 Clear, colorless liquid formed within the cavities of
brain and around spinal cord
 %500ml CSF is formed everyday

day.
Functions of CSF
 Hydrolic shock absorber
 Regulation of intracranial pressure
 Influences the hunger sensation and eating
behaviours
Amniotic Fluid
 Liquid produced by membranes and fetus
 Volume of fluid increases with gestational age
 Clear with some desquamated fetal cell and a
little lipid.
Functions of AF
 Physical protection to the fetus
 Medium for exchange of various chemical
Aqueous Humor
 Fluid that fills the interior chamber of eye
 Secreted by ciliary body, enters anterior
chamber
 Blockade in the flow of aqueous humor
causes glaucoma due to increased
intraocular pressure.
 Posterior chamber of eye is filled with
vitrous humor which contains a gel
(vitrous body of hyaluronic acid secreted
by retina)

fluid is about 25m osm hypertonic
Copius – Rapid tear flow induction
Tears
 pH – 7 to 7.6 due to loss of CO2
 Protein content is 0.6 to 0.18g/dl with an
albumin/globulin ratio of 1:5 or 2:1

organisms by breaking down the polysaccharides
of their outer layer
Functions of Tears
 Lysozyme protects eye from infectious agents
 Lubricate the surface of the cornea
 Fill the irregularities of the corneal surface to
improve optical properties
 Protects eyes from injury
FLUID AND ELECTROLYTE
IMBALANCE:
 Any abnormality in the concentration of fluid and
electrolytes in the body leads to fluid-electrolyte
imbalances.
 FLUID IMBALANCE: Deficient volume leads to-
Hypovolemia & Dehydration Conditions: fever,
sweating, burns, tachypnea, surgical drains,
polyuria, or ongoing significant gastrointestinal
loses.
 Excess fluid volume leads to -
Hypervolemia & Intoxication
Conditions: heart failure,
specifically of the right ventricle,
cirrhosis, often caused by excess
alcohol consumption or hepatitis.
kidney failure, often caused by
diabetes and other
metabolic disorders.
ELECTROLYTE IMBALANCES:.
 Electrolytes are salts, acids, and bases, but
electrolyte balance usually refers only to salt
balance Salts are important for: - Essential
minerals Controls osmosis between fluid
compartments
- Help maintain acid-base balance
- Carry electrical (ionic) current for action potentials.
ELECTROLYTES :
 The electrolytes in human bodies include: sodium,
potassium, calcium, bicarbonate, magnesium,
chloride, phosphate.
 The level of an electrolyte in the blood can become
too high or too low, leading to an imbalance.
 Electrolyte levels can change in relation to water
levels in the body as well as other factors. Important
electrolytes are lost in sweat during exercise,
including sodium and potassium.
 The concentration can also be affected by rapid
loss of fluids, such as after a bout of diarrhea or
vomiting. Some other causes include kidney
diseases, congestive heart failure, Chemotherapy,
poor diet, sever dehydration, some drugs
such as diuretics.
NORMAL RANGE OF
ELECTROLYTES :
 The normal range for :
1. Sodium 135 to 145 mmol/L
2. . Potassium 3.7 to 5.2 mmol/L
3. . Calcium 8.5 to 10.6 mg/dl
4. . Magnesium 1.7 to 2.2 mg/dl
5. . Phosphate 0.81 to 1.45 mmol/L
6. . Chloride 97 to 107 mmol/L
1. SODIUM: -
 Sodium holds a central position in fluid and electrolyte balance.
Sodium is the single most abundant +cation in the ECF Accounts
for 90-95% of all solutes in the ECF. Contribute 280 mOsm of the
total 300 mOsm ECF solute concentration.
- The role of sodium in controlling ECF volume and water distribution
in the body is a result of:
 Sodium being the only cation to exert significant osmotic pressure.
 Sodium ions leaking into cells and being pumped out against their
electrochemical gradient.
 Sodium concentration in the ECF normally remains stable Rate of
sodium uptake across digestive tract directly proportional to
dietary intake.
 Sodium losses occur through urine and perspiration. Changes in
plasma sodium levels affect: Plasma volume, blood pressure ICF
and interstitial fluid volume
 Large variations in sodium are corrected by
homeostatic mechanisms.
- If sodium levels are too low, it is termed as
HYPONATREMIA.
In this, antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and aldosterone
are secreted.
- Regulation of Sodium Balance by ADH :-
Regulation of Sodium Balance:
Aldosterone: A decrease in Na+ levels in the plasma stimulates
aldosterone release.
 The kidneys detect the decrease in Na+ levels and cause a
series of reactions referred to as the renin-angiotensin-
aldosterone mechanisms.
This is mediated by the juxtaglomerular apparatus, which
releases renin in response to:
- Sympathetic nervous system stimulation. Decreased filtrate
osmolality.
-Decreased stretch (due to decreased blood pressure) Sodium
reabsorption 65% of sodium in filtrate is reabsorbed in the
proximal tubules
--25% is reclaimed in the loops of Henle When aldosterone levels
are high, all remaining Na+ is actively reabsorbed. Water follows
sodium if tubule permeability has been increased with ADH.
Regulation of Sodium
Balance:
 Aldosterone
 If sodium levels are too high, it is termed as
HYPERNATREMIA.
In this, atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is secreted.
ATRIAL NATRIURETIC PEPTIDE (ANP):
Is released in the
heart atria as a response to stretch (elevated blood
pressure), It has potent diuretic and natriuretic
effects It promotes excretion of sodium and water,
inhibits angiotensin II production.
2. POTASSIUM :
Conti…
•Hypokalemia (low K )
⁺
•↓ Extracellular K → ↑ gradient →
⁺ hyperpolarization (becomes even
more negative than normal)→ cells are
less responsive
•Reduced Na /K -ATPase activity → delayed repolarization ((K ) ions

flow out of the cell) →
disturbed cardiac conduction, risk of arrhythmias & sudden death
•Hyperkalemia (high K )
⁺
•↑ Extracellular K → ↓ gradient →
⁺ depolarization (more positive)
because sodium (Na ) ions go in) → initial excitability
⁺
Followed by Na channel inactivation → conduction slows or
⁺‑
blocks Leads to ECG changes
(peaked T waves → widened QRS → sine-wave) → fatal arrhythmias,
‑
possible sudden death
•Acid–Base & K Shifts
⁺
•↑ H (acidosis) → H enters cells → K exits → extracellular
⁺ ⁺ ⁺
hyperkalemia
•↓ H (alkalosis) → opposite effect
⁺
•These shifts disrupt excitable cell function
3. CALCIUM :
Ca. continue…
Conti…
 Calcium reabsorption and phosphate excretion
go simultaneously:
 Filtered phosphate is actively reabsorbed in the
proximal tubules. In the absence of PTH,
phosphate reabsorption is regulated by its
transport maximum and excesses are excreted in
urine. High or normal ECF calcium levels inhibit PTH
secretion. - Release of calcium from bone is
inhibited. - Larger amounts of calcium are lost in
feces and urine. - More phosphate is retained.
4. PHOSPHATE :
•Phosphate is an electrolyte containing the mineral
phosphorus essential for:
 strengthens bones and Teeth
supports cell membranes
vital for energy production (ATP)
• In excess, phosphate can cause bone and muscle
issues and raise the risk of heart attack and stroke
•High phosphate levels often indicate kidney damage,
especially in chronic kidney disease (CKD) It is common
in individuals with CKD, particularly those with end-
stage kidney disease

    Intraoperative Fluid Therapy – Goals Maintainhemodynamic stability Replace fluid losses (insensible, third-space, blood loss) Ensure adequate urine output
  • 75.
    Intraoperative Fluids & Replacement Fluids: Crystalloids (Ringer’s Lactate, NS)  Colloids (Albumin, Hydroxyethyl starch)  Blood products (if significant loss) Replacement guide:  Maintenance: 1–1.5 mL/kg/hr  Third-space: 2–4 mL/kg/hr  Blood loss: 3:1 rule for crystalloids, 1:1 for colloids/blood
  • 76.
    Intraoperative Monitoring  Vitalsigns (BP, HR)  Urine output (>0.5 mL/kg/hr)  CVP / Arterial line (for high-risk patients)
  • 77.
    Postoperative Fluid Therapy – Goals Maintainfluid/electrolyte balance Replace ongoing losses (e.g., drains, vomiting) Prevent overload/dehydration Management Continue IV fluids if NPO Transition to oral as tolerated Monitor: weight, I/O, serum electrolytes, clinical status

    Phase Goals FluidsKey Monitoring Pre-op Correct deficits NS, RL Labs, vitals, hydration status Intra-op Maintain perfusion, replace loss Crystalloids, colloids, blood BP, HR, UO, advanced monitors Post-op Maintain balance, support recovery Maintenance IV or oral fluids I/O, weight, labs, clinical signs

Editor's Notes

  • #50 Inhibition of angiotensin II production:help blood pressure by reducing vasoconstriction and aldosterone release.
  • #52 Depolarization is the first part of the action potential. It happens when the inside of the cell becomes less negative (more positive) because sodium (Na⁺) ions rush in. Repolarization is the process of the cell returning to its normal negative state after depolarization. This happens when potassium (K⁺) ions flow out of the cell.
