Fluid and Electrolytes Imbalances Fluid Compartments: * Extracellular Fluid (ECF) – This is fluid found outside of the cells and the amount of ECF decreases with age. In the newborn for example‚ approximately ½ of the body fluid is contained in the ECF. By the time the infant has reached one year old; the ECF has decreased to approximately 1/3 of the total volume. In an average 70 kg adult the ECF is approximately 15 liters of total volume. ECF can further be divided into the following:

The arterial blood gas showed findings of respiratory alkalosis with metabolic acidosis. The excessive loss of carbon dioxide through hyperventilation and hypoxemia was an early stage of pulmonary problems such as pneumonia and asthma. The urinalysis showed findings of proteinuria and turbid transparency‚ which indicate

Bio 104-03 Lab #3- Acids Bases‚ and Buffers 1. An acid is a substance that releases hydrogen ions as they desolve in water and ranks lower than seven on the pH scale. An example of an acidic substance is lemon juice. A base is a substance that accepts hydrogen ions and ranks higher than seven on the pH scale. An example of a base substance is hand soap. A neutral substance ranks a seven on the pH scale and has equal concentrations of H+ and OH-. An example of this is pure water. Electrolytes

In majority of cases‚ some degree of acid-base disturbances exist. A mixed respiratory alkalosis and metabolic acidosis with either normal or high arterial pH (normal or decreased hydrogen ion conc.) is usual in adults and children ages 4 years or over. In children aged under 4 years‚ a dominant metabolic acidosis with low arterial pH (raised hydrogen ion concentration) is common. Increased acidity in the blood‚ may increase salicylate transfer

left half of the chest and dyspnea appear in a patient during walking. This pain increases during respiration. The attack of the pain was stopped by using narcotics. At examination of the patient following data were revealed: severe condition‚ respiratory rate is 28 per min.‚ respiration is shallow and is dull in left axillary region. Blood pressure is 140/80 mmHg. Patient has sputum with blood. This patient has varicose dilation of veins. In purpose to correct main pathogenetic link it is necessary

Maternal mortality due to sepsis is worryingly increasing through developed and developing countries. This is despite a worldwide effort towards reducing maternal death‚ maternal sepsis during pregnancy remains one of the worlds leading causes of preventable maternal death. In developed countries 3% of all maternal mortality is due to sepsis‚ whilst that figure jumps to 12% in developing countries. Pregnancy affected by severe sepsis or septci shock‚ run the risk of pre-term labour‚ fetal infect
