Chronic Renal Failure CRF

Type of dialysis: Hemodialysis: Purpose: pull fluid and electrolytes to help maintain homeostasis by removing waste and toxic material. But this can cause disequilibrium syndrome r/t pulling of solute and rapid shift of fluid from body/brain cell. Hold blood pressure medication before the patient receives dialysis. Re-assessed BP after dialysis. Peritoneal Dialysis Does not requireContinue reading “Chronic Renal Failure CRF”

Isotonic Fluid Solution

Isotonic Fluid: 0.9% Sodium Chloride, Lactated Ringer, and 5% Dextrose in water D5W 0.9 % Sodium Chloride ( Normal Saline) Na+ 154 mEQ / LCl− 154 mEq/L(308 mOsm/L) The only solution is given w/ blood productSame tonicity as the plasma (human) ( prevention hypertonicity/hypotonicity)Used to expand the ECF volume. shock, hypovolemic state, resuscitation, DM ketoacidosis,Continue reading “Isotonic Fluid Solution”

Hypovolemic

Hypovolemic is also known as Fluid Volume Deficit occur when the loss of water and electrolyte; blood loss, burn, diarrhea vomiting/emesis, pyrexia, diaphoresis, GI suction, third space shift, decrease intake, diabetes inspidus, and uncontrolled DM. common cause: severe dehydration, rapid fluid loss (GI, blood, polyuria), and vasodilation. S/s: poor tissue perfusion, LOC, mucus membrane discoloration,Continue reading “Hypovolemic”

Aterial Blood Gas / ABG Scale

PH Normal Value: 7.35- 7.45 PCo2 ( Respiratory Component) Normal Value: 35-45 HCO3 ( Metabolic Component) Normal Value: 22-26 Decrease = Acidic Decrease = Alkaline Decrease = Acidic Increase = Alkaline Increase = Acidic Increase = Alkaline Respiratory  value increase/decrease opposite PH Example: decrease ph and increase PCO3 indicate respiratory acidosis PH ↑ PC02 ↓Continue reading “Aterial Blood Gas / ABG Scale”

Fluid-Balance Term

acidosis:an acid–base imbalance characterized by an increase in H+ concentration (decreased blood pH) (A low arterial pH due to reduced bicarbonate concentration is called metabolic acidosis; a low arterial pH due to increased PCO2 is called respiratory acidosis.) ascites: a type of edema in which fluid accumulates in the peritoneal cavity active transport: physiologic pump that moves fluid fromContinue reading “Fluid-Balance Term”
