  2. Review relevant physiology IV fluid preparations Clinical Assessment of fluid balance IV fluid strategies Special circumstances Practice scenarios Objectives

  3. Physiology

  4. Body Fluid Compartments • Total Body water is: • 60% of total body weight in males • 55% of total body weight in females

  5. Body Fluid Compartments • 70Kg Man Solids (40%) ⅓ Interstitial fluid 11 Litres Water (60%) 42 Litres ECF 14 Litres Plasma 3 Litres ⅔ ICF 28 Litres

  6. Body fluid compartments

  7. Insensible losses 1000ml Daily Input Vs Output

  8. Electrolyte Composition of fluid Compartments

  9. 3rd space losses • 1st Spacing: Normal distribution within ECF and ICF • 2nd spacing: accumulation within the interstitial compartments: oedema formation but available for physiological exchange between compartments • 3rd spacing: Accumulation in parts of the body where it’s not available for exchange between the different compartments: Ascitis, tissue inflammation, oedema from burns/surgery

  10. IV Fluid Types

  11. IV fluid types • Crystalloids • Colloids • Synthetic • Human

  12. Crystalloid • “A substance in solution that can diffuse through a semipermeable membrane” • Electrolyte-containing solutions that are formulated to match to a greater or lesser extent the biochemical & osmotic features of the plasma • They do not contain high molecular weight compounds

  13. Crystalloids • Examples • 0.9% Saline (Normal saline) • Hartmann’s (compound sodium lactate) • Glucose containing solutions • 5% Glucose • 10% Glucose • Dex-saline • 4% glucose & 0.18% saline • 5% glucose & 0.45% saline

  14. Crystalloids composition

  15. Colloids • Solutions that contain high molecular weight proteins as well as electrolytes • Unable to diffuse through normal capillary membranes

  16. Colloids • Examples • Gelatin-based • Gelofusine • Haemaccel • Hydroxyethyl starches (HES) • Pentastarch • 5% - Hemohes • 10% - HAES-steril • Tetrastarch - 6% (HES) • Voluven • Volulyte • Dextran 70 • Rescuflow • Human albumin solutions • HAS 5% • HAS 20% Max 1.5l / 24hr Max 2.5l / 24hr 50ml/kg/24hr (3.5l) Use in trauma, (Max 1l) 250ml followed by isotonic fluids Severe allergic reactions, coagulation effects

  17. Colloid composition

  18. Distribution of IV fluids Colloid 5% Dextrose 0.9% Saline

  19. Balanced vs unbalanced solutions • Large volumes of 0.9% saline based products have been shown to cause hyperchloraemic acidosis • Balanced solutions e.g Hartmanns, volulyte are now becoming more popular

  20. Basis of IV fluid therapy • Does my patient need IV fluid therapy? • Why does my patient need IV fluid therapy? • Maintenance • To supply daily needs • Replacement • To replace on-going losses • Resuscitation • To correct an intravascular or extracellular deficit

  21. Assessment of Fluid balance

  22. Definitions • Dehydration • the loss of water and salts essential for normal body function. • Hypovolaemia • Decreased circulating plasma volume • Shock • Systemic hypoperfusion & tissue hypoxia

  23. Types of shock • Hypovolaemic • Cardiogenic • Septic (distributive) • Obstructive

  24. Causes of dehydration / hypovolaemia • Increased loss • Pyrexia • Vomiting • Diarrhoea • 3rd space loses – peritonitis / ascites / sepsis • Diuretics • Metabolic derangements e.g diabetes mellitus • Diabetes insipidus • Blood loss • Reduced intake

  25. Presentation of dehydration

  26. Patient observations • General ward • HR • BP • Temp • RR • Urine output (oliguria = <0.5ml/kg/hr (30ml/hr) • Critical care • IABP • CVP • CO monitoring

  27. Electrolyte losses

  28. Input/output monitoring

  29. Fluid replacement strategies

  30. Basis of IV fluid therapy • Does my patient need IV fluid therapy? • Why does my patient need IV fluid therapy? • Maintenance • To supply daily needs • Replacement • To replace on-going losses • Resuscitation • To correct an intravascular or extracellular deficit

  31. Maintenance Daily Requirement for 70kg man Fluid 2-3L Sodium – 70 – 105 mmol Potassium – 56 – 70 mmol

  32. Maintenance regimens • Traditional approach • 1 “salt” + 2 “sweet” • Potassium replacement guided by plasma levels but if normal - replace with daily requirements (60mmol)

  33. Exercise 1 • Tom Jones - 70Kg man, NBM, No extra losses • Hospital number M10/5678 • DOB 12/12/1962 • Ward 12 • Serum potassium 3.8mmol/l Prescribe maintenance fluids for the next 24 hrs 1 x 1000mls 0.9% saline with 20mmol potassium chloride 2 x 1000mls 5 % dextrose with 20mmol potassium chloride

  34. Exercise 1 - Answer

  35. Replacement fluids • Maintenance plus replacement of on-going losses • Consider the type of loss & it’s likely electrolyte content

  36. Electrolyte losses

  37. Replacement example

  38. Resuscitation • Treating deficit of intravascular or extracellular volume • Caution • Renal impairment • “pump failure” – reduced LV function

  39. Exercise 2 • Tom Jones – • Hospital number M10/5678 • DOB 12/12/1962 • Ward 12 Day 3 Post-op laparotomy & ileostomy – minimal output from ileostomy HR – 118 BP –85/60 RR 22 T 38.50C Urine output 10mls/hr Currently has 1000mls 5%Glucose with 20mmol KCL running over 8hrs Prescribe appropriate fluids for the immediate period Fluid bags available in store cupboard: 1000mls 0.9% Saline 1000mls 5% Glucose 1000mls Hartmanns 1000mls 0.9% saline with 20mmol KCL 1000ml 5% dextrose with 20mmol KCL 500ml Gelofusine

  40. Exercise 3 - example

  41. Crystalloids vs colloids • Controversial • Crystalloids require more volume • 5L crystalloid replaces 1L intravascular loss • Colloids • Higher incidence of allergic reactions • Compounds persist in the body • Solutions containing 0.9% saline – risk of hyperchloraemic acidosis in large volumes

  42. Resuscitation • Do not use dextrose containing solutions • Take care with potassium containing solutions

  43. Guidelines www.bapen.org.uk/pdfs/bapen_pubs/giftasup.pdf Forthcoming NICE guidelines – IV fluids in Hospitalised patients

  44. Special circumstances - Paediatrics • Maintenance fluids (4,2,1 rule) • 4ml/kg/hr for 1st 10kg • 2ml/kg/hr for 2nd 10kg • 1ml/kg/hr for remaining weight • E.g 24kg child • (4x10) + (2x10) + (1x4) = 64ml/hr • Dehydration (maintenance + estimated deficit) • %dehydration x wt x 10 • E.g above child with 5% dehydration • 5 x 24 x 10 = 1200ml – to replace over 24hrs 1200/24 = 50mls/hr • Therefore Maintenance + deficit = 64+50 = 104mls/hr

  45. Special circumstances - Burns • Parklands formula • 4ml/kg x % burned body surface area • ½ volume given over 1st 8 hours • ½ volume given over subsequent 16 hours • E.g 70kg man with 25% burns • (4x70) x 25 = 7000ml • (7000/2) / 8 = 438mls/hr (for 1st 8 hrs) • (7000/2) / 16 = 218 mls/hr (for subsequent 16 hrs)

  46. Exams • Popular OSCE station in Year 5 • Involves choice of fluid & prescribing • Often twinned with practical skill • I:e changing bag (remember to do appropriate checks incl exp date) • Calculating & setting drip rate – most giving sets 20 drops = 1ml

  47. Calculating drip rate • Most giving sets – 20 drops = 1ml Volume (mls) STEP 1 STEP 2 As 20÷60 = ⅓ STEP 2 & STEP3 can be combined mls/hr x ⅓ = drops/min mls/hr mls/min = = mls/hr Time (hrs) 60 Mls/min x 20 = drops per min STEP 3

  48. Exercise - Calculating drip rate • 1000mls over 8 hours 1000 (mls) STEP 1 STEP 2 As 20÷60 = ⅓ STEP 2 & STEP3 can be combined mls/hr x ⅓ = drops/min 125mls/hr 2 mls/min = = 125mls/hr 8 (hrs) 60 2 mls/min x 20 = 40 drops per min STEP 3
