Questions to ask before prescribing fluid

• Does my patient need intravenous fluid?

• Why does my patient need intravenous fluid?

• How much and which fluid does he need?

Does he need fluid?

• May be drinking• May be on NG feed/TPN – both of these

contain fluid which counts as maintenance• May be receiving many drug infusions e.g.

antibiotics/paracetamol – can amount to 1+ litre/day

• He may only need a bit of maintenance fluid• This calculation should be done for each

patient

Why does he need fluid?

• Maintenance –water and electrolytes • To supply the daily needs –

(e.g. 4% dextrose/0.18%saline/KCl)• Replacement To replace ongoing losses • know the content of the fluid! (usually

crystalloid)• Resuscitation - e.g.colloid/blood

• To correct an intravascular or extracellular volume deficit

Fluid balance charts

Always calculate the balance between inputs and outputs

Sources of daily water loss

• Urine 1200-1500 ml/d (30ml/hr)

• Sweat 200-400 ml/d

• Lungs 500ml/d

• Feces 100-200 ml/d

MAINTENANCE

If you were on a desert island, would you drink

from the sea or a stream?

0.9% saline is not a maintenance fluid

MAINTENANCE

• Prescribe maintenance if not drinking >6hrs • 4%/0.18% dextrose/saline with 20mmol potassium in

500ml, or 40mmol in 1 litre (1 litre is cheaper). Or no potassium

• Prescribe in ml/hr via a pump.• The correct volume of this by weight per day for

maintenance will provide roughly the correct amount of sodium and potassium for each patient. Maximum 100ml/hr to avoid hyponatraemia.

Potassium

• A normal serum potassium is not an indication that the patient does not need potassium – it just means that their stores haven’t run out yet.

• A low potassium means that losses are high and body stores very low.

• A high potassium may be drug related but commonly is due to acute renal failure – monitor U&Es and do not give extra K.

• Remember that TPN, NG feed and food contain K

Sodium

• We all need some. However most drugs contain sodium so we don’t need to give a lot in fluids unless the patient is losing it.

• Causes of a low Na – too much fluid (commonest cause in hospital!) – fluid restrict

• SIADH inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion– pneumonia, brain pathology

• High Na loss – usually upper GI losses – tend to be obvious

4 – 2 – 1 Rule

• 100 – 50 – 20 Rule for daily fluid requirements

• 4 mL/kg for 1st 10 kg• 2 mL/kg for 2nd 10 kg• 1 mL/kg for each additional kg

Maintenance Fluids: Example

• 60 kg female• 1st 10 kg: 4 mL/kg x 10 kg = 40 mL• 2nd 10 kg: 2 mL/kg x 10 kg = 20 mL• Remaining: 60 kg – 20 kg = 40 kg

1 mL/kg x 40 kg = 40 mL• Maintenance Rate = 120 mL/hr

REPLACEMENT

• Losses should be accounted for with replacement fluid: balanced solution( Hartmanns – Ringers Lactate)

• Work out how much patient is losing and replace this with Hartmanns or RL – better to calculate retrospectively and replace.

• Fluid prescriptions for losses must be reviewed regularly and updated.

Fluid Deficits

• Fasting• Bowel Loss (Bowel Prep, vomiting, diarrhea)• Blood Loss

– Trauma– Fractures

• Burns• Sepsis• Pancreatitis

LOSSES

• Upper GI loss: stomach, small bowel ileostomy/fistula/bile leak: high Na and Cl content – may become hypochloraemic and alkalotic – appropriate to use 0.9%NaCl

• Lower GI loss: diarrhoea - lose lots of water and potassium: Hartmanns or RL is appropriate to replace + extra potassium

Insensible Fluid Loss

• Evaporative• Exudative• Tissue Edema (surgical manipulation)• Fluid Sequestration (bowel, lung)• Extent of fluid loss or redistribution (the “Third

Space”) dependent on type of surgical procedure

• Mobilization of Third Space Fluid POD#3

Insensible Fluid Loss

• 4 – 6 – 8 Rule• Replace with Crystalloid (NS, LR, Plasmalyte)• Minor: 4 mL/kg/hr• Moderate: 6 mL/kg/hr• Major: 8 mL/kg/h

Replacement Strategies

• Sweat: D5¼NS + 5 mEq KCl/L

• Gastric: D5½NS + 20 mEq KCl/L

• Biliary/pancreatic: LR• Small Bowel: LR• Colon: LR• 3rd space losses: LR

Example

• 68 kg female for laparoscopic cholecystectomy

• Fasted since midnight, OR start at 8am• Maintenance = 40 + 20 + 48 = 108 mL/hr• Deficit = 108 mL/hr x 8hr = 864 mL • 3rd Space (4mL/kg/hr) = 272 mL/hr

Example

• Intra-operative Fluid Replacement of:– Fluid Deficit 864 mL– Maintenance Fluid 108 mL/hr– 3rd Space Loss 272 mL/hr– Ongoing blood loss (crystalloid vs. colloid)

How much fluid does he need?

• Weight for maintenance 30-35 ml/kg/24hrs

• History, fasting, losses, sepsis, fluid balance charts

• Clinical status, current losses, fluid intake, urine output

• Electrolytes, Hb (may be raised in dehydration)

Shock

• Circulatory failure leading to inadequate perfusion and delivery of oxygen to vital organs

• Blood Pressure is often used as an indirect estimator of tissue perfusion

• Oxygen delivery is an interaction of Cardiac Output, Blood Volume, Systemic Vascular Resistance

Fluid Resuscitation of Shock

• Crystalloid Solutions– Normal saline– Ringers Lactate solution– Plasmalyte

• Colloid Solutions– Voluven– Emagel– Blood products (albumin, RBC, plasma)

Crystalloids

• Na+ main osmotically active particle• Useful for volume expansion (mainly interstitial space)• For maintenance infusion• Correction of electrolyte abnormality

CrystalloidsCrystalloids

• Isotonic crystalloids - Lactated Ringer’s, 0.9% NaCl - 25% remain intravascularly

• Hypertonic saline solutions - 3% NaCl

• Hypotonic solutions - D5W, 0.45% NaCl - < 10% remain intravascularly, inadequate for fluid resuscitation

Colloids vs Crystalloids

Crystalloid Solutions

• Normal Saline• Lactated Ringers Solution• Plasmalyte• Require 3:1 replacement of volume loss• e.g. estimate 1 L blood loss, require 3 L of

crystalloid to replace volume

Colloid SolutionsColloid Solutions

• Contain high molecular weight substancesdo not readily migrate across capillary walls

• Preparations - Albumin: 5%, 25% - Hydoxyethyl starches ie Voluven - Dextrans - Gelatins

- Fresh Frozen Plasma

The colloids are mainly in the intravascular compartment for a period lasting more than

Dextrans

• Polydisperse polymers of glucose (10% dextran 40 and 6% dextran 70)

• High power oncotic (directly proportional to the size)

• Remain in the vascular compartment in a variable depending on the size

• Elimination almost exclusively via the kidneys• Also used to reduce blood viscosity

Adverse effects of Dextrans

• Anaphylactic reactions (> Gelatin and HES)

• Renal dysfunction or IRA

• Interference with Coagulation

Gelatins

• MW 5000-50000 • Are polydisperse polypeptides derived from the

degradation of bovine collagen• Increase in the volume less than the amount infused

because they go into the interstitial space and are rapidly eliminated by the kidney

• Not accumulate in the blood• Can alter the haemostasis• Do not affect renal function

Gelatins

• Cross-linked or ossipoligelatin (Gelofundiol)

• Urea-cross-linked gelatin (Haemacel)

• Modified fluid gelatins or succinilate(Gelofusin)

Hydroxyethyl starch (HES)

• Colloids synthesis of derivatives from amylopectin (Corn or potato)

• The natural starches are unstable and rapidly hydrolyzed; the replacement of the hydroxyl group with a hydroxyethyl group in position C2-C3-C6 increases its solubility and retards the hydrolysis

• Good ability to expand the plasma volume• High capacity to bind water (20-30 ml / g)

Hydroxyethyl starch (HES) EFFECTS ON THE CIRCLE

• Increases the intravascular volume

• Improves the flow in the microcirculation

• Reduces blood viscosity and therefore the Vascular resistances

• Appears to reduce capillary permeability due to inflammation

(Seal the leakage)

EFFECTS ON RENAL FUNCTION • Recent studies show that patients

treated with HES may have renal dysfunction

• Some histological studies of transplanted kidneys showed tubular alterations but do not give any symptoms to the recipient (urinary hyperviscosity)

• Adequate hydration with crystalloid prevent these adverse effects on renal function

Hydroxyethyl starch (HES) EFFECTS ON

COAGULATION• Possible negative effects

that vary with the type of HES: those of "first generation" have effects more severe

• Mechanism of action is not entirely clear: possible inhibition of factor VIIIc and vWF and platelet function

STORAGE

• Itching for accumulation in the peripheral nerves even after a month

• Predominantly affects the hydroxyethyl starch "first generation"

Fluid therapy and haemostasis

Goals of Fluid Resuscitation

• Easily measured

– Mentation– Blood Pressure– Heart Rate– Jugular Venous Pressure– Urine Output


• A little less easily measured

– Central Venous Pressure (CVP)– Left Atrial Pressure– Central Venous Oxygen Saturation SCVO2

Mixed Venous Oxygenation

• Used as a surrogate marker of end organ perfusion and oxygen delivery

• Should be interpreted in context of other clinical information

• True mixed venous is drawn from the pulmonary artery (mixing of venous blood from upper and lower body)

• Often sample will be drawn from central venous catheter (superior vena cava, R atrium)

Mixed Venous Oxygenation

• Normal oxygen saturation of venous blood 68% – 77%

• Low SCVO2

– Tissues are extracting far more oxygen than usual, reflecting sub-optimal tissue perfusion (and oxygenation)

• Following trends of SCVO2 to guide resuscitation (fluids, RBC, inotropes, vasopressors)


• A bit more of a pain to measure

– Pulmonary Capillary Wedge Pressure (PCWP)– Systemic Vascular Resistance (SVR)– Cardiac Output / Cardiac Index
