1. IV fluids and you Michael J Ryan, MD
nephrologist.
2. Goals Review body fluid compartments.
Review effects of addition of salt, water to the body
Cases
7. What happens if you infuse isotonic saline into a normal person?
9. You drink 3 L of water as part of a bet
Q: What if you add water to a person?
13. Case You decide to go to Mexico prior to starting your internship.
You get diarrhea.
Lots of it
Q: what does ECV depletion look like?
16. What if it is an osmotic diarrhea, and you dont keep up with water losses?
18. How do we measure the ICV of the patient?
19. Trick Question! We dont measure the ICV in patients
We do take note of changes in the size of the ICV
ICV is determined by osmolality
Osmolality in the cell = osmolality outside the cell
Na+ is the major determinant of the extracellular osmolality
Serum [Na+] indicates changes in ICV
23. How do you measure the ECV? History
24. History
25. How do you measure ECV? PE.
Weights
Posturals
Neck veins
Dry axilla
26. Clinical Guidelines for Estimating ECV Loss
27. What about FeNa+?
28. How best to correct ECV depletion Hetastarch?
May improve physiology in inflammation
Alslo may adversely affect clotting
Max recommended dose: 20ml/kg/d
29. Albumin
Expensive
Risk of infection
Recent meta-analysis: Albumin no better than crystalloid
How best to correct ECV depletion
30. What about giving half normal saline? Half-isotonic saline causes both hypo-osmolality and volume expansion.
Like giving 500 saline, and 500 CC D5W
31. Who cares?
33. Hypernatremia - Ungood Common
Iatrogenic
Mortality increase by 2-7 fold
34. Fluid Management General Steps:
Good History: Hx of Loss of Salt Water, Weight Loss/Gain (Quantify) etc.
Review Medications: Diuretic, Lithium etc.
Good Physical Exam: weights, BP, HR, Orthostatic Changes, Neck Veins, Chest Exam, Heart Exam, Presence of Fluid
Review the Lab Values Carefully
35. Case 31 year old admitted to the hospital
CC: inability to pass a kidney stone.
Cysto planned for the AM.
PE: normal BP. No edema nl. urine output
[Na+] = 140
NPO after MN.
Q: what IVF do you prescribe?
36. Usual reasons for IV fluids Defend the normal BP
Return the ICF to normal
Replace ongoing renal losses
Give maintenance fluids to match insensible losses
Glucose as a fuel for the brain

40. 2. Basic allowance Heat is produced continuously
Dissipated by evaporation (sweat)
H2O lost via lungs
41. Maintenance Fluid Allowancefor Normal ECV State/NPO
42. Plan Therapy Correction:
Correction is to be Slow
Often Correcting Underlying Problem would Correct Other Abnormality
For Example, Correcting NaCl & KCl & Volume Depletion in Metabolic Alkalosis would also Correct Metabolic Alkalosis.

46. Thats it!!! Caveats:
It is important to check the [Na+] frequently
47. Case A Patient Admitted from Nursing Home in a Confused State. He has been somnolent for 3 days. His BP is normal. There is No Edema, Lungs are Clear, Heart Normal.
In Last 24 Hrs. He has made 1 liter of Urine
His blood test shows:
Na 155 mEq/l (Normal 135 145)
Blood Glucose Normal (80 mg/dl)
K Normal (4.0), HCO3 Normal (28), Cl (117)
Anion Gap Normal (155 (117 + 28) = 10

She treats it with cranberry juice.
Then develops fever chills flank pain.
Her friends told her to drink lots of water.
