Fluid compartments1. Intracellular - within cells- 70% body
water2. Extracellular - outside cells -30% body
watera. interstitial- area around cells- 24% body water b. intravascular- area within body vessels- 6% body water

Electrolytes (mEq)
• salts or minerals in body fluids
•contain electrically charged particles called ions
•principal source of osmotic forces which control volume or location of fluid
Cations- positively charged; Na, K, Ca, Mg
Anions- negatively charged; CL, HCO3, PO4

Types of Solution
1. Hypertonic- exerts greater concentration of particles outside than inside the cell; cells shrink
e.g. D51/2NS, D5 NS, D5 LR, 3%NS, 5%NS
2. Hypotonic- exerts lesser concentration of particles outside than inside the cells; cells swell
e.g. 1/2 NS, 1/4 NS, 1/3 NS, 2.5% Dextrose, D5W
3. Isotonic- same concentration of particles inside and outside the cell; no change on size and shape of cells
eg. Normal Saline, Lactated Ringer’s

Burns
• wounds caused by excessive exposure to thermal, electrical, chemical and radioactive materials
•usually secondary to carelessness or ignorance
![Page 10: Fluid And Electrolytes Burns G.U](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052619/55648122d8b42a361d8b4aad/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Nursing Assessment
1. ABC’s

3. TBSA- Total Body Surface Area
a. Berkow formula
•calculated on the basis of the client’s age
•changes that occur in proportion of the head and legs to the rest of the body as the individual grows
•arms and trunk have a fixed proportion throughout life
Eg. Head: 1yo = 19%; 1-4yo = 17%; 5-9yo =13%;
10-14yo = 11%; 15yo = 9%; adult = 7%

1. To remove excessive amounts of drugs or toxins in poisoning
2. To check serious electrolyte or acid base imbalance
3. To maintain kidney function when renal shutdown occurs
4. To temporarily replace kidney function in patients with acute renal failure and permanently replace in chronic renal failure

Peritoneal Dialysis- introduction of specially prepared dialysate solution into the abdominal cavity where the peritoneum acts as a semi permeable membrane between the dialysate and blood in the abdominal vessels
Nursing Interventions:
a. Weight pt, VS every 15 mins then every hour
b. Patient voids
c. Warm dialysate solution to body temperature
d. Assist in trocar insertion
e. Inflow time, Dwell time and Drain time
f. Observe character of dialysate flow

Hemodialysis- shunting of blood from client’s vascular system through an artificial dialyzing system and return of dialyzed blood to client’s circulation
Dialysis coil- acts as a semipermeable mebrane
Access Routes:
• AV shunt or cannula
• AV fistula
• Femoral or subclavian cannulation
