FLUID VOLUME DISTURBANCES
• ISOTONICa.Extracellular fluid volume deficitb.Extracellular fluid volume excess
• OSMOLARa.Dehydrationb.Water excess
![Page 3: Fluid Volume Disturbances](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061421/5536bf6a4a795911168b4b61/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Isotonic imbalances
- Water and electrolytes (sodium) are retained in isotonic proportions
Osmolar imbalances
- Losses or gains of water only
![Page 4: Fluid Volume Disturbances](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061421/5536bf6a4a795911168b4b61/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
- Loss of ECF volume exceeds the intake of fluid
- Ratio of electrolytes to water remain the same
![Page 5: Fluid Volume Disturbances](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061421/5536bf6a4a795911168b4b61/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Causes:
1. Abnormal loss of body fluids e.g. vomiting, diarrhea, sweating, hemorrhage,
3rd spacing, polyuria
2. ↓ oral intakeNeurologic problems
↓ thirst sensation
Nausea
Inability to gain access to fluids

s/sx Acute weight loss ↓ skin turgor, dry skin and
mucous membranes Oliguria, Thirst ↑ temp Muscle weakness, cramps Delayed capillary refill Postural hypotension tachycardia
(hypovolemic shock)
Cool, clammy skin from vasoconstriction

Laboratories
↑ Hct, S. Osm.
↑ U. Sp. Gr.
K+ and Na+ levels may vary according to underlying disorder
Normal crea, ↑ BUN
Management:
1. Fluid replacement
IV fluids: isotonic, followed by
hypotonic
Blood transfusion for hemorrhage
2. Vasopressors for shock: NE or dopamine
3. O2 as needed for decreased tissue perfusion

Nursing management
1. Prevent fld. vol. deficit: identify patients at risk
2. Monitor fluid status
- MIO
- Daily wt.
- V/S
pulse, postural BP(report for ↓ 25 mmHg systole)
- Skin turgor and mucous membrane status
- U. Sp. Gr.
- Monitor mental status for s/sx of ↓ tissue perfusion

3. Correct fluid volume deficiency
- Offer fluids at regular intervals; take note of patient’s likes and dislikes, and type of fluid lost
- Offer antiemetics if with nausea
- Maintain patent IV
- Administer fluids, vasopressors, and blood a.d.

2. Fluid volume 2. Fluid volume excess excess (hypervolemia)(hypervolemia)
• Isotonic expansion of ECF caused by abnormal expansion of Na+ and water in isotonic proportions
• May be in intravascular or interstitial space
![Page 12: Fluid Volume Disturbances](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061421/5536bf6a4a795911168b4b61/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

MANAGEMENT• Relieve
underlying cause– E.g. d/c Na+-
containing IV fluids
• Symptomatic treatment
• Pharmacologic therapy• Mild to moderate – thiazide
diuretics• Severe – loop diuretics• Lanoxin for CHF• Morphine for pulmonary edema• ACEI
• Hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis

![Page 15: Fluid Volume Disturbances](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061421/5536bf6a4a795911168b4b61/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
NUTRITIONAL THERAPY• Fluid restriction

(Normal intake : 6-15g/day)
mild 4-5 g/day
moderate 2 g/day
severe 0.5g/d
Substitute flavorings with lemon juice, onions, garlic
Check labels
• ↑ CHON intake for those with low serum CHON
![Page 16: Fluid Volume Disturbances](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061421/5536bf6a4a795911168b4b61/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Control FVE:
- Rest to hasten diuresis; avoid prolonged standing
- Elevate LEs, except in severe edema
- Institute fluid and Na+ restriction as indicated
- Cold fluids to ↓ thirst sensation
- Monitor response to diuretics and IV flow rate
- Use infusion pumps
![Page 18: Fluid Volume Disturbances](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061421/5536bf6a4a795911168b4b61/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
3. Reduce complications
- Regular turning and positioning to prevent skin breakdown- Keep patient’s heel off the matress
- Monitor serum electrolytes if on diuretics
- Elevate HOB 30-45 degrees to ↓ venous return
![Page 19: Fluid Volume Disturbances](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061421/5536bf6a4a795911168b4b61/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
3. Intracellular 3. Intracellular fluid volume deficit fluid volume deficit (dehydration)(dehydration)
• Loss of water more than Na+
• ECF hypertonic, draws fluid out of cells
![Page 20: Fluid Volume Disturbances](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061421/5536bf6a4a795911168b4b61/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
causes
1. ↓ intake of water

4. Intracellular fluid 4. Intracellular fluid volume excess volume excess (water intoxication)(water intoxication)
• More sodium lost in ECF than water• Water moves out of ECF into cells
![Page 26: Fluid Volume Disturbances](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061421/5536bf6a4a795911168b4b61/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

s/sx
(associated with ECFVE)
Sudden wt gain
Brain easily absorbs hypotonic fluids Intracellular edema ↑ ICP:
confusion and disorientation
headache, N/V
muscle weakness/ twitching
SZ
late signs: pupillary changes, bradycardia (slow, bounding pulse), widened pulse pressure
![Page 28: Fluid Volume Disturbances](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061421/5536bf6a4a795911168b4b61/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Labs
↓ S. Na+
↓ S. Osm
↓ Hct
hypoproteinemia
Management
1.↓ ICP Osmotic diureticsCorticosteroidsRestrict oral and
parenteral fluids
Avoid hypotonic soln’s until S. NA+
normalizes
Hypertonic solutions in severe cases
2. Identify and treat cause
![Page 29: Fluid Volume Disturbances](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061421/5536bf6a4a795911168b4b61/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Nursing management
1. Monitor a. neurologic status: LOC, V/S, reflexes, pupillary
changes; refer for any changes
b. Fluid status : MIO, wts, laboratory results (S. Na+, S. Osm.)
2. Restrict fluids as ordered
3. administer hypo- or hypertonic fluids carefully
4. Monitor infusion rates carefully
![Page 30: Fluid Volume Disturbances](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061421/5536bf6a4a795911168b4b61/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
5. Irrigate NGT with NSS (use of hypotonic flds may lead to fluid volume excess)
6. Provide safe env’t and SZ precautions if with behavioral changes
7. Monitor patients who are taking large amounts of water p.o., rectally, or IV for s/sx of water intoxication
![Page 31: Fluid Volume Disturbances](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061421/5536bf6a4a795911168b4b61/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
5. Third space fluid 5. Third space fluid shiftshift
• Fluid shifts into interstitial space and remains there
Other potential spaces:
pleural space, pericardial space
peritoneum
• Reflects inability of lymphatic system to circulate
• a manifestation, not a disease• Acute and serious problem
![Page 32: Fluid Volume Disturbances](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061421/5536bf6a4a795911168b4b61/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
cause• ↑ hydrostatic pressure
• ↑ capillary permeability
• ↓ plasma CHONS
• Venous obstruction at capillary level
• Nonfunctional lymphatic drainage
Rapid fluid administration, fluid overload
Inflammatory or allergic reactions, sepsis
Liver/kidney dse, burns, malnutrition
Venous thrombosis
Post-removal of lymph nodes
![Page 33: Fluid Volume Disturbances](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061421/5536bf6a4a795911168b4b61/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
2 phases of fluid shift
1. Vascular to interstitial
(risk for hypovolemia and vascular collapse)
2. Interstitial to vascular once capillary has healed
(risk for fld vol excess, CHF, hypokalemia)
s/sx
• No change in wt
• pallor, cool extremities, oliguria; weak, rapid pulse; ↓ BP; ↓ LOC
• s/sx of organ or nerve compression
• ↑ BUN, Hct, Na+, ↑ urine Sp. Gr.
• Bounding pulse, crackles, engorgement of veins in periphery, JVD, HPN
• ↓ Hct, BUN
![Page 34: Fluid Volume Disturbances](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061421/5536bf6a4a795911168b4b61/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Management
1. Identify and tx underlying cause
2. Pericardiocentesis, thoracentesis, paracentesis to remove fluid
3. Restore fluidsa. Isotonic fld to replace intravascular volume
- IV infusion will not resolve the problem
b. Albumin (once capillary has healed) to promote restoration of oncotic pressure
-

Nursing management
1. Monitor v/s q hr if with shock-like symptoms
2. Monitor IV fluid replacement needs- Monitor for s/sx of hypervolemia
3. Measure abdominal girth q8hrs, leg circumference
4. Assess peripheral pulses
5. Prevent skin breakdown
6. MIO qhr; report if UO <0.5ml/kg/hr for 2 consecutive hours
