Fluid output (Fluid losses)
1. Diffusion
2. Osmosis
3. Filtration
4. Active transport
1. Diffusion – the movement of molecules/solutes through a
semipermeable membrane from a high concentration to a
low concentration
2. Osmosis : the passage of water through a semipermeable
membrane from a low concentration of particles to a high
concentration of particles (The concentration of particles in a
solution, is referred to as the Osmolarity of a solution.)
3. Filtration is a moving of fluid and solutes together across a
membrane under pressure from an area of higher pressure to
an area of lower pressure.
Some ions develop a positive charge and are called cations. The
major cations in body fluid are sodium, potassium, calcium,
hydrogen, and magnesium ions.
Other ions develop a negative charge and are called anions. The
major anions in body fluid are chloride, bicarbonate, and
phosphate.
The major intracellular electrolytes are
potassium and magnesium.
̵ When planning the correction of fluid loss for the patient with
FVD, the primary health care provider considers the
maintenance requirements of the patient and other factors
(eg, fever) that can influence fluid needs.
Or 35cc/kg/day
Or Weight in kg + 40 per hr
Example : Pt weight 85kg.
– 40 + 20 + 65 = 125cc/hr
– 85 + 40 = 125cc/hr
Step 2: Calculate Ongoing Maintenance Requirements
1.Crystalloids
2.Colloids
2. They cannot pass through the walls of capillaries and into cells
4. They attract water from the cells into the blood vessels
prolonged movement can cause the cells to lose too much water and
become dehydrated
Common colloids
Blood and blood products
used to add volume to the blood system after a large loss
Plasma of blood.
Red Blood Cells carry oxygen from the lungs to other parts
of the body and then carry carbon dioxide back to the
lungs.
Red blood cells
A transfusion of whole blood or packed red blood cells
may be needed to treat acute blood loss or anaemia.
