ONE : Normal fluid and electrolytes balance in the body
FACTORS INFLUENCE TBW
1) AGE , more in infants , y ? 22) Gender3) Body weight , Fatty vs musculature 4) Temperature , every 1 c rise extra loss of 200
ml / day 5) Operation & Trauma , due to increased
aldosterone & ADH secretions in neuroendocrine response >> which will conserve water >> fluid collection in the third space .
Daily requirements:
• Water : 30-35 ml/kg
Electrolytes functions include: helping to maintain homeostasis, acid-base balance and water distribution, metabolic functions, cardiac and nerve conduction.,
• K : 1 mEq/kg
• Cl : 1.5 mEq/kg
• Na : 1-2mEq/kg.

•Avoidance of transfusion complications
THREE : TYPES OF IV SOLUTIONS
1- Crystalloid
2- Colloid
3- Blood*
FLUID OF CHOICES
Fluid resembling ECF Rapid volume expansion of IVS Sustained expansion No sugar
CRYSTALLOIDS Lower cost Low molecular weight EC expander >> Replaces interstitial
fluid Greater urinary flow Transient haemodynamic improvement
(20 – 30 min) >> Large volume resuscitation needed (3-4:1)
S/E: 1) Peripheral oedema2) Pulmonary oedema
CRYSTALLOID
COLLOIDS Greater cost higher molecular weight IV expander . Smaller volume (1:1) Osmotic diuresis Longer duration of persistence (2 – 8 hours) S/E: 1) Less cerebral oedema2) Coagulopathy3) Pulm oedema (cap. leak state)4) GFR (hyperoncotic kidney failure syndrome) 5) Allergic risk (gelatin > dextran >
albumin>HES)
COLLOID (NO CAPILLARY LEAKAGE)
Colloids
CRYSTALLOIDS
Divided into: 1- Isotonic solutions
ex: 0.9% Normal saline, Ringer Lactate
2- Hypotonic solutionsex: 5% dextrose , .25% NS, .45% NS, 4%glucose + .18% NS
3- Hypertonic solutions (1.8 – 7.5% NaCl)

0.9% NORMAL SALINE If you need to restore the IV deficit using only
0.9NS, you need to give 3-4 times more than the deficit itself
Used as first line in resuscitation in ER
Used for electrolytes replacement (even from GI losses)
Could cause hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis 0.9% NaCl is preferred in the presence of
hyperkalemia, hypercalcemia, hyponatremia, hypochloremia, or metabolic alkalosis.
RINGER LACTATE (HARTMANN’S)
Same osmolality as ECF restore ECF volume For fluid resuscitation , but not for maintenance
May reduce iatrogenic hyperchloremic Metabolic acidosis associated with other higher chloride containing solutions .
Used in losses rich in bicarbonate as , biliary , small bowel , and pancreatic
Limited usage in the cases of hyperkalemia and citrated blood, because of the K+ and Ca+2 components in the ringer lactate
It contain lactate that’s converted to bicarbonate in the liver , so avoided in pat with liver injury
5% DEXTROSE WATER
Hypotonic, after metabolism of Glucose only water remains and distribute to all body
Less than 10% remains IV no role for expansion
Treat dehydration from water loss
Excessive use hyponatremia
HYPERTONIC SALINE
High osmolality (2400 mOsmol/L) rise ECF osmolality
shift of fluid from ICF ECF, more expansion
Practical dose: 200mls 7.5% NaCl in 10 min Small Volume Resuscitation Reduced cerebral edema CI: dehydration, oliguric renal failure,
cardiogenic shock, DKA, coagulopathies or active hemorrhage
A randomized, double-blinded study of a 250-mL dose of hypertonic saline (7.5% NaCl, 6% dextran-70) compared to placebo (0.9% NaCl) given to patients in hemorrhagic shock after sustaining blunt trauma showed that the patients receiving the hypertonic saline bolus had significant blunting of neutrophil activation and alteration of the pattern of monocyte activation and cytokine secretionThis immunomodulatory effect of hypertonic saline plus dextran may help to prevent widespread tissue damage and multiorgan dysfunction seen after traumatic injury
HYPERTONIC SALINE
COLLOIDS
Derived from: 1- Gelatin (Haemaccel, Gelofusine) 2- dextrane 3- starch 4-Protein (albumin)
GELATINS
Short acting
No limit on total volume that can be administered (if Hb is maintained)
minimal effect on coagulation
Anaphylaxis could occur histamine release bronchospasm + urticarial + hypotension + tachycardia
DEXTRANS
Good duration of effect
Limited usage, 20ml/kg for the 1st 24 hours, then 10 ml/kg for the next 5 days only
Allergy risk
Significant coagulation effect (Associated with anti-coagulation, so it could be used in vascular surgeries to prevent thrombosis)
May interfere with cross-match
Dextran 40 can cause osmotic renal damage
HYDROXYETHYL STARCH (HES)
Limited usage (not like Gelatins) to 30-50 ml/kg
S/E: anaphylaxis, decrease Hb, bleeding (disturbance in coagulation), itching after usage
HUMAN ALBUMIN SOLUTION (HAS)
2 forms
1- 4.5% solution treat hypovolemia
2- 20% (salt-poor) solution treat hypoalbumenimia
SAFE (Saline versus Albumin Fluid Evaluation) study
found no significant difference in outcomes, including mortality and organ failure, between the two groups
FOUR : HOW SURGERY AFFECT FLUID AND ELECTROLYTES
BALANCE??
1) Fasting.2) Stimulating secretion of stress hormone
( ADH, aldosterone , Cortisol )3) Causing fluid and electrolytes loss from GIT(
laxative, IO, adynamic ileus , high output fistula , diarrhea)
4) Increase insensible loss5) Third spacing 6) Surgical drains7) Patient’s medication
PERIOPERATIVE FLUID REQUIREMENT .
1) Maintenance .2) NPO 3) Third space losses. 4) Replacement of blood loss5) Special additional losses .
1 )MAINTENANCE FLUID : Simply : 100-50-20 rule Or: “ 4-2-1 rule” >>
4ml/kg/hr for the 1st 10kg of TBW .2ml/kg/hr for the 2nd 10kg of TBW.1ml/kg/hr for the subsequent kg of TBW . * consider extra losses for fever , tracheotomy , denuded surfaces
ELECTROLYTES : Na: (1-2mEq/Kg/day)K: ( 0.5-1 mEq/Kg/day)
2 )NPO- NPO deficit = number of hours of NPO x
maintenance fluid requirment .
3 ) THIRD SPACE LOSSES loss phase, increased capillary permeability leads
to a loss of proteins and fluids from the intravascular space to the interstitial space. This phase lasts 24 to 72 hours after the initial insult that led to the increased capillary permeability (for example, surgery, trauma, burns, or sepsis). Signs and symptoms include weight gain, decreased urinary output, and signs of hypovolemia, such as tachycardia and hypotension.
reabsorption phase, tissues begin to heal and fluid is transported back into the intravascular space. Around POD#3 .Signs of hypovolemia resolve, urine output increases, the patient's weight stabilizes, and signs of shock (if any) begin to reverse.
REPLACE 3RD SPACE LOSSES BY RINGER LACTATE ( SAME COMPOSITION FOR ECF)
Superficial surgical trauma 1-2 ml/kg/h
Minimal surgical trauma 3-4 ml/kg/hhead and neck, hernia, knee repair
Moderate surgical trauma 5-6 ml/kg/hhysterectomy , chest surgery
Severe surgical trauma 8-10 ml/kg/hAAA repair, Nephrectomy
4 )BLOOD LOSS
Replace 3cc of crystalloid solution per cc of blood loos ( bcz as we said crystalloid leaves rapidly )
When using blood products or colloids replace blood loss volume per volume
5) ADDITIONAL LOSS Bowel prep needs up to 1L . NGT , Stoma output …. Measurable Replace volume per volume with crystalloids
BUT HOW TO GIVE THE FLUID? A 70kg Patient went into a 5 hours elective
surgery, he was dynamically stable, he was NPO for 9 hours prior to surgery …..
Maintenance : given hourly Deficit : ½ in the first hour , the other ½
distributed equally to the rest .
ANSWER
Maintenance : Using the rule of 4-2-1 , (4*10) + (2*10) + (1*50) = 110 ml/h (must given every hour in the operation)
Deficit : NPO for 9 hours, so maintenance amount was deficit in the past 9 hours 110*9 = 990 ml.
FLUID REPLACEMENT IN CASES OF RESUSCITATION NOT INTRAOPERATIVE
1. Insert 2 large pour and short cannula , non dominant hand , most distally , not over a joint .
2. Start 1st NS bolus ( 1L/20min) and reassess then if not responding give 2nd one , if not responding start blood
CLINICAL ASSESSMENT The actual end point of fluid therapy is to optimize
tissue perfusion
1) Vital signs normal: specially the BP and HR 2) Urine out-put: at least 0.5 -1 ml/kg/h in adults (in children
more)
3) (ABGs )Metabolic acidosis hypoperfusion and hypovolemia4) Increase hematocrit, urea, nitrogen dehydration 5) Weights
6) Level of consciousness (changes in mental status)
7) Physically: no dryness in mucus membranes and no persistent thirst
8) Hemodynamic monitoring by CVP , normally is 2-8 mmhg
MONITORING
Central Venous Pressure (CVP), invasive monitoring normally 2-5 mmHg
Fluid challenge add 250 ml of fluid given rapidly to make change in CVP
In hypovolemia slight increase then rapid decrease
In adequate small sustained raise In over hydration high sustained raise
IMPORTANT NOTES
Priority is arrest of hemorrhage
Treatment with IV fluids before hemorrhage was controlled increased the mortality rate, especially if the BP was elevated.. Why ??
The optimal volume of IV fluid administered is a balance between improving tissue oxygen delivery against increasing the blood loss by raising SBP
OVER CORRECTION >> HYPERVOLEMIA VS WATER INTOXICATION
Hypervolemia : Excess isotonic fluid in extracellular spaces due to an increase in total body sodium content Can lead to heart failure and pulmonary edema, especially in prolonged or severe hypervolemia or In patients with poor heart function. Treatment diuretics and restriction of the intake of water, fluids, sodium, and salt.
Water intoxication : Excess fluid in the intracellular space from the extracellular space Causes increased intracranial pressure may lead to seizures and coma. Diuretics & Vasopressin receptor antagonists
