Fluid and electrolytes
• Homeostasis- integrated action of cellular membrane,
specific organs , local and systemic hormones
• Diseases, trauma, surgery & medications-
can adversely affect the equilibrium
![Page 5: Fluid and electrolytes, acid base balance, AND IV fluids Prof. M K Alam MS; FRCS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070323/56649d9e5503460f94a87d65/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Fluid and electrolytes
Total body water (TBW)
• 60% of body weight (range 50-70%)
• Contained primarily in skeletal muscle
• Slightly higher in men
• Declines steadily with age
• Obese has less body water (Fat is devoid of water)
![Page 6: Fluid and electrolytes, acid base balance, AND IV fluids Prof. M K Alam MS; FRCS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070323/56649d9e5503460f94a87d65/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Fluid Compartments
• Intracellular - 40% of body weight
• Extracellular- 20% of body weight
- Interstitium 15%,
- Intravascular or plasma 5%
• Compartments separated by semipermeable
membrane to maintain the composition differences

Fluid and electrolytes
• Regulation of fluid volume mainly by kidney
• Osmoreceptors in posterior Pituitary: ADH release promote retention
of free water by distal renal tubules & collecting ducts.
• Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system: Acting on kidney increases
water &Na⁺ reabsorption, K⁺ & H⁺ excretion by distal renal tubules.
• Baroreceptors in kidney & carotid: Small role

Hyponatremia
• Hypervolemic: Renal failure-↓water loss, CCF, Cirrhosis, COPD- ↓CO → ↑water absorption.
• Normovolemic: Urinary Na⁺ loss in Syndrome of inappropriate secretion of ADH (SIADH) -head injury, stroke, carcinoma lung
• Hypovolemic: Hypotonic solutions infusion, Loss of Na⁺ in renal disease- urinary Na⁺ ↑20mEq/L
![Page 22: Fluid and electrolytes, acid base balance, AND IV fluids Prof. M K Alam MS; FRCS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070323/56649d9e5503460f94a87d65/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Hyponatremia• Symptoms: Na⁺ ˂120 mEq/L
Lethargy, confusion, seizures, anorexia, vomiting, coma
• TSD (total Na⁺ deficit)= 0.6 x wt. in kg x(140- actual Na⁺ level) Deficit correction 0.5 mEq/L/ hr. Rapid correction leads to myelin sheath damage
• Treatment: Severe symptoms- rapid correction to 120 mEq/ L, then slowly.
Hypervolemic- fluid restriction, loop diuretics SIADH- fluid restriction + loop diuretic + vasopressin 2 antagonist Hypovolemic- normal saline
![Page 23: Fluid and electrolytes, acid base balance, AND IV fluids Prof. M K Alam MS; FRCS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070323/56649d9e5503460f94a87d65/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Hypernatremia
• Aetiology: - Excess salt intake or reduced salt loss - Reduced water intake or excess water loss
• Types: - Hypernatremia with volume depletion most common, - Hypernatremia with volume excess or normal volume
• Pathophysiology: - Net Na⁺ gain (hyperosmolar state) leads to water shift from
intracellular to extracellular space (intracellular dehydration)- Hyperosmolar state leads to thirst & ADH release
![Page 24: Fluid and electrolytes, acid base balance, AND IV fluids Prof. M K Alam MS; FRCS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070323/56649d9e5503460f94a87d65/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Calcium Homeostasis
• 99% body Ca⁺- in bone, not readily exchangeable
• Homeostasis- exchange between bone and ECF, renal excretion, and
intestinal absorption
• Homeostasis mainly controlled by PTH
• Plasma calcium: 10 mg/dl.
• ECF Ca⁺: Ionized, Non-ionized, Protein-bound
![Page 33: Fluid and electrolytes, acid base balance, AND IV fluids Prof. M K Alam MS; FRCS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070323/56649d9e5503460f94a87d65/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Calcium Homeostasis
• Low ionized Ca⁺ → ↑ PTH and ↑ 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3
Both stimulate bone absorption by increasing osteoclastic activity
• Increased ionized ca → ↓ PTH and ↓1,25-dihydroxyvitamin
D3, which decreases bone absorption
• Intestinal absorption- primarily on 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D3,
• Renal excretion: PTH and vitamin D increases distal tubular
reabsorption of calcium. Calcitonin inhibits calcium reabsorption
• Alkalosis ↑ ca excretion, acidosis ↓excretion
![Page 34: Fluid and electrolytes, acid base balance, AND IV fluids Prof. M K Alam MS; FRCS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070323/56649d9e5503460f94a87d65/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

ACID-BASE BALANCE
![Page 44: Fluid and electrolytes, acid base balance, AND IV fluids Prof. M K Alam MS; FRCS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070323/56649d9e5503460f94a87d65/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
ACID-BASE System
• Acid: donate a H⁺ ion – HCl , H2CO3
• Base: accept a H⁺ -HCO3
• Acid-base homeostasis: equilibrium in H+, PCO2, and HCO3-
• H+ concentration - expressed as pH
• Normal pH - 7.35 to 7.45
• Acidemia - pH < 7.35
• Alkalemia- pH > 7.45
![Page 45: Fluid and electrolytes, acid base balance, AND IV fluids Prof. M K Alam MS; FRCS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070323/56649d9e5503460f94a87d65/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Acid-base disturbance
• Acidosis- respiratory, metabolic.
• Alkalosis- respiratory , metabolic
• Assessment- arterial blood gas analysis (radial artery)
• Normal ABG report: pH- 7.36- 7.44 H⁺- 44-36 nml/L HCO₃- 23-28 mmol/L pCO₂- 36-44 mmHg (4.8-5.9 kPa) pO₂- 80- 100 mmHg (10.6- 13.3 kPa)

Acid-base disturbance
Compensatory mechanisms:
1. Respiratory compensation- most rapid (minutes)
2. Blood buffers (in hours)
Blood buffers - bicarbonate (65%)- most important, protein 30%
Respiratory system.
Kidneys.
3. Kidney (days)
![Page 47: Fluid and electrolytes, acid base balance, AND IV fluids Prof. M K Alam MS; FRCS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070323/56649d9e5503460f94a87d65/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Metabolic acidosis
• ↓ pH, ↓ bicarbonate concentration.
• Increased production of endogenous acids ( increased anion gap acidosis) - shock, severe hemorrhage, liver failure, diabetic ketoacidosis.
• Increased bicarbonate loss (normal anion gap acidosis)- diarrhoea, intestinal fistula.
• Respiratory compensation- fall in pCO₂ - resp. alkalosis
• Treatment: Fluid resuscitation, base deficit correction by bicarbonate
![Page 48: Fluid and electrolytes, acid base balance, AND IV fluids Prof. M K Alam MS; FRCS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070323/56649d9e5503460f94a87d65/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Metabolic alkalosis
• ↑ pH, ↑ bicarbonate concentration.
• Respiratory compensation - ↑pCO₂ - resp. acidosis
• Associated with hypokalemia, hypochloraemia.
• Aetiology: Loss of acid as vomitus in gastric outlet obstruction.
• Treatment: Replace fluid, K⁺ and chloride and treatment of
primary cause

Respiratory acidosis
• ↑pCO₂, ↑plasma bicarbonate, ↓pH
• Respiratory depression (head injury, opioids drugs)
• Pulmonary disease (asthma, COPD)
• Metabolic compensation- renal bicarbonate retention.
• Treatment: Ventilatory support.

Respiratory alkalosis
• Result of hyperventilation- pain, hysterical hyperventilation,
CNS disorders, salicylate poisoning, liver failure.
• ↑pH, ↓pCO₂
• May develop tetany- ↓ ionized Ca⁺ due to alkalosis.
• No specific treatment

Types of intravenous fluid
• 5% Dextrose: 5Gm dextrose/ 100 ml, isotonic, not useful in resuscitation.
• 10, 20 & 50 % Dextrose:- Hypertonic , used for diabetics or hypoglycemics.
• Normal saline: 0.9% NaCl, 9Gm NaCl in 1L (Na 154 mmol), pH 5.
• Ringer’s lactate (Hartman’s): < NaCl ( Na 131 mmol) + K⁺, HCO₃, Ca⁺ & Mg⁺, pH 6.5
• NS & RL: For replacing ECF loss. RL closely match ECF and less risk of hyperchloremia.
• Hypertonic saline: Used for hyponatraemic seizures, cerebral oedema.
• Dextrose Saline: 5% Dextrose with N saline- hypertonic, used with caution.
4.3% Dextrose with 1/5 N saline more safe.
• Colloids: Albumin (4.5%), gelatin, hydroxyethyl starch [HES], dextran- all stay longer in
intravascular space after resuscitation. Side effects- coagulopathy, pruritus, anaphylactic
reaction

Maintenance fluid & electrolyte in 24 hours
Example for an adult in normal condition:
• Normal saline: 500- 1000 ml +
• 5% Dextrose: 2 L- 2.5 L +
• Potassium chloride: 60-80 mmol added to IV fluids.
• Adjust according to intake/output, and serum
electrolytes result.
