 Total body water is ____ of the body weight | 60% |
| What is the total body water distribution between ICF and ECF? | ICF: 40% of body weight ECF: 20% of body weight |
| How much of the ECF is divided into interstitial volume vs. blood volume | Interstitial: 12% of body weight Blood: 8% of body weight |
| How do you assess dehydration? | tachycardia, reduced jug fill, cold extremities, tacky MM, sunken eyes |
| How much maintenance fluids to adult horses need? foals? | 60 ml/kg/day adults 100 mg/kg/day foals |
| How much oral fluids can be given at one time? | 4-6 L in 30-60 min |
| What is the shock dose for an adult horse? | 60-80 ml/kg/hr usually give half the shock dose & reassess in 1 hr |
| 5 types of crystalloid fluids | 0.9% NaCl LRS Plasmalyte 5% dextrose 5% NaHCO3 |
| Which crystalloid fluids contain Na? | Everything but 5% dextrose |
| Which crystalloid fluids contain Cl? | 0.9% NaCl LRS Plasmalyte |
| Which crystalloid fluids contain K? | LRS Plasmalyte |
| Which crystalloid fluids contain Ca? | LRS |
| Which crystalloid fluids contain Mg? | Plasmalyte |
| Which 2 crystalloid fluids are alkalinizing? | LRS Plasmalyte |
| If suspect lactic acidosis, what should you do first before giving HCO3? | Rehydrate with LRS & then reassess most will not need supplementation |
| How would calculate HCO3 deficit? | (24-HCO3) x Vd x body weight Vd is usually 0.4 or 0.5 replace 1/2 in first 1-2 hrs, then reassess. Give rest if needed over next 12-24 hrs |
| If you going to give bicarb, what shouldn't the fluids contain? | Ca2+ will precipitate out together |
| What is hypertonic saline used for? | Expansion of intravascular volume quickly should be followed by oral or IV isotonic fluids |
| How do replacement & maintenance fluids differ? | Replacement: same conc. of electrolytes as ECF Maintenance: less Na and more Ca, Mg & K |
| When are colloid fluids used? | in patients with hypoalbuminemia |
| Which colloid will have more effect on albumin concentrations: plasma or hetastarch? | Hetastarch only increases oncotic pressure, but doesn't actually add to the albumin concentrations |
| What are the 2 most common acid/base abnormalities associated with GI dz? | Metabolic acidosis: lactic acidosis due to tissue hypoxia, or loss of HCO3 in feces Metabolic alkalosis: proximal enteritis, V+ |
