Pharmacist Objectives
• Discuss the distribution of total body fluid, and apply this concept
towards the management of a patient's fluid replacement.
• Recommend an appropriate intravenous fluid regimen based on a
patient's clinical characteristics.
• Develop an effective electrolyte replacement plan based on a
patient's clinical status and electrolyte abnormalities.
• Identify appropriate clinical situations for the use of hypertonic and
hypotonic saline, and recommend monitoring parameters to ensure
the safe use of these intravenous fluids.

3
Technician Objectives
• Recognize appropriate precautions to be taken while compounding
intravenous electrolyte replacement products, including hypotonic
and hypertonic saline.
• Delineate the differences between colloid and crystalloid fluids, and
recall appropriate instances for their use.
• Identify common intravenous fluid regimens and describe
appropriate dosages and concentrations for electrolyte additives.
• Identify common units and calculations involved in compounding
electrolyte replacement products.

Fluid Management

5
Fluid Distribution
• Total body fluid (TBF)
 Estimated as ~60% of lean body weight (LBW) in males
 Estimated as ~50% of LBW in females

• TBF further divided


 Intracellular (IC) space 60% of TBF
 Enclosed by the cell membrane
 Extracelllular (EC) space 40% of TBF
 Interstitial space 75% of EC fluid
 Intravascular space 25% of EC fluid
 Plasma ~3L
 Red blood cells ~2L fluid

• Distribution in the body determines distribution of intravenous (IV) fluids

Fluid Compartments

Osmotic Equilibrium
• Osmotic pressure
 Created by concentration of ions/electrolytes in each compartment
 Responsible for containing water in each space, keeps volume constant

• Osmolality
 Number of particles per kilogram of water

• Osmotic Equilibrium
 Water moves across the cell membrane from of region of low osmolality to one of
higher osmolality

• Plasma osmolality
 Normal value: 280-300 mOsm/kg

9
Acute Fluid Resuscitation
• Intravascular fluid depletion can occur as a result of shock
 Associated with reduced cardiac function and organ hypoperfusion
 Signs and symptoms usually occur when ~15% (750mL) of blood volume is lost or shifts
out of intravascular space

• Signs and Symptoms of intravascular volume depletion


 Tachycardia
 Hypotension
 Orthostatic changes in HR or BP
 Increased BUN/Scr ration >10:1
 Dry mucous membranes
 Decreased skin turgor
 Reduced urine output
 Dizziness
 Improvement after a 500- or 1000-mL fluid bolus

• Fluid resuscitation is indicated in patients exhibiting signs and


symptoms
10
Acute Fluid Resuscitation
• Goal: restore intravascular volume and prevent organ hypoperfusion

• Crystalloids recommended as a rapid infusion


 NS or LR typically used
 LR preferred in surgery and trauma patients
 LR has more physiological amount of Cl than NS

• Crystalloids vs Colloids
 No difference has been shown in time to resuscitation or outcomes
 Colloids: higher cost, some adverse effects

• Selective instances to consider colloids (controversial)


 4-6L crystalloid fluid resuscitation has failed or caused significant edema
 Patients with albumin <2.5mg/dL who have required a large volume already
 Albumin + diuretics for patients with clinically significant edema and low albumin

11
Maintenance Fluid Replacement
• Indicated in patients unable to tolerate oral fluids
• Goal: prevent dehydration and maintain normal fluid/electrolyte
balance
• Administered as continuous infusions through peripheral or central
lines
• Example maintenance fluid
 D5W with 0.45% NaCl with 20-40mEq of KCl per liter

12
Maintenance Fluid Replacement
• Calculations to determine daily volume needed in children and adults
 Administer 100mL/kg for the first 10kg of weight, then 50mL/kg for the next 10-
20kg, plus 20mL/kg for every kilogram greater than 20kg
OR
 Administer 20-40ml/kg/day (adults only)

• Adjust fluids according to individual patient’s input, output, insensible


losses

13
Commonly Used IV Fluids
Crystalloids
• Crystalloids

Intracellular Extracellular
Compartment Compartment

• Potassium • Sodium
• Magnesium • Chloride
• Phosphate • Bicarbonate
• Calcium

24
Disorders of Sodium
• Normal range 135 – 145 mEq/L
• Role in the body
 Sodium in the ECF determines the tonicity of the ECF
 Directly affects the distribution of water between EC and IC compartments
 Sodium concentration is the ratio of Na:H2O (not absolute amount of either)
 Sodium level does not indicate whether abnormality is due to increase in the total
amount of Na, H2O, or both

25
Hyponatremia
• Sodium concentration <135 mEq/L
• Most common electrolyte abnormality
• Significant morbidity and mortality
• Signs and symptoms
 Clinically do not appear until sodium <125 mEq/L
 Acute: cerebral edema, seizures, increased mortality risk
 Chronic: N/V, confusion, personality changes, neurologic dysfunction, gait
disturbances, seizures

Serum sodium (mEq/L) Clinical manifestations


120-125 Nausea, malaise
115-120 HA, lethargy, obtundation, unsteadiness, confusion
<115 Delirium, seizure, coma, respiratory arrest, death
26
Types of Hyponatremia
Hypovolemic Euvolemic Hypervolemic
Hypotonic Hypotonic Hypotonic
Hyponatremia Hyponatremia Hyponatremia
Description Deficit of both Na Normal total body Caused by excess Na
and fluid, but total Na with excess and fluid, but fluid
Na is decreased more fluid volume excess predominates
than TBW (dilutional)
Example Fluid loss, third SIADH, HF, cirrhosis,
spacing, renal loss medications nephrotic syndrome
Treatment Fluid resuscitation Treat cause Na and water
Fluid restriction restriction
Vasopressin Treat underlying
receptor cause
antagonists Vasopressin receptor
antagonists
27
Principles of Hyponatremia Correction
• AVOID overly rapid increases in serum sodium (>10-12 mEq/L in 24 hours)

• Treat underlying cause

• Chronicity of hyponatremia impacts the rate at which correction should be


undertaken

• Transient or permanent brain dysfunction may result from overly rapid


correction of hyponatremia
 Osmotic demyelination syndrome

28
3% Sodium Chloride Infusion
• High alert medication
• Administration
 Symptomatic hyponatremia: infusion rate 1-2ml/kg/hour
 Central IV access (osmolarity >900mOsm/L)
 If peripheral IV must be used (emergency), monitor for phlebitis
 Monitor serum sodium changes every 1-4 hours depending on symptom severity

• Complications
 Osmotic demyelination syndrome
 Hypokalemia
 Hyperchloremic acidosis
 Hypernatremia
 Heart failure
 Coagulopathy
 Hypotension

29
Hypernatremia
• Sodium level >145mEq/dL
• Hypertonic state resulting in cellular dehydration
• Commonly observed in patients without thirst response
• High mortality rates if serum sodium >160mEq/dL (~60-75%)
• Signs and symptoms
 Thirst, dry mucous membranes, decreased skin turgor, acute weight loss, weakness,
lethargy, restlessness, irritability, confusion, hallucinations, ICH, coma, seizures,
death

Types of Hypernatremia

Example Insensible losses DI Sodium overload,

Treatment 0.9%NS until VS Free water Free water
stable, then free replacement, replacement with
water vasopressin loop diuretic, HD

31
Hypernatremia
• Treatment
 Depends on cause: too little water or too much sodium

• Rapid correction is NOT indicated


 Results in cerebral edema, seizures, neurologic damage, death
 Do not exceed a change of greater than 10mEq/day

• Hypovolemic Hypernatremia
 NS adminstered to correct ECF volume
 Then hypotonic solution to correct H2O deficit
