Key Concepts
• Volume status (EABV) “think” saline in ECF
• Cannot be measured in the lab…
• TBW (Total Body Water) “think” [Na+ mEq/L]
Laboratory result… must examine the patient
• IV FLUID orders: Volume - Water - K+ - Acid/base
3 Key Concepts in Fluid and Electrolyte
Physiology
• Cell membrane permeability
• Osmolality
• Electroneutrality
Cell Membrane Permeability
Osmolarity vs Osmolality
• Osmolarity is defined as the concentration of the
solute per liter of solution
• Osmolality is concentration of the solute/kg
solvent (usually plasma or urine)
• Sodium accounts for 97-98% of plasma osmolality
(range 287  7 mOsm/Kg)
• mOsm/kg = 2X[Na+ mEq/L] + (glucose mg/dL)/18 + (BUN mg/dL)/2.8
Electroneutrality
• Primary extracellular cation is SODIUM
• Primary intracellular cation is POTASSIUM
• Plasma (ECF) is the only compartment readily accessible
Body Fluid Compartments
• Adult humans are 50% - 70% water
• Women and the elderly have higher % of body fat
than young men, and thus less water.
• For all practical purposes, assume that
TBW = 0.60 X WT (kg)
Body Fluid Compartments
• 70 kg male (TBW=0.6 X wt)

EABV
Body Fluid Compartments
• The composition of the ECF is roughly the same
as the interstitial space with the exception of
proteins which are trapped within the vascular
lumens.
• The distribution of fluid between these two spaces
is determined by Starling Forces.
Volume Homeostasis
• ECF Volume is linked to total body sodium
• Important: Total body sodium is not concentration
• Concentration depends not only on amount of
sodium but also the amount of water
• Total body sodium is regulated by the kidneys
• Input minus output equals accumulation…
Volume Depletion
(a.k.a Hypovolemia)
• Decreased ECF volume is always sensed as a decrease in
the “Effective Arterial Blood Volume (EABV)”
• The EABV signals the kidney whether to reabsorb or excrete
sodium.
• No direct measure of the EABV, it is determined by blood
volume, cardiac output, and systemic vascular resistance
• Decreased “EABV” results in Na+ retention and
expansion of ECF volume
Clinical Signs of Hypovolemia

Orthostatic hypotension
Tachycardia

Management of Hypovolemia
• The primary fluid prescribed for hypovolemia is
•
•
•
•
Normal Saline
In the management of hypovolemia, there is no
place for ½NS or D5W….
Transfusion
Albumin
Hetastarch (Hespan ®) or Plasmanate ®
IV fluids: continued
• Addition of an isotonic fluid (0.9% NaCl)
expands the ECF but doesn’t change the
IntraCellularFluid
• Addition of a hypotonic fluid (D5W) will cause
movement of water into the cells.
• Addition of a hypertonic fluid (3% saline) will
cause movement of water out of the cells.
Why is Normal Saline the “drug of
choice”?
• If you give 1 Liter of Normal Saline (0.9% NaCl),
the NaCl is restricted to the ECF, therefore the
entire liter stays in this space. 75% (750 ml) in
the interstitial fluid and 25% (250 ml) in the
intravascular space.

10.5L (70 kg X 15% = 10.5)
6.3L (70 kg X 9% = 6.3)
IV Fluids: what about 0.45% saline?
• Think of 0.45% NaCl as 500ml of saline and 500 ml of
water.
• The saline distributes to the ECF compartment alone.
75% (375 ml) in the interstitial space and 25% (125
ml) in the intravascular space.
• The water distributes 66% (330 ml) to the intracellular
space & 33% (170 ml) to the ECF. Of the 170 ml to
ECF, only 25% or 42.5 ml stays in the intravascular
space.
Fluid Prescriptions
Thus of our 1L 0.45NaCl, only 125 + 42.5 =
167.5 ml stays in the intravascular space
When should you use hypotonic
solutions?
• If there is a need to administer water to the patient
(because of a water deficit state)
• Maintenance fluids (not volume replacement)
• D5W, D5¼NS or D5½NS may be used in
combination with bicarbonate if there is a need to
administer base.
Clinical Signs & Symptoms of Volume
Expansion
•
•
•
•
•
•
Jugular venous distension +/- S3 gallop
Dyspnea
Ascites – this could be debated
Pulmonary edema
Pleural effusions
Peripheral edema (remember hypoalbuminemia)
Management of Hypervolemia
• Goal of treatment
• Removal of extracellular fluid
•
•
•
•
•
Loop Diuretics
Salt restriction (PO and IV)
Dialysis/CVVHD
Phlebotomy
Rotating tourniquets
Pathways of Water Balance
Calculate the Water Deficit…
• [0.6] x (wt in Kg) X [{Na/140} – 1]
The water deficit should be fixed in the form of water (D5W or tap
water).
Water repletion is over and above the maintenance fluids which may be
either isotonic or hypotonic.
How do you write IV Fluid orders?
Input – output = accumulation
• Volume balance
• Water balance
• Potassium (deficit, CKD, Mg++, presence of
acidosis or alkalosis)
• Acid base (administration of bicarbonate or HCl)

Acute Symptomatic Hyponatremia
• Duration <48 hrs
• Increase serum [Na] rapidly by approximately 2 mM/L/hr until
resolution of symptoms.
• Full correction probably safe, but not necessary
• Hypertonic Saline 1-2 ml/kg/hr
• Coadministration of Furosemide
Note: The sum of urinary cations (U Na + U K ) should be less than the concentration of infused sodium
to ensure excretion of electrolyte free water.
Cerebral Adaptation to Hyponatremia
Chronic Symptomatic Hyponatremia
• Duration >48 hrs or unknown
• Initial increase in serum [Na] by 10% or 10 mM/L
• Hypertonic Saline 1-2 ml/kg/hr
• Co-administration of Furosemide
• Perform frequent neurologic evaluations; correction rate may be reduced
with improvements in symptoms
• Perform frequent measurement of serum and urine electrolytes
• At no time should correction exceed rate of 1.5 mM/L/hr, or increment of 15
mmol/day
• Change to water restriction upon 10% increase of [Na], or if symptoms resolve
Note: The sum of urinary cations (U Na + U K ) should be less than the concentration of infused sodium
to ensure excretion of electrolyte free water.

The Hypernatremic Patient
Guidelines for the Treatment of
Symptomatic Hypernatremia
• Correct at a rate of 2 mM/L/hr
• Replace half of the calculated water deficit over the first 1224 hrs.
• Replace the remaining deficit over the next 24-36 hrs.
• Perform serial neurologic examinations - prescribed rate of
correction can be decreased with improvement in
symptoms
• Measure serum and urine electrolytes every 1-2 hrs.
Note: If U[Na] + U[K] is less than the concentration of P[Na], then there are ongoing water losses that
need to be replaced
Treatment of Hyponatremia
• Three Key Questions
• Is the patient symptomatic?
• What is the duration of Hyponatremia?
• Are there any risk factors for the development of
neurologic complications?
