  1. Fluids and ElectrolytesSeptember 10, 2008 Karen Koo, PGY5 Chief Critical Care Medicine Fellow Division of Critical Care Medicine McMaster University, Hamilton ON

  2. Objectives • Major Body Fluid Compartments • Review of physiology of volume regulation • Parenteral Fluid Therapy • Cases of Electrolyte imbalances

  3. Relationship between the volumes of major fluid compartments

  4. Composition body fluid compartments

  5. Daily Fluid Requirements • Average Adult needs: H2O ~ 30-35ml/kg/hr (2-3 liters/day) Na+ ~ 1 ml/kg/hr K+ ~ 1 ml/kg/hr Cl- ~ 1.5 ml/kg/hr

  6. Sources of daily water loss • Urine 1200-1500 ml/d (30ml/hr) • Sweat 200-400 ml/d • Lungs 500ml/d • Feces 100-200 ml/d

  7. Composition of GI Secretions * Average concentration: mmol/L

  8. Daily Electrolyte loss Na+ 100 mEq K+ 100 mEq Cl- 150 mEq

  9. Quiz #1: • True or False statements Concerning body fluid compartments: a) Water constitutes 70% of the total body weight b) Plasma constitutes a quarter of the ECF volume d) Interstitial fluid volume for a 70 kg man is approximately 9 litres e) The ECF/ICF volume ratio is smaller in infants and children than it is in adults

  10. Regulation ofFluids

  11. Regulation of Fluids • Renal sympathetic nerves • Renin-angiotensin- • aldosterone system • Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP)

  12. Parenteral Fluid Therapy Crystalloids • Na+  main osmotically active particle • useful for volume expansion (mainly interstitial space) • for maintenance infusion • correction of electrolyte abnormality

  13. Crystalloids • Isotonic crystalloids - Lactated Ringer’s, 0.9% NaCl - 25% remain intravascularly • Hypertonic saline solutions - 3% NaCl • Hypotonic solutions - D5W, 0.45% NaCl - < 10% remain intra- vascularly, inadequate for fluid resuscitation

  14. Colloid Solutions • Contain high molecular weight substancesdo not readily migrate across capillary walls • Preparations - Albumin: 5%, 25% - Hydoxyethyl starches ie pentaspan - Red cell concentrates - platelets, plasma

  15. Distribution of Parenteral Fluids

  16. Composition of Parenteral Fluids

  17. Quiz #2: • 70F has small-bowel fistula with output of 1.5L/d. Replacement of daily losses should be handled using the fluid solution that has the following composition: Na K Cl HCO3 a) 130 4 109 28 b) 154 0 154 40 c) 77 0 77 0 e) 513 0 513 0

  18. Quiz #3: • 68M admitted with diagnosis of partial SBO with Hx of Chrons Disease vomits bilious coloured emesis. His is lethargic. 37C, 88/50 mmHg, HR 110, RR 25, SpO2 99 on 2Lnp JVP flat, chest clear with normal heart sounds Abd distended & mild epigastric tenderness Na 130, Cl 108, K 5.1, Cr 110, BUN 10.2 Hg 100, WBC 9.9, Plts 400, INR 1.5, APTT 30

  19. Quiz #3: • Your staff asks you to see this patient. What is the most appropriate resusitation fluid: a) 1 unit of packed RBC b) 500 ml of Ringers Lactate solution c) 500ml 5% albumin d) 500ml Pentaspan e) 500ml 0.9% normal saline

  20. SAFE Study (NEMJ 2004:350 Safe Investigators) • RCT: 4% albumin vs normal saline for intravascular-fluid resuscitation • Primary outcome: 28 day all cause mortality • N = 6997 patients • No significant differences • 726 deaths albumin group vs 729 deaths saline group (RR 0.99; 95% CI 0.91 to 1.09; P=0.87 • numbers of days spent in the ICU or in the hospital • days of mechanical ventilation • days of renal-replacement therapy

  21. 28% day Kaplan–Meier Estimates Probability of Survival: normal saline vs 4% albumin(NEMJ 2004:350 Safe Investigators)

  22. RR of Death among the Patients in the Six Predefined Subgroups(NEMJ 2004:350 Safe Investigators)

  23. Colloid solutions for fluid resuscitation(Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2008) • Seventy RCTs comparing colloid solutions in critically ill and surgical patients thought to need volume replacement, • N = 4375 participants • Albumin versus hydroxyethyl starch pooled RR 1.14 (95% CI 0.91 to 1.43) for mortality • albumin versus dextran (RR= 3.75 95% CI 0.42 to 33.09). • no evidence that one colloid solution is more effective or safe than any other

  24. Calculation of Maintenance Fluids • For a 24 hr period, use 100/50/20 Rule 100ml/kg for first 10kg 50ml/kg for next 10kg 20ml/kg for every kg over 20 • For hourly maintenance rate, use 4/2/1 Rule 4ml/kg for first 10kg 2ml/kg for next 10kg 1ml/kg for every kg over 20

  25. Quiz #4 • 55M has been admitted for an elective resection of a pelvic mass. He is NPO for the next 12 hours. He weighs 70kg and has normal renal function. What is the most appropriate iv maintenance rate? • 0.9% NS at 200ml/hr • 0.45% NS/D5W at 100ml/hr • D5W at 100ml/hr • Ringer’s Lactate at 50ml/hr

  40. Things you don't want to hear during surgery: • 5. Damn, there go the lights again... • 4. "You know, there's big money in kidneys. Heck, the guy's got two of them." • 3. Everybody stand back! I lost my contact lens! • 2. This patient has already had some kids, am I correct? • 1. Nurse, did this patient sign the organ donor card?
