FLUID THERAPY, electrolytes & Transfusion

I. FLUID THERAPY

Introduction

By eating and drinking our body gets the water, electrolytes, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and other substances. Within 24 hours the amount of water and electrolytes into and out through urine, feces, perspiration and breathing in adults steam about the same as in the table below.

Input (ml per 24 hours)


Output (ml per 24 hours)
Drink 800 - 1700 Urine 600 - 1600
Eating 500 -1000 Faeces 50-200
Oxidation 200-300 IWL 850-1200
Total 1500 - 3000 of 1500 - 3000

Fluid therapy is required if the body can not enter the water, electrolytes, and nutrients orally, for example on the state of the patient should be fasting a long time (for example because of surgery GI), bleeding a lot, hypovolemic shock, severe anorexia, nausea, vomiting continuously, etc. . With fluid therapy, water and electrolyte needs can be met. In addition, under certain circumstances, fluid therapy can be used as additional substances to include drugs and food regularly or can also be used to maintain acid-base balance.

Composition of Body Fluids

Water content at birth is around 75% BB and at the age of 1 month approximately 65% BB. The composition of body fluids in adult men is approximately 60% of body weight, while in adult women 50% BB. The rest are solid substances such as proteins, fats, carbohydrates, etc..

Water in the body are in several rooms, which amounted to 40% intracellular and extracellular by 20%. Extracellular fluid is a liquid contained in antarsel space (interstitial) equal to 15% and 5% plasma. Special antarsel fluid called cerebrospinal fluid, the liquid transeluler eg, joint fluid, peritoneal fluid, etc..

Water across the cell membrane easily, but other substances pass through it is difficult or requires a special process in order to cross it; therefore outside and electrolyte composition in different cells. Intracellular fluid contains many ions K, Mg and phosphate, whereas the extracellular fluid contains Na and Cl ions.

Plasma is blood minus blood cells such as erythrocytes, leukocytes and platelets. Serum is blood plasma minus clotting factors such as fibrinogen and protrombin. Hematocrit is a percentage of the volume of erythrocytes in the blood.

Water movement

Osmotic pressure is the pressure required to prevent leakage (diffusion) of fluid through a semipermeable membrane into another liquid that concentration is higher. Semipermeable membrane is a membrane that can pass water (solvent) but can not pass solutes such as proteins.

Plasma osmotic pressure was 285 ± 5 mOsm / L. Solution which has the same osmotic pressure is called an isotonic solution (eg 0.96% NaCl, dextran 5%, Ringer-Lactate), the solution has a lower osmotic pressure is called hypotonic solution (eg distilled water) and solutions that have a higher osmotic pressure is called condensation hypertonic.

Water Needs and Elekrolit

Basal fluid requirements (routine maintenance) is 30-40 ml / kg / day in adults. To determine the fluid requirements in children can use the following guidelines:

à 4 ml / kg / hour for the first weight 10 kg

à 2 ml / kg / hr added for the second weight 10 kg

à 1 ml / kg / hour for the remaining add further weight

Example

Patients with body weight 23 kg, hence the need basalnya fluid is:

(4 x 10) + (2 x 10) + (1 x 3) = 63 ml / hr

FLUID THERAPY

Definition

Fluid therapy is to maintain the action, replace the interior milieu within physiological limits.

Indication, among others:

- Acute loss of body fluids

- Loss of blood

- Anorexia

- Gastrointestinal disorders

Goal

The aim of fluid therapy described in the chart below.


Giving Techniques

The main priority in replacing the lost fluid volume is via the enteral route / physiology eg drinking or via NGT. For fluid therapy can be used in a short time the veins on the back of the hand, wrist area, forearm or cubital region. In small children and infants are often used areas of your foot, feet in front of the eyes or heads. Provision of fluid therapy in newborns can be done through the umbilical vein.

The use of needles anti-rust or anti trombogenik plastic catheters on peripheral veins usually need to be replaced every 1-3 days to avoid infection and jam drops. Giving intravenous fluids for more than three days should use big and long catheters inserted in the femoral vein, cubital vein, vena subclavia, external or internal jugular vein that ends as close as possible to the right atrium or the inferior or superior vena cava.

Fluid Therapy Success

Fluid therapy which successfully described with the increase in cardiac index, oxygen transport and oxygen consumption as well as decreased pulmonary vascular resistance and systemic vascular resistance.

1. II. Electrolyte THERAPY
2. a. Hyponatremia

1. SODIUM

Definition: serum Na + levels below normal (<135 mEq / L)

Hyponatremia is divided into:

1) hyponatremia à artifactual false

Reported laboratory error caused by:

* Hyperglycemic

Correction value of sodium (any increase in blood glucose of 100 mg / dl to reduce the sodium by 1.7 mEq / L)

* Hiperlipidemi

The measured serum osmolality will be normal or greater than the calculated osmolality (OSM = [2 x Na] + [Glukosa/18] + [BUN / 2.8])

Second) à hipervolemia dilutional hyponatremia with total body water expansion

Hyponatremia is caused by impaired excretion of water, it appears as edema; eg CHF, renal impairment and nephrotic syndrome.

3) hypovolemic hyponatremia à exceeds sodium depletion, water depletion, eg in renal failure, hypothyroidism and Addison's disease.

4) à euvolemik hyponatremia sodium and water depletion in the number of comparable

This happened to lose water and sodium through the digestive tract (in vomit, suction nasogastrik, diarrhea), loss to third cavity (on burns, surgery), excessive sweating, kidney and adrenal diseases (in uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, hipoaldosteron, Addison's disease , the recovery phase of renal disease).

Clinical picture

* Clinical features and severity of hyponatremia depends on the initial speed.
* Symptoms are more pronounced in rapidly developing hyponatremia.
• If the plasma Na decreased 10 mEq / L within several hours, patients may be nausea, vomiting, headaches and muscle cramps.
* If the plasma Na decreased 10 mEq / L in one hour can lead to severe headaches, lethargy, seizures, disorientation and coma.
* Perhaps the patient has signs of basic diseases (such as heart failure, Addison's disease).
* If hyponatremia occurs secondary to loss of fluids, there may be signs of shock such as hypotension and tachycardia.

Management of hyponatremia

* Overcome the basic disease
* Stop any drugs that contributed to the hyponatremia
* Correction of the long-standing hyponatremia gradually, whereas the more aggressive acute hyponatremia. Avoid excessive correction because it can cause central pontine myelinolysis
* Do not raise the serum Na is faster than 12 mEq / L in 24 hours in asymptomatic patients. If the patient is symptomatic, could increase by 1 to 1.5 mEq / L / hour until symptoms subside. To increase the amount of sodium required to raise serum sodium to 125 mEq / L used the formula:

Total Na (mEq) = [125 mEq / L - actual serum Na (mEq / L)] x TBW (in liters)

TBW (Total Body Water) = 0.6 x body weight (in kg)

* Solution can be a substitute for NaCl 3% or 5% (each containing 0.51 mEq / ml and 0.86 mEq / ml)
* In patients with expansion of extracellular fluid, diuretics may dperlukan
* Hyponatremia can be corrected with hypertonic NaCl (3%) with a speed of approximately 1 mL / kg per hour.

1. b. Hypernatremia

Definition: serum Na + above normal (> 145 mEq / L)

Causa

* Happen if hypotonic fluids lost are not replaced adequately.
* If you are not losing fluids through the kidneys (lost through the gastrointestinal tract, sweat or hyperventilation), urine osmolality greater than serum, and urine sodium will be <20 mEq / L.
* Urine osmolality less than or equal to imply the loss of serum through the kidneys (eg, diuretic therapy, osmotic diuresis, diabetes insipidus, acute tubular sekrosis, uropati post-obstruction, nephropathy hiperkalsemik).
* Hypernatremia can occur with hyperalimentation or other hypertonic fluids.

Signs and Symptoms

Muscle irritability, confusion, ataxia, tremors, convulsions and coma secondary to hypernatremia. Additional common secondary manifestation of the basic abnormalities and volume status (tachycardia and orthostatic hypotension with volume depletion; edema when there is excess fluid).

Management of hypernatremia

* Hypernatremia with volume depletion must be overcome by giving normal saline until hemodynamic stability. Furthermore, water deficit can be corrected with 5% dextrose or hypotonic NaCl.
* Hypernatremia with excess volume treated with diuresis, or if necessary by dialysis. Dextrose 5% and then given to replace the water deficit.
* Body of water deficit was estimated as follows:

Deficit = body water (TBW) for the desired (liter) - the body of water current

Body of water required = (who measured serum Na) x (water body current / normal serum Na)

Water body now = 0.6 x BB now (kg)

* Half of the calculated water deficit should be administered within the first 24 hours, and the remaining deficit is corrected within one or two days to avoid cerebral edema.

1. Potassium

Total body potassium approximate 50 mEq / kg, 98% contained in the cell. Decrease in serum levels of 1 mEq K + compared with 10% to 20% total body potassium deficit.

1. a. Hypokalaemia

Definition: K + serum levels below normal (<3.5 mEq / L)

Etiology

* Loss of K + via GI tract (eg vomiting, nasogastrik suction, diarrhea, malabsorption syndrome, laxative abuse)
* Diuretics
* K + intake from the diet is not enough
* Excessive excretion through the kidneys
* Maldistribusi K +
* Hiperaldosteron

Clinical features

Weak (especially the proximal muscles), maybe arefleksia, orthostatic hypotension, decreased gastrointestinal motility that cause ileus. Hiperpolarisasi myokard occurs in hypokalemia and can cause ventricular ectopic beats, Reentry phenomena, and conduction abnormalities. ECG frequently showed flat T waves, U waves and ST segment depression. Hypokalaemia is also causing an increase in sensitivity of heart cells and can lead to digitalis toxicity at therapeutic levels.

Management of hypokalaemia

* Potassium deficit is difficult or impossible to be corrected if there hipomagnesia. This often happens on wasteful use of diuretics potassium. Magnesium should be replaced if low serum.
* Oral therapy. K + supplementation (20 mEq KCl) should be given at the beginning of diuretic therapy. Recheck K + concentration from 2 to 4 weeks after supplementation began.
* Intravenous therapy should be used for severe hypokalemia and in patients who can not stand with oral supplementation. With the speed of the following:
o If the levels of serum K +> 2.4 mEq / L and no ECG abnormalities, K + can be given with a speed of 0 to 20 mEq / h with a maximum of 200 mEq per day.
o In children 0.5 to 1 mEq / kg / dose in one hour. Doses should not exceed the maximum adult dose.

1. b. Hyperkalemia

Definition: K + serum levels above normal (> 5.5 mEq / L)

Etiology

* Inadequate renal excretion; eg in acute or chronic renal failure, potassium-saving diuretics, ACE inhibitors.
* Expenses of potassium from the cell necrosis caused massive trauma (crush injuries), major surgery, burns, acute arterial embolism, hemolysis, gastrointestinal bleeding or rhabdomyolisis. Exogenous sources include potassium supplementation and salt replacement, blood transfusions and high doses of penicillin should also be considered.
* The shift from intra-to extracellular; eg acidosis, digitalization, deficiency of insulin or a rapid increase in blood osmolality.
* Adrenal insufficiency
* Pseudohiperkalemia. Secondary to hemolysis of blood samples or installation is too long torniket
* Hipoaldosteron

Clinical features

The most important effect is the change of heart eksitabilitas. ECG shows sequential changes along with the elevation of serum potassium. In the beginning, looked sharp T wave (K +> 6.5 mEq / L). This was followed by a PR interval extends, the P wave amplitude decreases, widened QRS complex (K + = 7 to 8 mEq / L). QT interval lengthening and finally lead to a sine-wave pattern. Ventricular fibrillation and asistole tend to occur in K +> 10 mEq / L. Other findings include paresthesias, weakness, and paralysis ascending arefleksia.

Management of hyperkalemia

* Continuous ECG monitoring is recommended if any ECG abnormalities or if the serum potassium> 7 mEq / L
* Calcium gluconate can be given iv as a 10 ml solution of 10% over 10 minutes to stabilize the cardiac conduction system myocard
* Sodium bicarbonate makes the blood becomes alkaline and causes potassium to move from extra to intracellular. Bic nat as much as 40 to 150 mEq NaHCO3 iv for 30 minutes or as an iv bolus in the emergency
* Insulin causes the displacement of potassium from extracellular to intracellular fluid. 5 to 10 units of regular insulin with one ampoule should be given 50% glucose iv for 5 minutes
* Dialysis may be needed in severe and refractory cases of hyperkalemia
* Restrictions potassium is indicated at an advanced stage renal failure (GFR <15 ml / min)

1. III. Transfusion

Body response to hemorrhage depends on the volume, speed, and duration of bleeding. State of the patient before the bleeding will affect the responses given.

In healthy adults, bleeding 10% total blood volume did not cause changes in physical signs. Pulse rate, blood pressure, circulation, peripheral and central venous pressure remained unchanged. Receptors in the heart will detect this and cause a decrease in the volume of vasomotor centers to stimulate the sympathetic nervous system which in turn causes vasoconstriction.

Decrease in arterial blood pressure at the tip of the capillary causes the displacement of fluid into the interstitial space is reduced. Decrease in renal perfusion caused water retention and Na + ions. This causes the blood volume returns to normal within 12 hours. Plasma protein levels rapidly became normal within two weeks, there'll also be generating extra hemopoesis erythrocytes. This compensation process is very effective until the bleeding as much as 30%.

On the bleeding that occurred under 50% or the hematocrit is still above 20%, blood loss can still be replaced with a liquid colloid with colloid or crystalloid combinations are similar in composition to the blood of Ringer Lactate. However if blood loss> 50%, usually required a transfusion.

To replace the lost blood can be used in the basic formula of blood transfusion, namely:

V = (target Hb - Hb initials) x 80% x BB

Donor Hb

1. 1. Red blood cell transfusions

Indications of a red blood cell transfusions

* Acute blood loss

If blood is lost due to trauma or surgery, then either the replacement of red blood cells and blood volume needed. If more than half the blood volume hlang, the complete blood should be given, if less than half, then concentrate red blood cells or plasma expander is given.

* Blood transfusion prabedah
* Iron deficiency Anema

Patients with iron deficiency can not be transfused, unless it is required for immediate surgery or who fail to respond to treatment at full therapeutic doses of oral iron.

* Anemia associated with chronic disorders
* Kidney failure

Severe anemia associated with renal failure should be treated with transfusions of red blood cells as well as with the human recombinant eritropoetin.

* Failure of bone marrow

Patients with bone marrow failure due to leukemia, cytotoxic treatment, or infiltrating malignancy will require not only red blood cells, but also other blood components.

* Patients who are dependent trasnfusi

Patients with severe thalassemia syndrome, aplastic anemia, and anemia requiring transfusion sideroblastik regularly every four to six weeks, so they are able to live a normal life.

Patients with sickle cell month *

Some people with this disease requires trasnfusi regularly, especially after the stoke, for "chest syndrome" recurrent life-threatening, and during pregnancy.

* Neonatal hemolytic disease

Neonatal hemolytic disease can also be an indication for transfusion substitute, if the neonate had severe hyperbilirubinemia or anemia.

Problems associated with transfusion of red blood cells

1. Urgent problem

* Expenses teradi circulation if the blood transfused too quickly so that rapid replacement of fluid redistribution occurs, or if there is cardiac dysfunction. Central venous pressure increased, and in cases of severe left ventricular failure
* Leakage of potassium out of the red blood cells during storage. This hyperkalemia dieksaserbasikan for blood storage at room temperature for too long
* Massive transfusion may cause hypothermia, toxicity, citric acid load, and shrinkage Platelet and coagulation factors
* Hemolytic reaction may cause fever, tachycardia, insomnia, sore groin, rigor, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, hypotension, shock, and eventually acute renal failure and bleeding due to DIC
* Raksi non-hemolytic can cause urticaria, fever and severe anaphylactic reactions, although rare

1. Medium-term problem

* Local phlebitis can occur if the plastic kanula abandoned in the same place too long. Sometimes an infection by the Staphylococcus or corinebacterium
* Hypertension and / or spasm syndrome is sometimes found in patients with sickle cell and b thalassemia major who received regular transfusions
* Infection can be transmitted by transfusion

1. Long-term problem

Iron burden. Every unit of blood contains 250 mg of iron that can not be excreted body. Regular transfusions can often cause tertimbunnya iron in the body resulting in pigmentation, growth inhibition in young people, hepatic cirrhosis, diabetes, hipoparatiroid, heart failure, arrhythmias, and ultimately death. Treatment with iron chelation should be considered in these patients before serious organ damage occurs.

1. Platelets Transfusion and Granulocyt

Platelet and granulocyte transfusions are necessary for patients with life-threatening thrombocytopenia and netropenia caused by bone marrow failure. This situation is probably a direct result of disease sufferers, such as acute leukemia, anemia aplastika, or bone marrow transplant.

Platelet transfusion indication

* Failure of bone marrow by disease or treatment yangdisebabkan mielotoksik
* Abnormalities of thrombocyte function
* Thrombocytopenia due to dilution
* Shortcuts cardiopulmonary
* Autoimmune thrombocytopenia purpura

Adverse effects on Platelet transfusion

Adverse effects on Platelet transfusion is the emergence kerefrakteran platelets, aloimunisasi, transmission of the disease and sometimes graft versus host disease.

Indications of granulocyte transfusion

* Neutropenia persistent and severe infections - If the neutrophil count kept less than 0.2 x 109 / L and there is clear evidence of bacterial or fungal infections that can not be controlled with proper medication use antibotik within 48-72 hours.
* Abnormal neutrophil function and persistent infection
* Neonatal Sepsis

Granulocyte transfusion adverse effects

Detrimental effect on the incidence of transfusion of granulocytes is aloimunisasi, transmission of infection, lung infiltration, and a graft versus host disease.
