IV Fluids:
- 60% of Total Body weight is Water
- Out of that 60%, 40% is ICF and 20% is ECF
- ICF is rich in Potassium. About 2l of ICF Fluid is a part of
RBCs
- ECF is rich in Sodium. 11L are a part of ISF and 3L are a
part of Plasma Vol.
- RBC+Plasma = Total Intra Vascular Volume (5L).
- An increase in ECF osmolarity is sensed by osmoreceptors
in hypothalamus.
- This increases ADH release by the posterior pituitary.
- ADH increases the water permeability of late sections of
the nephron
- The resulting fall in excretion of water helps restore ECF
osmolarity.

Recent advancements:
- Interosseous Route tibia, femur, Superior iliac crest, head
of the humerus
- Auto-transfusion Techniques
- Artificial Haemoglobins Perfluoro Carbon based and
Haemoglobin based
- Hypertonic Salines
- Salt-free Albumins
- Tetrastarches (Voluven)
Electrolytes:
Hyponatraemia:
- Def :
<135 mEq/L
- Causes:
- Pseudohyponatremia (high lipid levels)
- Hypovolemic
- Euvolemic
- Hypervolemic
- Clinical Features:
- Majority: Asymptomatic
- GIT (<120 mEq/L): Nausea, Vomiting, Anorexia
- CNS (<120 mEq/L): Confusion, Coma, Seizures
Treatment:
- Management:
- Hypertonic saline with Frusemide
- Management of ICP
- Water Restriction
- Correction of Precipitating factor
- Demeclocycline (reduces responsiveness of CT to ADH)
- Oral Salt Supplementation
- Hourly Na+ Monitoring (till serum Na+ =130mEq/L)
Complications:
