Test your basic knowledge |

Emergency Medicine: Fluid Therapy

Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. 20% body weight






2. Albumin






3. A particle that does not generate osmotic pressure because it is freely permeable across a membrane.






4. Primarily in the vascular space - depending on vascular permeability -increases vascualar volume by 1 to 1.5x volume given






5. Osteomyelitis -often only short-lived access






6. 5% body weight






7. 0.45% NaCl -D5W -Norm M






8. Occur at the loss of 30% of blood volume -occur when dehydration reached 10% of body weight






9. All body fluids are iso-osmolar is relation to other body flids despite a different ionic composition.






10. Access to a vascular space when IV is not possible -rapid placement






11. 6% body weight






12. Along with magnesium - constitutes the majority of positively charged ions in the ICF.






13. 70 x BW (kg)^0.75






14. The loss of isotonic fluids from the ECF - primarily from the interstitium






15. Proportional to the number of non-dissociable (active) ions in solution -not a function of the weight of an ion






16. 30% body weight






17. Dose dependent coagulopathy due to dilution of clotting factors and impaired platelet aggregation - especially with hetastarch.






18. Osmolality of solution is approximately equal to that of blood - replacing water as well as electrolytes.






19. Generates osmotic pressure by causing a shift of water across a boundary that is not permeable to the osmotically active particle.






20. Obese animals have increased elasticity -very thin animals have decreased elasticity






21. Polydispersed complex starch dissolved in 0.9% NaCl -small molecules confer oncotic pressure -large molecule confer duration of action -a synthetic colloid






22. 4% body weight






23. The amount of saliva and tear film varies inversely with - hydration status -this is a qualitative test






24. Extracellular water + intracellular water






25. 1/4 from the intravascular space -3/4 from the interstitium






26. A decrease in in capillary oncotic pressure due to protein loss resulting in filtration of fluid into the interstitial fluid.






27. Creation of acid-base disorders -tissue edema -pro-inflammatory effects






28. Maintain the animal in zero fluid balance - with input equaling output.






29. Osmolality of ECF does not change - initiating no fluid shift - between the ECF and ICF -ECF decreases - TBW decreases - and ICF is static






30. 20 to 25 mmHG






31. Replacing a free water deficit (hypernatremia) -during heart or renal disease when the patient has an impaired ability to handle sodium -maintenance fluid therapy (lower Na - high K)






32. Categorized based on tonicity compared to normal plasma -categorized based on electrolyte composition -categorized based on acid-base effects






33. The concentration of effective osmoles.






34. A natural colloid that is not very efficient at raising albumin or COP.






35. LRS (lactate) -Plasmalyte (acetate) -Norm R (gluconate) -each provides a bicarbonate precursor






36. Pain and irritation -pressure necrosis -infection






37. 300 mosm/L






38. 60% body weight






39. Saliva -evaporation at skin -evaporation at the respiratory tract






40. Resuscitation -treating cerebral edema due to head trauma -correction of acute hyponatremia






41. Increased colloid oncotic pressure -shorter duration of effect due to rapid excretion






42. 8% body weight






43. 0.9% NaCl -Plasmalyte -LRS






44. Plasma proteins -sodium and associated anions






45. Potassium - magnesium - and associated anions.






46. Decreased colloid oncotic pressure -longer duration of action due to longer circulation time






47. Used in neonates and avian species with limited vascular access.






48. Urinary -fecal






49. Osmolality of solution is greater than that of blood - causing a shift from fluid from the intersitium into the vascular space and rapid vascular volume expansion.






50. Mucous membrane moistness -skin elasticity -position of the eye in orbit -changes in body weight -volume status (signs of hypovolemia) -thirst mechanism
