Why ? Essential for surgeons (and all physicians) Based upon physiology
Disturbances understood as pathophysiology
To Encourage Thought Not Mechanical Reaction
Most abnormalities are relatively simple, and many
iatrogenic

It’s All About Balance
Gains and Losses Losses

Fluid Movement
Is a continuous process Diffusion
Solutes move from high to low concentration Osmosis
Fluid moves from low to high solute concentration. Active Transport
Solutes kept in high concentration compartment Requires ATP
![Page 11: Basic Fluids and Electrolytes](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568164c9550346895dd6e4c0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Volume Deficit Most common surgical disorder Signs and symptoms
CNS: sleepiness, apathy, reflexes, coma GI: anorexia, N/V, ileus CV: orthostatic hypotension, tachycardia with
peripheral pulses Skin: turgor Metabolic: temperature
![Page 18: Basic Fluids and Electrolytes](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568164c9550346895dd6e4c0/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
DehydrationChronic Volume Depletion
Affects all fluid componentsSolutes become concentrated
Increased osmolarityHct can increase 6-8 pts for 1 L deficit
Patients at risk:Cannot respond to thirst stimuliDiabetes insipidus
Treatment: typically low Na fluids
![Page 19: Basic Fluids and Electrolytes](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568164c9550346895dd6e4c0/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
HypovolemiaAcute Volume Depletion
Isotonic fluid loss, from extracellular compartmentDetermine etiology
Hemorrhage, NG, fistulas, aggressive diuretic therapyThird space shifting, burns, crush injuries, ascites
Replace with blood/isotonic fluid» Appropriate monitoring
» Physical Exam» Foley (u/o > 0.5 ml/kg/min)» Hemodynamic monitoring
![Page 20: Basic Fluids and Electrolytes](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568164c9550346895dd6e4c0/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Treatment – Patient weight is 12 kg
Fluid choice? Replace volume Replace Cl
How to order “Bolus”
Think about rate over time Adequate access important
What would maintenance fluid choice and rate be? 4-2-1 rule
Why not replace K right away?
![Page 21: Basic Fluids and Electrolytes](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568164c9550346895dd6e4c0/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Acid – Base Balance
Acidosis May result from decreased perfusion i.e. decreased
intravascular volume K will move out of cells
Alkalosis Complex physiologic response to more chronic
volume depletion i.e. vomiting, NG suction, pyloric stenosis, diuretics K will move intracellular

Case 1 When should we operate?
Need to wait until adequately resuscitated Why
Monitor by: Normalized vital signs Good urine output Normalized labs

Case 2 Diagnoses?
New onset A fib, why?
Hypervolemia Hyponatremia Hypokalemia Hypomagnesemia Anemia
![Page 27: Basic Fluids and Electrolytes](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568164c9550346895dd6e4c0/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Case 2 Why does patient have hypervolemia?
![Page 28: Basic Fluids and Electrolytes](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568164c9550346895dd6e4c0/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Increased Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH)
Causes Surgical stress (physiologic) Cancers (pancreas, oat cell) CNS (trauma, stroke) Pulmonary (tumors, asthma, COPD) Medications
Anticonvulsants, antineoplastics, antipsychotics, sedatives (morphine)
![Page 29: Basic Fluids and Electrolytes](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568164c9550346895dd6e4c0/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Hyponatremia – how to classify Na loss
True loss of Na Dilutional (water excess) Inadequate Na intake
Classified by extracellular volume Hyovolemic (hyponatremia)
Diuretics, renal, NG, burns Isotonic (hyponatremia)
Liver failure, heart failure, excessive hypotonic IVF
Hypervolemic (hyponatremia) Glucocorticoid deficiency, hypothyroidism
![Page 30: Basic Fluids and Electrolytes](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568164c9550346895dd6e4c0/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Patient was receiving maintenance Fluids
D5 0.45NS + 20 mEq KCl/L at 125 ml/hr
![Page 31: Basic Fluids and Electrolytes](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568164c9550346895dd6e4c0/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
How much Sodium is Enough???
NS 0.9% = 9 grams Na per liter
0.45 NS = 4.5 grams per liter 125 ml/hour = 3000 ml in 24 hours 3 liters X 4.5 grams Na = 13.5 GRAMS Na!
(If 0.2 NS: 3 liters X 2 grams Na = 6 grams Na)

Case 2 - How to treat
A fib: ACLS protocol Correct electrolytes
Replace Mg and K Decrease volume, fluid restriction
![Page 33: Basic Fluids and Electrolytes](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568164c9550346895dd6e4c0/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Case 3
23 year old with jejunostomy Had colon and ileum resected due to injury
Tolerates some oral nutrition, but has high output from jejunostomy (2.5 liters per day), therefore requires TPN
P 118, BP 105/60

Current Problems
Hypovolemia Increased plasma osmolarity
2 X 154 + (213/18) + (28/1.8) = 335 Hypernatremia Renal insufficiency Acidosis
![Page 37: Basic Fluids and Electrolytes](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568164c9550346895dd6e4c0/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Case 3 - Hypovolemia
Fistula output High volumes can rapidly lead to dehydration Electrolyte composition can be difficult to
estimate Can send aliquot to laboratory
May need to be replaced separately from maintenance (TPN) fluids
Hyperglycemia
![Page 38: Basic Fluids and Electrolytes](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568164c9550346895dd6e4c0/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Hypernatremia
Relatively too little H2O Free water loss (burns, fever, fistulas) Diabetes insipidus (head trauma, surgery,
infections, neoplasm) Dilute urine (Opposite of SIADH)
Osmotic diuresis Nephrogenic DI
Kidney cannot respond to ADH Too much Na, usually iatrogenic
![Page 39: Basic Fluids and Electrolytes](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568164c9550346895dd6e4c0/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Hypernatremia
[0.6 X wt (kg)] X [Serum Na/140 - 1]
Free water deficit:
Example:Na 154, 60 kg person
(0.6 X 60) X [(154/140) - 1]36 X [1.1 -1]36 X 0.1 = 3.6 Liters

Case 3 – How to Treat

Hyperkalemia - Common Causes
Spurious Blood drawn above running IV Underlying disease
Renal failure Rhabdomyolysis
Associated medications Too much K+, ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers,
antibiotics, chemotherapy, NSAIDS, spironolactone
![Page 45: Basic Fluids and Electrolytes](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568164c9550346895dd6e4c0/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Treatment Mild: dietary restriction, assess medications Moderate: Kayexalate
Do not use sorbitol enema in renal failure patients Severe: dialysis
![Page 46: Basic Fluids and Electrolytes](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568164c9550346895dd6e4c0/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Potassium and Ph
Normally 98% intracellular Acidosis
Extracellular H+ increases, H+ moves intracellular, forcing K+ extracellular
Alkalosis Intracellular H+ decreases, K+ moves into cells
(to keep intracellular fluid neutral)
![Page 47: Basic Fluids and Electrolytes](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568164c9550346895dd6e4c0/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Hyperkalemia - Treatment
Emergency (> 6 mEq/l) Monitor ECG, VS Calcium gluconate IV (arrhythmias) Insulin and glucose IV Kayexalate, Lasix + IVF, dialysis
Mild to Moderate Mild: dietary restriction, assess medications Moderate: Kayexalate
Do not use sorbitol enema in renal failure patients Severe: dialysis
