show severe, generalized third spacing  
🗑
most common site, 3rd spacing   show
🗑
primary mediator of fluids   show
🗑
show stage where fluid moves from one space to another  
🗑
3rd spacing   show
🗑
show normal to high (hemoconcentration)  
🗑
FVD potassium   show
🗑
show high (hemoconcentration); in children may be low but not pathologic  
🗑
FVD glucose   show
🗑
FVD urine specific gravity   show
🗑
show >300, more particles ↑ number of particles, concentration  
🗑
show full bounding pulses, hypertension, increased CVP, neck vein distension, CHF  
🗑
cerebral edema   show
🗑
pulmonary edema   show
🗑
show weight gain, nonpitting interstitial edema, hepatomegaly/splenomegaly  
🗑
FVE first sign seen   show
🗑
show sign of FVE but not seen in kids, make sure know baseline for adults  
🗑
show prevent cerebral edema  
🗑
>>> causes of FVE (10)   show
🗑
show excessive hypertonic fluids, binge drinking contest, psych disorders, drowning in fresh water, inappropriate dialysis  
🗑
show normal to high (potassium shift out of cells, rasing levels)  
🗑
show very low, <125  
🗑
FVE, BUN   show
🗑
show low, <1.005  
🗑
show normal to high (stress response, >120)  
🗑
decreased sodium and potassium signs   show
🗑
increased sodium and potassium signs   show
🗑
acid   show
🗑
base   show
🗑
show prevent major acid-base changes; carbonic acid-bicarbonate, protien, and phosphate buffer system  
🗑
show measured as CO2  
🗑
show bicarb: carbonic acid = 20:1  
🗑
show primary system, 50% of activity, to maintain balance l/t have to also use protein and phosphate buffer systems, 1-2 hours to kick in, bicarb is the major ECF buffer  
🗑
alkaline environment   show
🗑
show carbonic acid compensates and dissociates into CO2 and H20, CO2 exhaled by lungs, system activates rapidly but exhausted quickly  
🗑
respiratory buffer system, breathing changes   show
🗑
renal buffer system: time and effectiveness   show
🗑
renal buffering system, bicarbonate   show
🗑
compensation   show
🗑
primary metabolic disturbance   show
🗑
acute primary respiratory disturbance   show
🗑
complete compensation   show
🗑
partial compensation   show
🗑
show *negative logarithm of H+ ion concentration in mEq/L (as H+ ion concentration increases, pH decreases) *normal values 7.35 -7.45 (less is acidotic, more is alkalotic)  
🗑
HCO3- (bicarb)   show
🗑
show indicates the amount of bicarb available in the ECF normal value: +/- 2 mEq/L  
🗑
show *Concentration of anions (HCO3- , Cl-, protein, phosphate, & sulfates) and cations (Na+, K+, MG++, & Ca++) *10-12 mEq/L normal *increased in metabolic acidosis (but can be normal) *calculated by Na - Cl + bicarb  
🗑
show the percent of Hb saturated with O2, a calculated value (indirect measurement), calculated with pH and PaO2 (combination of O2 sat, PaO2, and Hb), indicates tissue oxygenation  
🗑
PaO2   show
🗑
the lower teh PaO2 pressure, the ....   show
🗑
dramatic drops in PaO2   show
🗑
show 75-100 mmHg (for every year above 60 drop 1mmHg)  
🗑
PaCO2   show
🗑
show correct cause, rebreathe CO2 as needed, alter ventilation rate, sedatives (for anxiety)

🗑
respiratory acidosis management (7)   show
🗑
respiratory acidosis assessment (8)   show
🗑
respiratory acidosis cardiac signs   show
🗑
respiratory acidosis respiratory signs   show
🗑
show HA, seizures, altered LOC, papilledema, twitching/tremors, drowsy --> coma  
🗑
respiratory acidosis causes (4)   show
