• TBW -72% of lean body mass
• Highest in infant-80%
• Lowest in female due to increased adipose
tissue
Body Fluid compartment
• ICC-ICF
• ECC-ECF
• ISS-ISF
• IVC- Plasma
• TBW=42 L
• ICF=2/3 =28 L
• ECF=1/3= 14 L (3 L plasma + 11 L
ISF)
• Lymph and trans cellular fluid
kind of ISF
Trans cellular fluid
• A part of ECF
• Actively secreted from cells
• Rich in mucopolysaccharide or
glycoprotein-so it is slippery
• Eg.- CSF,Synovial fluid,pleural
fluid,peritoneal fluid,pericardial
fluid,Intra ocular fluid,GI secretions
Measurement of Fluid compartment volume
• ICF=TBW-ECF
• ISF=ECF-Plasma
• For TBW= D20
• For ECF=inulin,mannitol
• For plasma=Radio iodinated Serum
albumin
Ionic composition
• ECF =total cation=total anion=150 meq/l
• ICF=total cation=total anion=200 meq/l
• So every fluid comp.is electrically neutral
• ECF chief Cation Na+(135-145) and anion
Cl-100 and bicarbonate
• ICF Chief cation K + 150 and anion
phosphate 140 and protein
• So, ECF rich in Na and Cl
• ICF rich in K ,phosphate and protein
Law of osmotic equilibrium
• ICF,ECF,ISF,Plasma …..osmotic pressure all the
same= 280-300 mosm/l
Plasma Osmotic pressure
• 280-300mosm/l
• 92% of OP contributed by NaCl
• Plasma protein contributed only 0.5%(Colloid
osmotic pressure 25 mm of Hg)
• Plasma OP is the direct function of
Plama NaCl conc.
• ECF OP=ICF OP
• ECF hyperosmolarity ICF water comes
out of cell cellular dehydration
• ECF Hypoosmolarity water enters into
ICF cellular swelling/edema
Consequence of osmotic disequilibrium
What Happened?
Clinical problem solving
• A 30-yr-old man with presented to A & E
department with features of Hypovolemic
Shock after fracture rt.femur without any
evidence of head injury .His GCS was 15/15 on
admission.Patient had been resuscitated by
5% DA (3L) in first 2 hour.After 2 hr his GCS
became 12/15.The most possible mechanism
for deteriorating GCS in this condition-
• A) Cerebral Concussion
• B)Cerebral dehydration
• C)Cerebral edema
• D)Cerebral hypoxia
• E)Cerebral hypoperfusion
• ECF OP> ICF OP(Infusion of hypertonic
solution)
What happened?????
cerebral dehydration
Colloid osmotic pressure(COP) and Colloid
solution
• COP tends to retain fluid within intravascular
space
• Increased COP of plasma promotes fluid
translocation from ECF to intravascular space
• IV administration of colloid expands plasma
volume
• Plasma volume expander-clinical use
Clinical Problem solving
• A 35 year old man presented to emergency
with pelvic bone fracture following fall from
the height with rapid thready
pulse,hypotension and oliguria.Patient’s blood
is sent for grouping and cross
matching.Patient had been resuscitated
initially by Hartmann’s soln and
Hexaethylstarch(HES) solution.The explanation
behind the use of HES Solution-
• A) It decreases intravascular hydrostatic
pressure
• B) It increases intravascular colloid osmotic
pressure
• C)It retains the fluid within intracellular
compartment
• D)It expels fluid from intravascular
compartment
• E) it expands the intravascular compartment.
Water retaining solute
• ECF- Na,cl,HCO3
• ICF-K,Phosphate,Protein
• IV- Plasma protein
Important equations
• ICF Vol 1/ECF osmolarity
• Not 5% DA
Post operative fluid
• Initial estimated loss-replaced ml by ml with
isotonic soln.If blood loss >15% BT
• Ongoing loss- NG aspirtion,drain,replaced by
isotonic saline NS ,Ringer’s lactate for GI Loss
• For 1000 ml loss 20 mmol K added
• Maintenance-
• 1st POD- 2000 ml 5% DA
• 2nd POD 2 L 5% DA + 1L Isotonic
soln(Hartmann)
• 3rd POD-20 mmol K added at each 1L soln
Colloid solution
• Limited use
• Plasma volume expander
• Gelatin(Hemaccel),Dextran,HES-synthetic
• Needs smaller volume-equal with volume
deficit
Water homeostasis
• Intake and out put 2600ml
• 25-30 ml/kg/day
• Child 100 ml/kg/day
Water balance regulation
• 1.Thirst mechanism -stimulated by plasma
hyper osmolarity(2-3%) and hypovolemia
• ADH mechanism –same stimulation but
hyperosmolarity(1-2%)
• ADH escape- if plasma osmolarity more than
300 mosm ADH mechanism fails.Thirst
mechanism override.
Mechanism
• RAAS
• SNS
• Renin
• Angiotensin 2
Hypovolumia
SNS stimulation
OR stimulation
• Conn’s syndrome
Volume disorder
• Isotonic volume contraction- Isotonic fluid
loss
• severe hemorrhage,acute severe
diarrhoea,Enterocutaneous fistula ,Intestinal obstruction
• ECF Vol. decrease
• ECF Osmolarity .no change
• ICF vol. no change
• Hct increase
• Na ..no change
Isotonic volume expansion
• -Excess infusion of normal saline
• ECF volume increase
• ICF Vol no change
• ECF osmolarity no change
• Hct decrease
• Na conc…no change
Hyperosmotic vol.contraction
• Fever,sweating DI
• Fluid loss is more than Na
• ECF vol. …..Decrease
• ECF osmolarity….Increase
• ICF vol Decrease
• Na conc…increase
• Hct…..normal
Hyperosmolar volume expansion
