Electrolyte Imbalances
Fluid Volume Disturbance (FVD)
:
I-Hypovolemia (fluids volume deficit):
− Contributing Factors:
* Loss of water and electrolyte.
e.g.( vomiting, diarrhea, burns).
* Decrease intake. e.g. (anorexia, nausea, inability to
gain access to fluids).
* Some disease.e.g (D.M, Diabetic Insipidus).
− Sings and symptoms:
Weight loss, general weakness, dizziness, increase
pulse.
 Assessment Diagnostic evaluation
 History & Physical examination
 Serum BUN & Creatinine
 Hematocrit level “great than normal”
 Urine specific gravity
 Serum electrolytes level
 Hypokalemia in case of GI & renal loss
 Hyperkalemia in case of adrenal insufficiency
 Hypernatremia in case of insensible losses &

Management:
• Treatment of the causes of FVD should be go with
treatment of FVD itself
• Factors influence the patient fluid needs should be
taken in consideration
• In case of sever or acute FVD IV replacement
should be started
• Isotonic solutions used to treat hypotension resulted
from FVD
• Renal function & hemodynamic status should be
evaluated
Nursing Management
Monitor I&O as needed “urine”
Monitor V/S, skin turgor , mental status & daily weight
Extensive Hemodynamic CVP, arterial pressure
Mouth care & ↓ irritating fluids
Fluid Volume Disturbance
:
II- Hypervolemia (fluid volume excess):
− Contributing Factors:
* Compromised regulatory mechanism such as renal
failure, congestive heart failure, and cirrhosis.
* Administration of Na+ containing fluids.
* Prolong corticosteroid therapy.
* Increase fluid intake.
− Sings and Symptoms:
Weight gain, increase blood pressure, edema, and
shortness of breathing.
Assessment & Diagnostic Evaluation
•Decreased BUN , Creatinine , Serum
osmolality & hematocrete because of
plasma dilution, &↓protein intake
•Urine sodium is increased if kidneys
excrete excess fluid
•CXR may disclosed pulmonary congestion
Management
Direct cause should be treated
Symptomatic treatment consist of :
- Diuretics
- restrict fluid & Na intake
- Maintained electrolytes balance
- Hemodialysis in case of renal impairment
- K+ supplement & specific nutrition
Nursing Management:
- Assess breathing , weight ,degree of edema regularly
- I & O measurement regularly
- Semisitting position in case of shortness of breath
- Patient education
 Electrolyte functions
 Electrolytes are required for many cellular activities,
such as nerve conduction and muscle contraction
 Sodium (Na+
)
 Most abundant and important positively charged ion of
plasma
 Normal plasma level: 142 mEq/L
 Average daily intake (diet): 100 mEq
 Chief method of regulation: Kidney
 Aldosterone increases Na+
reabsorption in kidney tubules
 Sodium-containing internal secretions

overload and LR in alkalosis and liver disease.
Major body buffer systems
 Three major body buffer systems
 All can only temporarily affect pH (H+
not
eliminated)
1. Phosphate buffer system
 Buffers pH of ICF and urine
2. Carbonic acid–bicarbonate buffer system
 Most important in ECF
 Fully reversible
 Bicarbonate reserves (from NaHCO3 in ECF)
contribute

Calcium, continued  Treatment:  Hydration with NS then loop diuretic.  Steroids for lymphoma, multiple myeloma, adrenal insufficiency, bone MTS, Vit D intoxication.  May need Hemodialysis.  Mithramycin for malignancy induced hyperCa refractory to other treatment. Give 15-25 mcg/kg IV  Calcitonin in malignant PTH syndromes
  • 32. Magnesium  Hypomagnesemia  Malnutrition, burns, pancreatitis, SIADH (syndrom of inappropriate antiduretic hormone secretion), parathyroidectomy, primary hyperaldosteronism  S/Sx: weakness, fatigue, MS (mental status) changes, hyperreflexia, seizure, arrhythmia  Treatment: IV replacement of 2-4 gm of MgSO4 per day or oral replacement

Magnesium, continued  Hypermagnesemia  Renal insufficiency, antacid abuse, adrenal insufficiency, hypothyroidism, iatrogenic  S/Sx: Nausea & Vomiting, weakness, MS changes, hyporeflexia, paralysis of voluntary muscles, ECG has AV block and prolonged QT interval.  Treatment: Discontinue source, IV Ca Gluconate for acute, Dialysis.
  • 34. Phosphate • Hyperphosphatemia  Renal insufficiency, hypoparathyroidism, may produce metastatic calcification  Treat with restriction and phosphate-binding antacid (Amphogel)  PO replacement (Neutraphos) or IV KPhos or NaPhos 0.08-0.20 mM/kg over 6 hrs
  • 35. Acid-Base Balance  Classes of acids  Fixed acids  Do not leave solution  Remain in body fluids until kidney excretion  Examples: sulfuric and phosphoric acid  Generated during catabolism of amino acids, phospholipids, and nucleic acids  Organic acids  Part of cellular metabolism  Examples: lactic acid and ketones  Most metabolized rapidly so no accumulation
  • 36. Acid−Base Disturbance : Normal Values: PH 7.35- 7.45. → PCO2 35-45mmHg. → PO2 80-100mmHg. → HCO3 22-26mEq/L. → Respiratory Acidosis: PCO2. → → → → ↑ Respiratory Alkalosis: PCO2. → → → → ↓ Metabolic Acidosis: PH, HCO3. → → → → ↓ ↓ Metabolic Alkalosis: PH, HCO3. → → → → ↑ ↑
  • 37. Types of IV solutions : Serum plasma osmalality (280-300 m osmol). I- Isotonic Solutions: A solution with the same osmalality as serum and other body Fluids. e.g. N/S 0.9%, Ringer Lactate, D5W. II- Hypotonic Solutions: A solution with an osmolarity lower than that of serum plasma. e.g. half strength saline (0.45% sodium chloride). III- Hypertonic Solution: A solution with an osmalality higher than that of serum. e.g. D/S >0.9%, D/S 0.18%, D/S 0.45%, D10W, D25W.
  • 38. Types of IV solutions: Hypotonic Solutions (0.45% saline)  Decreases intravascular osmolarity.  Results in intracellular expansion.  Used for cellular dehydration.  Complications include shock and increased ICP (intracranial pressure).  Contraindications include cerebral edema, and hypotension.
  • 39. Types of IV solutions: Hypertonic Solutions >(D5% .45% saline, D5% NS, D5%LR.)  Increases intravascular osmolarity.  Results in intracellular and interstitial dehydration.  Used for intravascular expansion by shifting intracellular and interstitial fluids.  Complications include circulatory overload.  Contraindications include intracellular dehydration and hyperosmolar states.
  • 40. Types of IV solutions : Isotonic Solutions (NS, Lactated Ringers, D5%W.)  Does not change osmolarity.  Results in TBW (total body weight) expansion.  Used to increase intravascular space.  Complications include circulatory overload.  Contraindications include circulatory overload and LR in alkalosis and liver disease.
  • 41. Major body buffer systems  Three major body buffer systems  All can only temporarily affect pH (H+ not eliminated) 1. Phosphate buffer system  Buffers pH of ICF and urine 2. Carbonic acid–bicarbonate buffer system  Most important in ECF  Fully reversible  Bicarbonate reserves (from NaHCO3 in ECF) contribute

Editor's Notes

  • #1: Figure 24.1.2 Fluid balance exists when water gains equal water losses
  • #2: Figure 19-8 (right) depicts testing for dehydration. Loss of skin elasticity is a clinical sign of dehydration.
  • #4: Any disruption in a homeostatic mechanism that controls the level or normal chemical activity of a particular electrolyte in any of the different body fluids produces an electrolyte imbalance. The normal range for potassium in the blood is 3.5 to 5.1 mEq/L. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body. The normal range for serum calcium is 8.4 to 10.5 mg/dL. Hypocalcemia may result from dietary calcium deficiency, decreased absorption or availability, and as a result of increased calcium excretion.
  • #12: One of the most common areas for swelling to occur is the subcutaneous tissues of the ankle and foot. During a 24-hour period, more than 8 liters of fluid containing 1,000 to 1,300 mEq of sodium are poured into the digestive system.
  • #43: Buffer systems can delay but not prevent pH shifts in the ICF and ECF
