Vascular System 2. Capillary Membrane 3. Interstitial Area 4. Cell Membrane Osmolality Imbalance the blood is too concentrated/dilute Labs to Measure Osmolality Osmolality Specific- most accurate!! Urine Specific Gravity- Hgb & Hct- the higher the Hct, the higher the osmolality Sodium levels- water follows salt!! If sodium is elevated, then osmolality is elevated Types of IV Fluids
Hypertonic Solution - Concentrated and usually given when Blood Osmolality is Low - Combination of Dextrose & Saline together W/ Water makes these fluids hypertonic - Help draw fluid back into the Vascular Space= decreasing edema - Low Blood Osmolality + Hypertonic Fluid = Isotonic Blood - D5 NaCl - D5 LR - D5 0.45% NaCl Isotonic Solution - Used for dehydration - Equal balance Particles and Water - Normal Blood Osmolality + Isotonic Fluid = No change in Isotonic Blood -0.9% NaCl - LR Hypotonic Solution - Lower concentration then water - High Blood Osmolality + Hypotonic Fluid = Isotonic blood - 0.25% NaCl - 0.45% NaCl - 2.5% Dextrose - 5% dextrose Dextrose contains glucose that is metabolized by the body, making the rest of the water in the bag plain. Thus, IV fluid become more hypotonic once given Why Flush an IV ? - Ensure patency - Ensure there is no infiltration/ Extraversion - No leaks around or on the Hub of the dressing Flush with 10 mL NaCl Gauges 18G : green - used for Trauma / Blood transfusion - Flow rate 120ml/min 20G : pink - normal adult IV - Flow rate 80mL/min 22G ; Blue - used for small veins/ children/ elderly - Flow rate 56mL/min 24G ; yellow - neonatal/ elderly -flow rate 36mL/min
