IV Fluids Introduction
Chemically prepared solution
Solvent= water Solutes= material (sodium, potassium, chloride; and other larger compounds like proteins/molecules)
Tailored to the bodys needs To replace lost fluids and/or aid in the delivery of IV medications Have different forms & different impacts on the body
Replacement phase
Replacing normal ongoing losses (maintenance volume)
Maintenance phase
Replacing continuing abnormal losses (continuing losses volume)
Trancellular fluids: CSF, pleural fluid, peritoneal fluid, intra ocular fluid, synovial fluid
Hypertonic
Tonicity > plasma
Isotonic
Tonicity = plasma
Hypotonic
Tonicity < plasma
Crystalloid solutions
Contain electrolytes, but lack of large proteins /molecules Have tonicity as patients need In 1 hr 2/3 will leave blood vessels risk of fluid effusion Used mainly for pre-hospital setting & maintanance More available and afordable Common solutions:
Lactated Ringers Normal saline solution (NaCl) D5
131 111 5 4 29
Good for liver Contra-indicated to diabetes problems because patients because of isomers of acetate is metabolized lactate is glucogeogenic in muscle

Fluid requirements
By BSA (Body Surface Area) = mL/ m2/ 24 hr
Appropriate for BW > 10 kg Normal for maintenance fluid is 1500 ml/ m2/ 24 hr
Decrease metabolism:
Hypotherm will H2O 12%/ C
