Theory part
Intravenous fluids
IV fluid is the giving of fluid and
substances directly into a vein.
Human Body has fluid and substances
Substances that may be
infused intravenously
 volume expanders (crystalloids and
colloids)
 blood-based products (whole blood, fresh
frozen plasma, cryoprecipitate)
 blood substitutes,
 medications.
Physiological applications
First part is fluid
We are
approximately two-
thirds water
General information
Total body water is 60% of body weight
Influenced by age,sex and lean body
mass
Older age and female sex is less precent
To calculate TBW needed:
Male sex TBW= BW× 0.6
Female sex TBW= BW × 0.5
Body fluid compartments:
Intracellular volume
(40%) rich in water
Extra cellular volume
(20%) rich in water
15% constitute interstitial space and
5% the intravascular space.

WHAT IS THE AMOUNT?
 In adults remember IVF rate = wt (kg) + 40.
 70 + 40 = 110cc/hr
 Assumes no significant renal or cardiac disease and NPO.
 This is the maintenance IVF rate, it must be adjusted for any dehydration
or ongoing fluid loss.
 Conversely, if the pt is taking some PO, the IVF rate must be decreased
accordingly.
 Daily lytes, BUN ,Cr, I/O, and if possible, weight should
 be monitored in patients receiving significant IVF.
Sodium requirement
 Na: 1-3 meq/kg/day
 70 kg male requires 70-210 meq NaCl in 2600 cc fluid per day.
 0.45% saline contains 77 meq NaCl per liter.
 2.6 x 77 = 200 meq
 Thus, 0.45% saline is usually used as MIVF assuming no other
volume or electrolyte issues.
Potassium requirment
 Potassium: 1 meq/kg/day
 K can be added to IV fluids. Remember this increases osm load.
 20 meq/L is a common IVF additive.
 This will supply basal needs in most pts who are NPO.
 If significantly hypokalemia, order separate K supplementation.
 Oral potassium supplementation is always preferred when
feasible.
 Should not be administered at rate greater than
10-20 mmol/hr
Calculation of osmolality
Difficult: measure & add all active
osmoles
Easy = [ sodium x 2 ] + urea + glucose
Normal = 280 - 290 mosm / kg
Third part is medicine
Iv fluids
IV fluid forms: ?????
 Colloids
 Crystalloids
Iv Fluids
Colloid solutions
Containing water and large proteins and
molecules
tend to stay within the vascular space
Crystalloid solutions
containing water and electrolytes.
Colloid solutions
- IV fluids containing large proteins and
molecules
- tend to stay within the vascular space and
increase intravascular pressure
-very expensive
- Examples: Dextran, hetastarch, albumin…
Crystalloid solutions
Contain electrolytes (e.g.,sodium, potassium,
calcium, chloride)

CASE FOR PRACTICE
 FLUID 35/KG/DAY,
Na: 1-3 meq/kg/day.,
K: 1 meq/kg/day
 70 kg male requires 2450 cc fluid per day, 70-210 meq Na
 0.45% saline contains 77 meq NaCl per liter.
 2.6 x 77 = 200 meq
 Thus, 0.45% saline is usually used as MIVF assuming no other
volume or electrolyte issues.
Terminologies:
 A solvent is the liquid where particles dissolves in (e.g. Water) that can be measured in liters and
milliliters
 Solutes are the dissolving particles
 A molecule is the smallest unit with chemical identity (e.g. Water consist of one oxygen and two
hydrogen atoms = water molecule)
 Ions are dissociated molecule into parts that have electrical charges ( e.g. NaCl dissociates into Na+ and Cl-)
 Cations are positively charged ions (e.g. Na+) due to loss of an electron (e-) and anions are
negatively charged ions (e.g. Cl-) due to gain of an electrone (e-)
 Electrolytes are interacting cations and anions (e.g. H+ + Cl- = HCL [hydrochloric acid])
 A univalent ion has one electrical charge (e.g. Na+). A divalent ion has two electrical charges (e.g.
Ca++)
 Molecular weight is the sum of atomic weights of different parts of a molecule (e.g. H+ [2
atoms] + O2 [16 atoms] = H2O [18 atoms])
 A mole is a measuring unit of the weight of each substance` in grams (e.g. 1 mole of Na+ = 23 grams, 1
mole of Cl- = 35 grams, 1 mole of NaCl = 58 grams). It can be expressed in moles/L, millimoles x 10-3/L,
micromoles x 10-6/L of the solvent.

 Equivalence refers to the ionic weight of an electrolyte to the number of charges it carries (e.g. 1
mole of Na+ = 1 Equivalent, whereas 1 mole of Ca++ = 2 Equivalents). Like moles, equivalence can also be
expressed in milliequivalent/L and microequivalent/L of the solvent.

 Osmosis is the movement of a solution (e.g. water) through a semi permeable membrane from the lower
concentration to the higher concentration.

 Osmole/L or milliosmole/L is a measuring unit for the dissolution of a solute in a solvent

 Osmotic coefficient means the degree of dissolution of solutes (molecules) in a solvent (solution). For example
the osmotic coefficient of NaCl is 0.9 means that if 10 molecules of NaCl are dissolved in water, 9 molecules will
dissolve and 1 molecule will not dissolve.
 Osmolarity is the dissolution of a solute in plasma measured in liters, whereas
Osmolality is the dissolution of a solute in whole blood measured in kilograms. Therefore,
Osmolality is more accurate term because dissolution of a solute in plasma is less inclusive
when compared to whole blood that contains plasma (90%) and Proteins (10%).
 Gibbs – Donnan Equilibrium refers to movement of chargeable particles through a semi
permeable membrane against its natural location to achieve equal concentrations on either side
of the semi permeable membrane. For example, movement of Cl- from extra cellular space
(natural location) to intracellular space (unusual location) in case of hyperchloremic metabolic
acidosis because negatively charged proteins (natural location in intravascular space) are large
molecules that cannot cross the semi permeable membrane for this equilibrium.
 Tonicity of a solution means effective osmolality in relation to plasma (=285 milliosmol/L).
Therefore, isotonic solutions [e.g. 0.9% saline solution] have almost equal tonicity of the plasma,
hypotonic solutions [e.g. 0.45% saline solution] have < tonicity than plasma, and hypertonic
[e.g. 3% saline solution] solutions have > tonicity than plasma.
Abnormal
Hypokalemia:
Occurs when serum K+<3 mEq/L.
Treatment involves KCl i.v. infusion or
orally.
THE MOST COMMON SURGICAL
ABNORMALITY
Should not be administered at rate
greater than 10-20 mmol/hr
Causes of hypokalaemia
Reduced/inadequate intake
Gastrointestinal tract losses
 Vomiting
 Gastric aspiration/drainage
 Fistulae
 Diarrhoea
 Ileus
 Intestinal obstruction
 Potassium-secreting villous adenomas
Urinary losses
 Metabolic alkalosis
 Hyperaldosteronism
 Diuretic use
 Renal tubular disorders(e.g. bartter’s syndrome, renal
tubular acidosis, amphotericin-induced tubular
damage)
Hyperkalemia:
Diagnosis is established by ↑ serum K+>6
meq/L and ECG changes.
Causes include increase K+ infusion in
IVF, tissue injury, metabolic acidosis,
renal failure, blood transfusion, and
hemodialysis.
Arrythmia is the presentation
Causes of hyperkalaemia
Haemolysis
Rhabdomyolysis
Massive tissue damage
Acidosis……..ARF
Management of high K
Diagnosis is established by ↑ serum K+>6
meq/L and ECG changes.
 Treatment includes 1 ampule of D50% +
10 IU Insulin intravenously over 15
minutes, calcium exalate enemas, Lasix
20-40 mg i.v., and dialysis if needed.
Sodium Excess (Hypernatremia):
Diagnosis is established when serum sodium >
145mEq/L.
this is primarily caused by high sodium infusion
(e.g. 0.9% or 3% NaCl saline solutions).
 Another but rare cause is
hyperaldosteronism.( What is function?)
Patients with CHF, Cirrhosis, and nephrotic
syndrome are prone to this complication
Symptoms and sign of are similar to water
excess.
Causes hypernatreamia
Reduced intake
 Fasting
 Nausea and vomiting
 Ileus
 Reduced conscious level
Increased loss
 Sweating (pyrexia, hot environment)
 Respiratory tract loss (increased ventilation,
administration of dry gases)
 Burns
Inappropriate urinary water loss
 Diabetes insipidus (pituitary or nephrogenic)
 Diabetes mellitus
 Excessive sodium load (hypertonic fluids, parenteral
nutrition)
Management of HN
Diagnosis is established when serum
sodium > 145mEq/L.
Treatment include water intake and ↓
sodium infusion in IVF (e.g. 0.45% NaCl
or D5%Water).
Sodium Deficit (Hyponatremia):
Causes are hyperglycemia, excessive IV
sodium-free fluid administration
(Corrected Na= BS mg/dl x 0.016 + P (Na) )
can be volum over load, normo, low
Hyponatremia with volum overload
usually indicates impaired renal ability to
excrete sodium
Treatment of hypo Na
Administering the calculated sodium needs in
isotonic solution
In severe hyponatremia ( Na less than
120meq/l): hypertonic sodium solution
Rapid correction may cause permanent brain
damage duo to the osmotic demyelination
syndrom
Serum Na sholud be increased at a rate
not exceed 10-12meq/L/h.
Water Excess:
caused by inappropriate use of hypotonic
solutions (e.g. D5%Water) leading to hypo-
osmolar hyponatremia, and Syndrome of
inappropriate anti-diuretic hormone
secretion (SIADH)
Look for SIADH causes :malignant tumors, CNS
diseases, pulmonary disorders, medications, and
severe stress.
The role of ADH:
ADH = urinary concentration
ADH = secreted in response to 
osmo;
= secreted in response to  vol;
ADH acts on DCT / CD to reabsorb water
Acts via V2 receptors & aquaporin 2
Acts only on WATER
Symptoms of EW
Symptoms of water excess develop slowly
and if not recognized and treated
promptly, they become evident by
convulsions and coma due to
cerebral edema
Signs of hypo /
hypervolaemia:
Signs of …
Volume depletion Volume overload
Postural hypotension Hypertension
Tachycardia Tachycardia
Absence of JVP @ 45o Raised JVP / gallop rh
Decreased skin turgor Oedema
Dry mucosae Pleural effusions
Supine hypotension Pulmonary oedema
Oliguria Ascites
Organ failure Organ failure
Treatment of EW
water restriction and infusion of isotonic or
hypertonic saline solution
In the SIADH secretion. Diagnosis of SIADH
secretion is established when urine sodium > 20
mEq/L when there is no renal failure,
hypotension, and edema. Treatment involves
restriction of water intake (<1000 ml/day) and
use of ADH- Antagonist (Demeclocycline 300-
600 mg b.i.d).
Water Deficit:
the most encountered derangement of
fluid balance in surgical patients.
 Causes include Bleeding, third spacing,
gastrointestinal losses, increase insensible
loss (normal ≈ 10ml/kg/day), and
increase renal losses (normal ≈ 500-1500
ml/day).
Symptoms and Signs of WD
Symptoms of water deficit include feeling
thirsty, dryness, lethargy, and confusion.
Signs include dry tongue and mucous
membranes, sunken eyes, dry skin, loss of
skin turgor, collapsed veins, depressed
level of conciousness, and coma.
Signs of hypo /
hypervolaemia:
Signs of …
Volume depletion Volume overload
Postural hypotension
Tachycardia
Absence of JVP @ 45o
Decreased skin turgor
Dry mucosae
Supine hypotension
Oliguria
Organ failure
Diagnosis of WD
 Diagnosis can be confirmed by ↑ serum
sodium (>145mEq/L) and ↑ serum
osmolality (>300 mOsmol/L)
Tratment of WD
 If sodium is > 145mEq/L give 0.45% hypotonic saline solution,
 if sodium is >160mEq/L give D5%Water cautiously and slowly
(e.g. 1liter over 2-4 hours) in order not to cause water excess.
 Bleeding should be replaced by IVF initially then by whole blood or
packed red cells depending on hemoglobin level. Each blood unit
will raise the hemoglobin level by 1 g.
 Third spacing replacement can be estimated within a range of 4-8
ml/kg/h.
 Gastrointestinal and intraoperative losses should be replaced cc/cc.
 IVF maintenance can be roughly estimated as 4/2/1 rule.
Hypercalcemia:
Diagnosis is established by measuring the
free Ca++ >10mg/dl.
In surgical patients hypercalcemia is
usually caused by hyperparathyroidism
and malignancy.
Symptoms of hypercalcemia may include
confusion, weakness, lethargy, anorexia,
vomiting, epigastric abdominal pain due to
pancreatitis, and nephrogenic diabetes
Management of high Ca
Diagnosis is established by measuring the
free Ca++ >10mg/dl.
Treatment includes normal saline infusion,
and if CA++>14mg/dl with ECG changes
additional diuretics, calcitonin, and
mithramycin might be necessary
Hypocalcemia:
Results from low parathyroid hormone after
thyroid or parathyroid surgeries,
 low vitamin D,
 pseudohypocalcemia (low albumin and
hyperventilation).
 Other less common causes include pancreatitis,
necrotizing fascitis, high output G.I. fistula, and
massive blood transfusion.
Symptoms and signs of low Ca
may include numbness and tingling
sensation circumorally or at the fingers’
tips. Tetany and seizures may occur at a
very low calcium level. Signs include
tremor, hyperreflexia, carpopedal spasms
and positive Chvostek sign.
Treatment of low Ca
Treatment should start by treating the
cause. Calcium supplementation with
calcium gluconate or calcium carbonate
i.v. or orally. Vitamin D supplementation
especially in chronic cases.
Hypomagnesaemia:
The majority of magnesium is intracellular with
only <1% is in extracellular space.
It happens from inadequate replacement in
depleted surgical patients with major GI fistula
and those on TPN.
 Magnesium is important for
neuromuscular activities. (can not correct
K nor Ca)
In surgical patients hypomagnesaemia is a
frequently missed common electrolyte
abnormality as it causes no major alerting
Hypermagnesaemia:
Mostly occur in association with renal
failure, when Mg+ excretion is impaired.
The use of antacids containing Mg+ may
aggravate hypermagnesaemia.
 Treatment includes rehydration and renal
dialysis.
Hypophosphataemia:
This condition may result from :
-inadequate intestinal absorption,
-increased renal excretion,
-hyperparathyroidism,
- massive liver resection, and
-inadequate replacement after recovery
from significant starvation and catabolism.
Management of low phos
Hypophosphataemia causes muscle
weakness and inadequate tissue
oxygenation due to reduced 2,3-
diphosphoglycerate levels.
Early recognition and replacement will
improve these symptoms.
Hyperphosphataemia:
Mostly is associated with renal failure and
hypocalcaemia due to
hypoparathyroidism, which reduces renal
phosphate excretion.

  • 23. Fluid shifts in disease Fluid loss: GI: diarrhoea, vomiting, etc. renal: diuresis vascular: haemorrhage skin: burns Fluid gain: Iatrogenic: Heart / liver / kidney failure:
  • 24. WHAT IS THE AMOUNT?  In adults remember IVF rate = wt (kg) + 40.  70 + 40 = 110cc/hr  Assumes no significant renal or cardiac disease and NPO.  This is the maintenance IVF rate, it must be adjusted for any dehydration or ongoing fluid loss.  Conversely, if the pt is taking some PO, the IVF rate must be decreased accordingly.  Daily lytes, BUN ,Cr, I/O, and if possible, weight should  be monitored in patients receiving significant IVF.
  • 25. Sodium requirement  Na: 1-3 meq/kg/day  70 kg male requires 70-210 meq NaCl in 2600 cc fluid per day.  0.45% saline contains 77 meq NaCl per liter.  2.6 x 77 = 200 meq  Thus, 0.45% saline is usually used as MIVF assuming no other volume or electrolyte issues.
  • 26. Potassium requirment  Potassium: 1 meq/kg/day  K can be added to IV fluids. Remember this increases osm load.  20 meq/L is a common IVF additive.  This will supply basal needs in most pts who are NPO.  If significantly hypokalemia, order separate K supplementation.  Oral potassium supplementation is always preferred when feasible.  Should not be administered at rate greater than 10-20 mmol/hr
  • 27. Calculation of osmolality Difficult: measure & add all active osmoles Easy = [ sodium x 2 ] + urea + glucose Normal = 280 - 290 mosm / kg
  • 28. Third part is medicine
  • 29. Iv fluids IV fluid forms: ?????  Colloids  Crystalloids
  • 30. Iv Fluids Colloid solutions Containing water and large proteins and molecules tend to stay within the vascular space Crystalloid solutions containing water and electrolytes.
  • 31. Colloid solutions - IV fluids containing large proteins and molecules - tend to stay within the vascular space and increase intravascular pressure -very expensive - Examples: Dextran, hetastarch, albumin…
  • 32. Crystalloid solutions Contain electrolytes (e.g.,sodium, potassium, calcium, chloride) Lack the large proteins and molecules Come in many preparations and volum Classified according to their “tonicity: ” 0.9% NaCl (normal saline), Lactated Ringer's solution isotonic,  2.5% dextrose hypotonic  D5 NaCl hypertonic

Terminologies:  A solvent is the liquid where particles dissolves in (e.g. Water) that can be measured in liters and milliliters  Solutes are the dissolving particles  A molecule is the smallest unit with chemical identity (e.g. Water consist of one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms = water molecule)  Ions are dissociated molecule into parts that have electrical charges ( e.g. NaCl dissociates into Na+ and Cl-)  Cations are positively charged ions (e.g. Na+) due to loss of an electron (e-) and anions are negatively charged ions (e.g. Cl-) due to gain of an electrone (e-)  Electrolytes are interacting cations and anions (e.g. H+ + Cl- = HCL [hydrochloric acid])  A univalent ion has one electrical charge (e.g. Na+). A divalent ion has two electrical charges (e.g. Ca++)
  • 41.  Molecular weight is the sum of atomic weights of different parts of a molecule (e.g. H+ [2 atoms] + O2 [16 atoms] = H2O [18 atoms])  A mole is a measuring unit of the weight of each substance` in grams (e.g. 1 mole of Na+ = 23 grams, 1 mole of Cl- = 35 grams, 1 mole of NaCl = 58 grams). It can be expressed in moles/L, millimoles x 10-3/L, micromoles x 10-6/L of the solvent.   Equivalence refers to the ionic weight of an electrolyte to the number of charges it carries (e.g. 1 mole of Na+ = 1 Equivalent, whereas 1 mole of Ca++ = 2 Equivalents). Like moles, equivalence can also be expressed in milliequivalent/L and microequivalent/L of the solvent.   Osmosis is the movement of a solution (e.g. water) through a semi permeable membrane from the lower concentration to the higher concentration.   Osmole/L or milliosmole/L is a measuring unit for the dissolution of a solute in a solvent   Osmotic coefficient means the degree of dissolution of solutes (molecules) in a solvent (solution). For example the osmotic coefficient of NaCl is 0.9 means that if 10 molecules of NaCl are dissolved in water, 9 molecules will dissolve and 1 molecule will not dissolve.
  • 42.  Osmolarity is the dissolution of a solute in plasma measured in liters, whereas Osmolality is the dissolution of a solute in whole blood measured in kilograms. Therefore, Osmolality is more accurate term because dissolution of a solute in plasma is less inclusive when compared to whole blood that contains plasma (90%) and Proteins (10%).  Gibbs – Donnan Equilibrium refers to movement of chargeable particles through a semi permeable membrane against its natural location to achieve equal concentrations on either side of the semi permeable membrane. For example, movement of Cl- from extra cellular space (natural location) to intracellular space (unusual location) in case of hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis because negatively charged proteins (natural location in intravascular space) are large molecules that cannot cross the semi permeable membrane for this equilibrium.  Tonicity of a solution means effective osmolality in relation to plasma (=285 milliosmol/L). Therefore, isotonic solutions [e.g. 0.9% saline solution] have almost equal tonicity of the plasma, hypotonic solutions [e.g. 0.45% saline solution] have < tonicity than plasma, and hypertonic [e.g. 3% saline solution] solutions have > tonicity than plasma.

  • 49. Sodium Excess (Hypernatremia): Diagnosis is established when serum sodium > 145mEq/L. this is primarily caused by high sodium infusion (e.g. 0.9% or 3% NaCl saline solutions).  Another but rare cause is hyperaldosteronism.( What is function?) Patients with CHF, Cirrhosis, and nephrotic syndrome are prone to this complication Symptoms and sign of are similar to water excess.

  • 63. Tratment of WD  If sodium is > 145mEq/L give 0.45% hypotonic saline solution,  if sodium is >160mEq/L give D5%Water cautiously and slowly (e.g. 1liter over 2-4 hours) in order not to cause water excess.  Bleeding should be replaced by IVF initially then by whole blood or packed red cells depending on hemoglobin level. Each blood unit will raise the hemoglobin level by 1 g.  Third spacing replacement can be estimated within a range of 4-8 ml/kg/h.  Gastrointestinal and intraoperative losses should be replaced cc/cc.  IVF maintenance can be roughly estimated as 4/2/1 rule.
