2. ANATOMY OF BODY FLUID COMPARTMENTS 1) TOTAL BODY WATER : Water constitutes 60% of total body weight as measured by deuterium oxide or tritiated water. Males 60%, Females 50% normal variation + 15%. Highest proportion of total body water is in newborn infants with maximum of 75 to 80%. At Yr. 65%. 2) VOLUME OF TOTAL BODY WATER IS - 40 Lts. ICF - 25 Lts. (40%) ECF (Plasma & - 15 Lts. (20%) Interstitial fluid) 3) IONIC COMPOSITION OF ICF AND ECF ICF : Cations Anions K+,Mg+ Phosphate & Proteins. ECF : Cations Anions Na+ Cl, HCO3 4) OSMOLARITY of body fluid is 290 to 300 mOSm / Lt.
3. ANATOMY OF BODY FLUID COMPARTMENTS Cell wall acts as a semipermeable membrane. As water is freely permeable, it maintains osmotic equilibrium despite the changes in ICF and ECF.

6. MANAGEMENT STRATEGY IN VOLUME CHANGES * Restriction of further water and salt intake * Diuretic therapy for more severe overload with myocardial inotropic support as necessary. * In cases with severe renal impairment, removal of excessive volume by haemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. * Estimate of the deficit * An account of the maintenance requirement * The replacement of continuing excessive losses. * Modifications reflecting the effects of associated stress, surgery, age, size, cardiac and renal functions VOLUME EXCESS VOLUME DEFICIT

9. COMPOSITION CHANGES HENDERSON HASSELBACH EQUATION i.e. 6.1 + 1.34 = 7.4 pH of the human body ranges between 7.36 to 7.44 TYPES OF COMPOSITION CHANGES * Respiratory Acidosis * Respiratory Alkalosis * Metabolic Acidosis * Metabolic Alkalosis
10. COMPOSITION CHANGES This is by the restoration of normal alveolar ventilation : Treatment Renal Retention of HCO 3 . Excretion of acid salts. Increase NH3 formation. Cl Shift into cells. : Compensation Increased denominator Ratio <20 : 1 : Depression of Resp. center CNS injury Pulmonary Disease : Causes CO 2 retention (decreased alveolar ventilation) : Defect RESPIRATORY ACIDOSIS
11. COMPOSITION CHANGES Correction of the underlying cause, including the alleviation of pain, emotional distress and hypoxia. Rebreathing and increasing airway dead space are both used where appropriate. : Treatment Renal Excretion of HCO 3 . Retention of acid salts. Decreased NH3. : Compensation Decreased denominator Ratio >20 : 1 : Hyperventilation Pain Assisted Ventilation : Causes Increased loss of CO 2 (increased alveolar ventilation) : Defect RESPIRATORY ALKALOSIS
12. COMPOSITION CHANGES Removal of the underlying cause / Reestablishment of volume and adequate perfusion rapidly reverses lactice acidosis. Sodium bicarbonate infusion should be used cautiously. Large doses may be needed to restore cardiac function (2-3 mmol/kg) following cardiac arrest with acute and severe acidosis. Replacement is calculated from the equation. (24-plasma [HCO3-]) x estimated ECF. : Treatment Pulmonary Increased rate and depth of breathing Renal (Slow) : Compensation Decreased Numerator Ratio < 20 : 1 : Diabetes Azotemia Diarrhoea & small bowel fistula. : Causes Retention of fixed acids Loss of base HCO 3 : Defect METABOLIC ACIDOSIS
13. COMPOSITION CHANGES Volume repletion with saline and K+ repletion with KCI are usually adequate to correct the alkalosis. Oral NH 4 Cl or 0.1 molar HCI acid infusion are rarely, if ever indicated. : Treatment Pulmonary (rapid) Decreased rate and depth of breathing. Renal (Slow) : Compensation Increased Numerator Ratio > 20 : 1 : Pyloric Obstruction. Excess intake of HCO 3 . Diuretics. : Causes Loss of fixed acids. Gain of base HCO 3 K depletion. : Defect METABOLIC ALKALOSIS

15. MIXED ACID-BASE DISTURBANCES * These are difficult to diagnose. * These tend to cancel each other out and result in minimal pH change. E.G. Metabolic acidosis in combination with respiratory alkalosis may occur with speticaemia. Metabolic acidosis with a respiratory acidosis is a frequent event in the emergency situation of cardio respiratory arrest. Standard HCO 3 : Conc. Of bicarbonate in plasma, when whole blood with fully oxygenated hemoglobin has been equilibrated with CO 2 at a PCO 2 of 40mm. Of Hg. At a temp of 38 0 C. SBC : 24.5 mEq/L Base excess directly expresses the amount in mEq of fixed base (fixed acid) added to each liter of blood. +ve value – base excess -ve value – excess acid (base deficit) Base Deficit or excess (mEq) = + (BE) x 0.30 x body wt.
