Water content varieswith age & tissue type
Fat has the lowest water content (~20%).
Bone is close behind (~22 – 25%).
Skeletal muscle is highest at ~65%.
5.
Fluid Compartments
• ECF(extra cellular fluid) and ICF
(intracellular fluid) are called fluid
compartments:
– because they behave as distinct entities
– are separated by cell membranes and active
transport
6.
Water Composition
• Is60% percent of male body weight
• Is 50% percent of female body weight
• Mostly in intracellular fluid
7.
Water Exchange
• Waterexchange between ICF(2/3) and
ECF(1/3) occurs across cell membranes
by:
– osmosis
– diffusion
– carrier-mediated transport
8.
Major Subdivisions ofECF
• Interstitial fluid of peripheral tissues(2/3)
• Plasma of circulating blood(1/3)
Regulation of waterbalance
• It is not so much water that is regulated, but
solutes.
• osmolality is maintained at between 280 – 300
mOsm.
12.
Sodium
• Is thedominant cation in ECF
• Sodium salts provide 90% of ECF osmotic
concentration (97% with other related
anions)
• Need: 1-3meq/kg/day
13.
renin–angiotensin system
• 1-Decreasein intravascular volume
• 2-Decrease in renal arterial flow
• 3-renin secretion (juxtaglomerular)
• 4-angiotensin to angiotensin I
• 5-angiotensin I to II (in lungs by ACE)
• 6-aldosterone secretion (adrenal cortex)
• 7-↑reabsorption of Na and water, ↓K and H
• 8-↑ECF
14.
Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH)or
vasopressin
• Stimulates water conservation at kidneys:
– reducing urinary water loss
– concentrating urine
• Stimulates thirst center:
– promoting fluid intake
15.
Potassium
• Is thedominant cation in ICF
• Need: 0.5-1meq/kg/day
• 95% excreted in urine and 5% in feces
FLUIDS AND ELECTROLYTES
INTHE PERIOPERATIVE
PERIOD
• Maintenance (D.W5% 1/2N.S +20meq
KCl) (4:2:1 rule)
• Replacement of ongoing loss (same fluid)
18.
• Fluid, electrolyte,and acid–base imbalances
must be identified and treated promptly in
acutely ill patients
• Third spacing
• Loss: ↓hemodynamic - ↓out(0.5cc/kg/h) –
lab(↑ hct- bun/cr20- feNa20)
• Isotonic crystalloides
• Monitor by hemodynamics, output and IVC
sono
Volume excess
• fluidor sodium restriction
• diuresis along with a replacement of
potassium losses
• In vascular volume deficit careful
replacement with crystalloid or blood
products may be needed
26.
Hyponatremia
• Low, highor normal ECF
• Dilutional
• Artificial (high TG or Glucose)
• Necrotizing soft tissue infections
Treatment
• Water restriction
•Stop thiazide
• In chronic max:12 meq/l/d (central
pontine myelinolysis)
• Water and Na restriction in high ECF
• Isotonic in low ECF
• Hypertonic in severe symptoms
Hypernatremia
• loss ofwater alone (hypothalamic abnormalities,
nonreplaced insensible losses)
• loss of water and salt together (gastrointestinal losses,
osmotic diuresis, excessive diuretic use, central or
nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, burns, excessive
sweating)
• increased total body sodium without any water loss
(Cushing’s syndrome, hyperaldosteronism,
ectopic production of ACTH, iatrogenic sodium
administration, ingestion of seawater)
31.
Hypernatremia
• symptoms ofdehydration
• neuromuscular and neurologic disorders
(twitching, restlessness, weakness,
delirium, coma, seizures, and death)
• Intracranial hemorrhage is a common
postmortem finding in patients who die of
hypernatremia.
32.
Treatment
• Water (poor D.W5%)
• Half replacement in 12-24h with
monitoring
• Fast replacement results in brain
edema
33.
Potassium
• 98% ofpotassium in the human body is in
ICF
• Cells expend energy to recover potassium
ions diffused from cytoplasm into ECF
symptoms
<3 meq/L

paresthesias, paralysis, rhabdomyolysis.
Deep-tendon reflexes may be diminished or
absent.

37.
Treatment

Treatment
• Recheck
• Inmild(<6) restrict potassium intake,
eliminate causes (potassium-sparing
diuretics) and treat fluid volume or acid–
