Body Fluids
• Total Body Water = Extracellular Fluid (ECF) + Intracellular Fluid (ICF)
• ECF = Plasma + Interstitial Fluid• Total Body Water expressed in terms of %
bodyweight (adolescent or adult):• ICF (30-40%) • Interstitial(15%)• Plasma5% & Infants- 8%
Change in Body Composition
Change in Body Composition
dehydration
• Child: Mild- 5% weight lossModerate 1015-severe or shock
• 3%/6%/9% old child & adults
dehydration
• Mild: thirsty, minimal clinical picture• Moderate: tachycardia, sunken eyes, dry
mucous membranes, depressed fontanel, decreased urination (???- only 20% of "oliguric" patients have dehydration!), ± prolonged capillary refill
• Severe: blood pressure drop
dehydration
• Isotonic dehydration• hypertonic (Na≥150)• hypotonic (Na≤130)
dehydration
• Acute< 3 days75-100% of fluids losses is from ECF
(primarily Na loss, less K loss)• Subacute or chronic> 3 days
65-70% of losses from ECF and 30% from ICF with greater level of potassium loss
Treatment of dehydration
• Fluids!!!!!• Etiologic treatment
Treatment of dehydration
• Rout of fluids administration:enteral and parenteral
Treatment of dehydration
• Oral/PZ- preferable & most physiologic type–Hypotonic type: ORS by 40-60meq Na/20
meq K and 2.5D for non choleric patients–Medium type: 70meq Na–High solute type: 60-90Na for cholera 1
cc/kg for mild and 2cc/kg for moderate dehydration for 4 h every 5 minutes
Dehydration treatment
Oral rehydration contraindications: • intractable vomiting• impaired consciousness• aspirations risk• bowel obstruction
Treatment of dehydration
• Parenteral:– Subcutaneous with recombinant
hyaluronidase adjuvant– IV/io for failed ORS or Moderate-Severe
dehydration
IV dehydration correction
• 3 phases– Emergent–Corrections–Maintenance and ongoing losses
Emergent phase of fluid replacement
correction of perfusion failure and intravascular deficit by bolus of isotonic fluids
0.9 NaCl±D5 or Ringer lactate20ml/kg (previous mass!)• Bolus- within minutes!• Repeat boluses until stable
Emergent phase
• Patient with decreased oncotic pressure (nephrotic syndrome, protein-loosing entheropathy, burns, cirrhosis)- may give 5% albumin
• DKA- start 10 ml/kg• Premature and small newborns- 10 ml/kg• Suspected cardiogenic shock – 10ml/kg
Second phase- deficits correction
Deficits: H2O+ Na+ K± Ca
Deficits correction
• Assess degree of dehydration• Assess type of dehydration• Assess length of dehydration
Deficits correction
• FIRST - calculate the amount of fluid you need• NEXT - calculate how much sodium and
potassium you need• FINALLY - pick a fluid based upon what is
commercially available if you can
Deficits correction
Persistent deficits= previous loss- bolusesMost accurate method of water deficit estimation- weight lossOther method: Calculated previous weight- current weightCalculated weight= current+ estimated fluid lossEstimated fluid loss- by percent of dehydration
Isotonic dehydration
• Water deficit- weight loss or estimated weight loss
• Sodium deficit
Isotonic dehydrationsodium deficit
total body water(normal)*140meq/l- current TBW*current [Na]= Na deficit
Isotonic dehydration
• Normal TBW= normal body mass*Kk~0.75 neonates, 0.65 toddlers, 0.6w &0.5m
• ??????Really Current TBW~ current mass (k- estimated percent of dehydration/10)
10 kg infant with 10% dehydration- 1l lossSodium deficit= 1*140 meq/mlSodium maintenance= 3meq/100 ml of water*daily fluids
Isotonic dehydration
• Replacement and maintenance by isotonic or ½ NS based fluids
• Give 100-70% of deficit at 1st day• Give 1st half of day fluids amount at 1st 8h and
rest at 16h• New recommendations- to give NS based
fluids to prevent iatrogenic hyponatremia
Ongoing Repletion and Maintenance Therapy
• Once the patient is stable
Persistent deficits+ ongoing losses+ maintenance fluids
Fluid maintenance: Holliday Segar formula
• 1st 10kg- 100 ml/kg• 2nd 10kg- 50ml/kg• Others- 20ml/kg
• ~400 ml/m²/d+ renal sensible loss
Caloric (energy) maintenance• The daily fluid requirement is the same as the
daily caloric requirement (e.g., if a child requires 1000 cc fluid, he also requires 1000 Kcalorie
• In terms of fluids, calories most often provided as dextrose (glucose)
• Difficult to provide total daily caloric requirement intravenously unless using TPN
• Most often, it is sufficient to provide 20% of total daily caloric requirement intravenously so as to prevent ketosis
Ongoing loses
• Sensible: diuresis and diarrhea (rectal tube)• Insensible: feces, skin, respiration• 10ml/kg for each diarrhea• Burns- Parkland formula: BSA*4*mass for
>20% of TBS of 2nd degree and > • Tachypnea: 5-10ml/kg/10resp> normal• Hyperthermia: 5-10 ml/kg/1°>38• Vomiting:5-10 ml/kg/event
Decreased maintenance
• SIADH• Ventilated children• Inactive/hypothermic children
Example of isotonic dehydration
• 1y boy with moderate dehydration
• Water and sodium (Na) deficitssimple calculation: loss of 1 l of isotonic fluidsWater deficit: 10 kg × 10% = 1 LNa deficit: 1 L × 140 mEq/L = 140 mEq
• Emergent fluid repletion with NS or D5% NS20 mL/kg × 10 kg = 200 mL (200 mL water and ≈30 mEq sodium)
Ongoing repletion and maintenance requirementsRemaining water deficit: 1,000 mL - 200 mL = 800 mLDaily maintenance water requirement: 100 mL/kg/day × 10 kg = 1,000 mL/day800 mL + 1,000 mL = 1,800 mL/24 h = 75 mL/hRemaining Na deficit: 140 mEq - 30 mEq = 110 mEqMaintenance sodium requirement: 3 mEq/100 mL water × 1,000 mL/day = 30 mEq/day110 mEq + 30 mEq = 140 mEq/24 h140 mEq/1,800 mL ≈ 0.45% sodium chloride (½ NS)
Maintenance potassium requirement: 3 mEq/100 mL water × 1,000 mL/day = 30 mEq/day30 mEq/1,800 mL ≈15–20 mEq/LIntravenous fluid based upon deficit calculations:D5% 1/2 NS with 20 mEq/L KCl at 75 mL/h
Ongoing lossesExtrarenal losses should be replaced mL-for-mL if volumes are significant.The sodium content of the fluid lost should be estimated or measured in order to select the appropriate replacement fluid.

• Water and sodium deficitsTotal water deficit: 10 kg × 10% = 1 LTBW(c) = TBW(n) - 1L = (10 kg × 65%) - 1 L = 5.5LFree water deficit: TBW(c)[(155/140) - 1] = 5.5[(155/140) - 1] = 0.59 LIsotonic deficit = total water deficit - free water deficit = 0.41 LSodium deficit: 0.41 L × 140 mEq/L ≈ 60 mEq
• Emergent fluid repletion with NS or D5%NS20 mL/kg × 10 kg = 200 mL (200 mL water and ~30 mEq sodium)
Ongoing repletion and maintenance requirementsRemaining total water deficit: 1,000 mL - 200 mL = 800 mL, plan to replace over 36–48 h or 400 mL/day × 2 daysDaily maintenance water requirement: 100 mL/kg/day × 10 kg = 1,000 mL/day1,000 mL + 400 mL = 1,400/24 h or ≈60 mL/hRemaining sodium deficit: 60 mEq - 30 mEq = 30 mEqMaintenance sodium requirement: 3 mEq/100 mL of water intake × 1,000 mL/day = 30 mEq/dayTotal sodium requirement: 30 mEq + 30 mEq = 60 mEq60 mEq/1,400 mL or ≈0.225% sodium chloride

• Correct sodium 10-12 mEq/l per 24 h• Acute states- rate may be higher• Chronic state- decrease the rate of correction• Estimate the rate of correction by planning of
free water deficit replacement
Sodium
• Predominant solute of extracellular space• Concentration inversely related to total body water• Osmotic gradient• Membrane potential• Normal measured concentration: 135-145• Measured Na ( +0.016 *serum glucose (mg/dL)=
Corrected serum Na• Other pseudohyponatremias- hyperlipidemia &
paraproteinemia
sodium
• Normal intake: 2-3 meq/kg/d
Signs of hypernatremia
• 145- 150-158- mild/moderate signs– Intense thirst– restlessness
Severe hypernatremia
• 158–160 mmol/l• severe signs due to rupture of brain vessels
especially in rapid developed hypernatremia due to brain volume fall with subsequent brain separation from meninx
Severe hypernatremia
– Absent thirst– altered mental status– anorexia– muscle weakness– nausea– vomiting– lethargy– irritability– Stupor or coma– vascular rupture with cerebral bleeding and
subarachnoid hemorrhages
• Chronic hyperNa- minimal neurological symptoms due to neuronal adaptation by osmolytes (amino acids and carbohydrates) production within 72 h- don’t repair rapidly to prevent brain edema
correction
• 1st step- correct intravascular volume depletion by bolus
• A & B stabilisation• For acute hypernatremia- acute correction 1
mmol/h• For hypernatremia of longer or unknown
duration- slow correction 0.5 mmol/h till145
• Anorexia• Headache• Nausea• Vomiting• Irritability• Disorientation• Weakness & cramps- rhabdomyolisis• Seizures and coma due to cerebral edema in case of
rapidly progressive hyponatremia• Death
1st tx step- volume replacement by isotonic fluids especially in hemodinamically unstable patient + A& B stabilization including intubation and seizures control
• Correction: 8–12 mmol/l/d for chronic hyponatremia to prevent demyelination
• Mechanism of demyelination: rapid osmolarity repair→ fluid efflux from brain blood barrier endothelium→ endotheliocytes constriction→ opening pores in BBB→ plasma inflammatory substances (TNF & interferon) attack of glya
• Acute tx for acute severe hyponatremia (symptomatic): start after hemodynamic stabilization 4-6 ml/kg NaCl3% bolus
• Water restriction and loop diuretics+ salt supplements in neurologically intact or hypervolaemic patient without fluid resuscitation
• Water restriction in euvolaemia
Signs
Muscular:• Usually ascending• doesn’t involve respiratory muscles- DD with hypo
K• appears then K>8• Fatigue• Weakness• Paresthesia• muscular paralysis/tetany
Cardiac: • Peaked T- earliest ECG sign• 2nd- flat P• prolonged PR/QRS, BBB, VF, asystole
• The rapider K rises the severer clinical picture• Hyponatremia, acidosis, hypoCa- more rapid
and sever clinical picture• Pseudo hyperkalemia: serum K- plasma K> 0.3
mmol
treatment
• Ca to prevent arrhythmia• Insulin +D• Bicarbonate• Ventoline• Key oxalate• diuretics
signs
• Mild 3.0-3.5 mmol/l- arrhythmia in cardiac patients
Moderate 3- 2.5:
• ascending muscle weakness & diaphragmatic paralysis
