Distribution of body fluids
Water is the major constitutes of body tissues
TBW range (of total body weight) from
40% - 60% adults75% infants
Loss of 20% - fatal
Distribution of body fluids, or total body water (TBW),involves the presence of
Intracellular(ICF)
Extracellular(ECF) fluids

So where are these fluids kept?
Body fluids are divided between the intracellular& extracellulardepartment
Most of our body fluid (2/3) is found in the intracellular
department.
ICFContains solutes such as Oxygen, electrolytes protein & glucose.
ICF provides a medium in which metabolic processes of the celltake place.
ICF contain electrolytes as K, Mg (primary electrolytes)

Extracellular(ECF)
Fluid outside the cells
It is the transport system that carries nutrients &
waste products to and from the cells
Newborn 50% of body fluid contained within
ECF

Mechanisms of fluid movements
Water is retained in the body in a relatively constantamount and it is almost freely exchangeable among allbody fluid compartments (ICF & ECF)
Transport mechanisms are the basis for all activitywithin the cells, and since they have limited ability tostore materials, movement in and out of cells must berapid.
Internal control mechanisms (such as thirst,antidiuretic hormone (ADH), and aldosterone (whichenhances sodium reabsorption) are responsible fordistribution & maintenance of fluid balance.

Movement of water in the body between cells
(extracellular fluid) is caused by osmosis.
This is created by magnetic forces in the body,which keep the movement in balance. As waterflows, changes in pressure create movementacross the cell membranes.
Any changes in pressure will allow proteins,minerals and other nutrients being carried by
the blood to escape into spaces betweenvessels and deprive the cells of their vital
needs to sustain life.

Osmolality
Osmolality is
The concentration of solutes in the body
fluids,
Reported as milliosmols per kilogram
(mOsm/kg).
Sodium is the greatest determinant of serum
osmolality.

IMBALANCES
It occurs when body fluids are lost in excess of fluidgain
The great majority of disturbances in hydration & electrolytesbalance occur secondary to vomiting & diarrhea
Fluid Imbalances-1Causes of dehydration are:
1. Lack of oral intake.
2. GI ; vomiting, diarrhea, malabsorption
3. Burns
4. Fever
5. Diabetes mellitus
6. Tachypnea as in bronchiolitis

Isotonic /Isonatremicdehydration:
Hypertonicdehydration/hypernatremia
Hypotonic/Hyponatremiadehydration
Occurrence
fluids & electrolytes losses are in
same proportion as they exist inthe body
water intake decreases
&Na increases
decrease in Na &
retention of water
10-20% of children with
dehydration havehypertonic/hypernatrmic
Fluid osmolarity is not affected &
there is deficit of TBW.
Proportionally greater
loss of water than Na
It can be caused by
excessive plain
water intake and
defect in renal water
excretion and failurein Syndrome of
inappropriate
antidiuretic hormone
(SIADH)
Hypotonic/ Hyponatremia
dehydration
is occur in 10% of children
with dehydration.
70% of children with diarrhea occur when insensible
loss of water from skin &
respiration tract is high
CF is due to
excessive lose of
Na via sweat.
(plasma Na+ remains normal
130-150 mEq/L).
In this case the Na
increase the osmotic
pressure in the blood
vessels that shifts the
fluids from the IC to the
ECS(plasma Na+ > 150
mEq/L) .
The water shifts
from ECS to ICS
causing circulatory
collapse.

Disturbances in Fluid Volume, Electrolyte&
Acid-Base Balances
Many factors affect the fluid & electrolyte balance such asillness, surgery, medications, burns, vomiting,diarrhea and nasogastric suction.
The majority of childhood illnesses that caused imbalances
they occur secondary to vomiting and diarrhea.
The imbalances can be:
1. Total body deficit/excess of fluid and electrolyte with theosmolality of the body is not affected.
2. When relationship between fluid & electrolyte has beenaltered & the osmolality is altered (electrolytes+++with dehydration & dec- with overhydration).
3. both a and b.

Factors Affecting Body Fluid, Electrolytes and Acid-
Base Balance
infant has immature kidneys, rapid respiration and:age-1more body surface area than adult which make the infantloses the fluid rapidly.
In elderly people, the thirst response often is blunted and
kidney become less able to conserve water that will affectthe fluid balance.
Female having more fat (people:Gender and Body Size-2with a higher percentage of body fat have less fluid).
both salt and water are lost:Environmental Temperature-3through sweating in hot climate
diet, exercise, stress and alcohol consumption all:Lifestyle-4affect the fluid and electrolyte balance

Sodium ImbalanceSodium ImbalanceHypertonic DehydrationHypertonic Dehydration
Gain of Na+ in excess of waterPlasma Na+ > 145 mEq / L
The causes of hypertonic/hypernatrmic can be
1. Administration of hypertonic IV fluids
2. Increase of Na intake
3. Failure of ADH (H2O loss Increase in ECF)
4. Increase of insensible loss of water as
in burn, fever, respiratory infections.
5. RF
The defense mechanisms for this case are
stimulation of thirst
stimulation of ADH.

Hypotonic DehydrationHypotonic Dehydration
Overall decrease in Na+ in ECF (Plasma Na+ < 130 mEq/L)
Causes
1. Excessive plain water intake & defect in renal water
excretion
2. C.F (excessive loss of Na+ via sweating)
Which leads to:
H2O shifting from ECF into ICU causing circulation collapse
Clinical manifestations

Overdehydration/ Edema
Over dehydration is the excess ofinterstitial fluid caused by:
Receiving IVF very fast (Kidney Function is normal)
Patient receiving dialysis or enema
Edema is the presence of excess fluid in the interstitial spaces.
. Fluid Volume excess FVE :1
FVE increase the capillary pressures, pushing fluid into the interstitial tissuesby filtration. (e.g heart failure and renal failure).
. Low levels of plasma proteins in blood:2
This will reduce the oncotic pressure so that fluid is not drawn into the capillariesfrom interstitial tissues. (e.g nephritic syndrome and malnutrition).
OP is exerted by proteins in blood plasma that usually tends to pull waterinto the circulatory system
-

. Allergic reaction:3
The albumin can move easily from the capillaries membrane pulling
with it the fluid. This can be seen also in burns & truma.capillaries become more permeable allowing the fluid to escape intointerstitial tissues.
. Increase in interstitial oncotic pressure:4The protein enter the interstitial fluid (tissue fluid) more than theyleave causing increase in interstitial oncotic pressure that in turnpull the fluid into tissue as in tumors and hypothyroidism
. Obstructed lymph flow :5This impairs the movement of fluid from interstitial tissues back intothe vascular compartment.

Edema
Taking accurate daily weights is important to detect any weight
changes.
Vital signs, physical appearance, and changes in urine character or
output are noted.
Edema (general) in infants may first be seen around the eyes and in
the presacral, occipital, abdominal girth or genital areas.

Acid-Base balanceHomeostasis: a balance of fluids, electrolytes and acids and bases in the body; thatreflects a good health.
excretion of carbonpulmonary and renalbase balance is maintained by normal-Aciddioxide and acid, respectively.
Acid-base balance is a dynamic relationship which reflects the concentration of
hydrogen ions (H+) in the body
hydrogen ions (ex Carbonic acid)releasesis the substanceAcidA drop in pH is called acidosis
)3hydrogen ions (HCOacceptcanBase
A rises in pH is called alkalosis
PH is the relative acidity or alkalinity of a solution:
# higher hydrogen ions lead to more acidity which is low pH 7.

Body fluid PH
Body fluids are slightly alkaline
45.7-35.7Normal pH of arterial blood is-
several body systems including
1. Buffers,
2. Respiratory system,
3. Renal systemAre maintaining the narrow pH

Regulating Acid-Base balance
Buffers (Fastest)-1
(solutions that tend to resist changes in their PH as acid/base added)
Major buffers system in ECF is the carbonic acid ( H2CO3) & its conjugatedbase; bicarbonate (HCO3)
plasma proteins, hemoglobin andBesides bicarbonate & carbonic acid buffers,phosphates also function as buffers in body fluids.
HCO3 + H+ H2CO3 this is a weak volatile acid eliminatedCO2 + H2O H2CO3 HCO3 + H+
Respiratory Regulation:-2Regulating acid-base balance by eliminating or retaining carbon dioxide (CO2)by altering the rate and depth of respirations.
-
8/7/2019 2. Fluid, Electrolyte, And Acid-Base Balance (Reduced)
37/63
-If the blood level ofcarbonic acid (H2CO3) increase the rateand depth of respirations increase (hyperventilation) toexcrete CO2 to fall the level of H2CO3
If the blood level of bicarbonate (HCO3-) increase the rate anddepth of respirations decrease (hypoventilation) to retain theCO2 and rise the level of carbonic acid.
- PCO2 refer to pressure of carbon dioxide in venous blood
-PaCO2 refer to pressure of carbon dioxide in arterial blood.
Normal PaCO2 is 35-40 mmHg
-
8/7/2019 2. Fluid, Electrolyte, And Acid-Base Balance (Reduced)
38/63
3- Renal Regulation:
Normal serum bicarbonate level is 22-26 mEq/L
- kidneys maintain acid-base balance by excreting or
conserving bicarbonate (acid) & hydrogen ions
- Ifacidity increased the kidneys reabsorb and regeneratebicarbonate and excrete H
- In the case ofalkalosis excess bicarbonate is excretedand H ion is retained
-

Acid-Base imbalances
The abnormalities in PaCO2 increase/decrease is calledrespiratory alkalosis/acidosis because PCO2 regulated byrespiration
# Increase in PaCO2 ---------------- respiratory acidosis
# Decrease in PaCO2----------------respiratory alkalosis.
The abnormalities ofplasma bicarbonate concentration refer tometabolic process
# Increase in HCO3---------------------metabolic alkalosis
# Decrease in HCO3------------------- metabolic acidosis

Respiratory Acidosis:
Hypoventilation and CO2 retention cause carbonic acid level to increase which willdrop the pH level below 7.35.
Ex. pH 7.28 (acidic) PaCO2 74 HCO3 26 N
When respiratory acidosis occurthe kidneys will retain bicarbonate to restore thenormal ratio of bicarbonate:carbonic acid (20:1) in order to restore the normalpH
pH 7.33 PaCO2 74 HCO3 32 (Compensated Res Acid)
This can be caused by
1. asthma
2. central nervous system depression
3. anesthesia, alcohol ,
4. aspiration of foreign body.
5. Pneumonia
S&S
1. Headache 2. Blurred vision
3. Restlessness 4. Anxiety 5. Tremors

Respiratory alkalosis:
Hyperventilation makes the CO2 to be exhaled causing the carbonic acid to fall and risethe pH above 7.45.
Ex. pH 7.50 (alklosic) PaCO2 30 HCO3 23 N
This can be caused by
1. Tetany
2. fever,
3. anxiety,
4. respiratory infection.
With respiratory alkalosis the kidneys will excrete bicarbonate to return normal pH.
pH 7.46 PaCO2 30 HCO3 20 (Compensated Res Alklosis)
S&S1. increase irritability of central and peripheral nervous system.
2. Light headache
3. Altered consciousness
4. Paresthesia of extremities
5. arrhythmias

8/7/2019 2. Fluid, Electrolyte, And Acid-Base Balance (Reduced)
43/63
Metabolic Acidosis (diarrhea)When bicarbonate is low in relation to the carbonic acid in the body, causingthe pH to fall.
Ex. pH 7.21 PaCO2 40 (N) HCO3 15.6
This can be caused by
1. Renal failure
2. Inability of the kidneys to excrete H ions.
3. Increase of anaerobic metabolism
4. Decrease in blood volume causing the kidney to function less effectively
Metabolic acidosis will stimulate the respiratory centercausing the rate anddepth of respiration to increase in which the CO2 is eliminated andthe carbonic acid is fall).
pH=7.34 PaCO2=28 HCO3= 15.6S&S
1. Increase depth of respiration 2. Arrhythmia
3. Lethargy----coma 4. Impaired growth (rickets)
5. Wt loss 6. Anorexia
7. Muscle weakness and listlessness.
Metabolic alkalosis (vomiting):

8/7/2019 2. Fluid, Electrolyte, And Acid-Base Balance (Reduced)
44/63
Metabolic alkalosis (vomiting):
When the amount of bicarbonate in the body exceeds the normal 20:1 ratio.This can be caused with ingestion of antacid, vomiting which causinglosing in H.
pH= 7.51 (Inc) PCO2=40 HCO3= 30.4 (hig)
The metabolic alkalosis will stimulate the respiratory center to slow and shallowthe breathing (causing to retain CO2 which will increase the carbonicacid level) pH=7.46 PaCO2= 45 HCO3= 31.2
Causes are
1. Muscles hypertonic
2. vomiting
3. nasogastric suctioning
4. diuretics;5. Hypokalemia .
6. HCO3 retention may result from, massive blood transfusion, excessiveadministration of sodium bicarbonate

. Vital signs:1
Early phase of ECF volume depletion is increase in Temp.
Pulse is rapid weak and thready in dehydration (thready pulse is anabnormal pulse that is weak and often fairly rapid, the artery does not feel fulland the rate may be difficult to count).
but the bounding pulse occurs in increase of plasma fluid volume
(decrease hematocrit & HG ) and in hypertonic dehydration.
In metabolic acidosis the compensatory mechanism will increase therespiratory rate.
And in potassium alteration whether its increase or decrease thebreathing will be shallow.
BP will increase in fluid volume excess.

Nursing management
* Maintenance requirements of the fluid and electrolytes that are
necessary to maintain homeostasis for 24 hours,
* The therapy must account for insensible loss, urine output, and
caloric needs.
* The maintenance calculated based on:
Body weight, surface area or caloric expenditure and mostly used
based on caloric expenditure.
*Holliday-Segars formula (method of estimating daily caloric needs)
(Beginning at 100 kcal/kg for an infant)

Example
Fluid maintenance for a body weight of 24 Kg is:
The first 10 Kg needs 100cc/Kg so = 10*100=1000
The second 10 kg needs 50cc/kg=10*50=500
And more than 20kg needs 20cc/kg=20*4=80
So in total fluid maintenance is =
1000+500+80= 1580cc/day, 1580calorie/day
