The document discusses fluid and electrolyte imbalance. It begins by outlining the body's fluid compartments and functions of body water. It then discusses electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and phosphate. It describes fluid volume imbalances including fluid volume deficit and excess. It also covers electrolyte imbalances including hyponatremia, hypernatremia, hypokalemia, hyperkalemia, hypocalcemia, and hypercalcemia. For each imbalance, it discusses etiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic studies, management, and journal references.
6. FUNCTION OF BODY WATER
•Transporting nutrients , electrolyte ,
oxygen to blood
•Carry waste product away from cell
•Regulate body temperature
•Lubricate joints and membrane
•Maintain immunity power

17. FLUID VOLUME IMBALANCE
•Fluid volume deficit
Definition
fluid volume deficit is the abnormal loss
of body fluid , inadequate intake or plasma
interstitial fluid shift
18. CAUSES
• Increased insensible water loss
• Diabetic insipidus
• Use of osmotic diuretic
• Haemorrhage
• GI loss
• Inadequate fluid intake
• Burn
• Intestinal obstruction
• Impaired thirst
• Inadequate water intake
28. • Treat underlying causes
• Replace electrolyte and water
• Oral rehydration therapy(sodium chloride 2.6g
,glucose anhydrous 13.5g ,potassium chloride 1.5g
,Trisodium citrate 2.9 g )
• Iv therapy isotonic solution (.9% normal saline and
ringer lactated , 5%dextrose )
• Blood administered (in sever cases of shock)
29. JOURNAL REFERENCE
• Guru c dasari conducted a study on 2019 about incidence of
hypovolemia in preoperative patient
period and correlation with induction of hypotension in
patient with aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage .in
department of anaesthesia in Chandigarh India about 98
patient were analysed
2 were excluded .incidence of hypovolemia was 70.4%in 98
patient,69 patient found to be hypovolemic 29% were
euvolemic correlation between hypovolemia and hypotension
was highly significant with p value 0.001
30. (2) FLUID VOLUME EXCESS
•DEFINITION
accumulation of body fluid both
sodium and water
31. ETIOLOGY
• Excess intake of sodium contain iv fluid
• Excess intake of sodium diet or medication (sodium
bicarbonate )
• Impaired fluid balance regulation (heart failure, renal
failure
SIADH
Cirrhosis of the liver
Cushing syndrome
Pregnancy
36. MANAGEMENT AND
• Removing excess fluid without affecting the electrolyte
• Primary treatment is diuretics administration
• Fluid restriction for patient with heart ,kidney ,liver
problem
• Restriction of sodium intake
• If fluid overload is high may lead to plural effusion and
ascites and it will be managed with thoracentesis
• Check I/O chart
37. RESEARCH REFERENCE
• HOWARD J GREEN CONDUCTED a study in 2019 about
training induced hypervolemia lack of an effect on oxygen
utilization during exercise among 8 male subject (19-24 year
of age)underwent a4 day training programme at an estimated
oxygen 71% maximal estimated aerobic power and ventilation
were not altered .it concluded that hypervolemia induced by
short term exercise not affect
The oxygen consumption either during submaximal or
maximal level
42. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Sodium loss from the intravascular
compartment
diffusion of water into interstitial space
sodium in the interstitial space is diluted
decreased osmolarity of ICF
43. water moves into cell as a result of sodium
loss
extra cellular compartment is depleted of
water
clinical symptoms developed
45. DIAGNOSTIC STUDY
• history collection
• Physical examination
• Serum studies
• Neurological assessment ,
• GI motility
• urine osmolality
• Plasma osmolality
46. MANAGEMENT
• Restore NA level to normal and prevent further
complication
• Acute hyponatremia can be treated with 2-3% of
hypertonic saline solution (100ml/hr til NA
concentration improved
• Treat the underline cause of disease (SIADH, kidney
problem ,et )
47. if FVE with hyponatremia can be treated with osmotic
diuretics( mannitol )
Increased oral sodium intake and restrict fluid intake
In severe cases 3% sodium may infused 4-
6ml/kg/h(seizure, hypothermia coma et)
