What is the shift of intravascular fluid to the interstitial space called?
Third space fluid loss
A compartment within the body?
intracellular fluid compartment and extracellular fluid compartment
Why would someone need a hypertonic?
A hypertonic is needed when a patient is experiencing brain swelling. This in turn increases the intravascular osmolality and pulls fluid out of the tissues.
Is cerebrospinal fluid found in the frontal sinus?
No, cerebrospinal fluid is not normally found in the sinuses.
Where can one learn more about synovial fluid?
Synovial fluid is a type of fluid that can be found in the body's joints. Information on synovial fluid can be found at medical websites including Web MB and Mayo Clinic.
What is the shift of intravascular fluid to the interstitial space called?
Third space fluid loss
Urine is from extracellular fluid?
Yes. Urine is intravascular fluid. That said the body can crenate cells to create intravascular fluid from intracellular fluid. This usually is short term but common in chronic dehydration. Elevated K+ in a malnourished person is hallmark of cellular dehydration.
Is blood plasma extracellular or intracellular?
It is the intravascular fluid part of extracellular fluid (all body fluid outside of cells)
What is the definition of fluid bolus?
A fluid bolus is the rapid administration of IV fluid (ex. normal saline or lactated ringers) given to increase intravascular volume.
The client was admitted to the hospital for dehydration Explain what changes occur in extracellular and intracellular fluid compartments during dehydration?
Fluid is lost from the intracellular compartment due to sweating which is replaced by fluid from the interstitial compartment by osmosis which then pulls fluid from the intravascular compartment by osmosis.
Why fascioliasis patients have submandibular edema?
Fasciola is a blood sucking parasite, it sucks 0.5ml blood/fluke/day. During sucking it removes plasma proteins, albumin. This results in fluid balance disturbance. Normally there is a balance between intravascular space and extravascular space. However, when albumin are lost from intravascular space by effect of fasciola, it will become less concentrated where as the fluid content become high. The fluid content become lower in extravascular space or interstitial tissues as compared to intravascular. Therefore, fluid move from intravascularspace to interstitial tissues. Due to gravity oedema occur in the ventral or mandibular area.
A compartment within the body?
intracellular fluid compartment and extracellular fluid compartment
Why would someone need a hypertonic?
A hypertonic is needed when a patient is experiencing brain swelling. This in turn increases the intravascular osmolality and pulls fluid out of the tissues.
What is the reason why there is hypoperfusion in acute renal failure?
due to extracellular fluid volume depletion like the case of ascites(loss of intravascular fluid into the extravascular space), renal salt & water wasting states like diarrhea & vomiting
Why is there hyponatremia in burn patients?
After a person is severely burned, there is a massive shift in fluids from the intravascular space to the interstitial. As the fluid moves out, sodium moves with it causing a decrease in sodium in the blood stream - hyponatremia.
Who is at risk deficient fluid volume?
Definition: Decreased intravascular, interstitial, and/or intracellular fluid. This refers to dehydration, water loss alone without change in sodiumFluid volume deficit, or hypovolemia, occurs from a loss of body fluid or the shift of fluids into the third space, or from a reduced fluid intake. Common sources for fluid loss are the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, polyuria, and increased perspiration.See related links.
Is cerebrospinal fluid found in the frontal sinus?
No, cerebrospinal fluid is not normally found in the sinuses.
