fluids – infectionLocal complications – Infiltration and extravasations – escape of fluid from its normal course into surrounding tissues. Phlebitis inflammation of vein; Thrombophlebitis – inflammation with blood clot. HaematomaAir embolism – another complication – dyspnoea, cyanosis, weak, hypotension, unresponsiveness. Omit starting IV and peripheral and central and midline catheters
