Electrolyte fluid balance

1. ELECTROLYTE FLUID BALANCE Presented by: Mubashra Saif Presented to: Sir Tayyab

2. Introduction Electrolytes are substances that dissolve in water, break into ions (charged particles), and conduct electricity Electrically charged minerals that regulate various bodily functions, maintain fluid balance, and enable nerve and muscle function

3. Categories of Electrolytes Cations (Positively charged) e.g. Mg, Na, K, Ca Anions (Negatively charged) e.g. Cl, PO4, HCO3-

4. FLUID Fluids in the body refer to the various liquids that circulate, bathe, and flow through the body's tissues, organs, and systems

5. Functions of Fluids in the body Regulating body temperature Transporting nutrients and oxygen Removing waste products Maintaining pH balance Supporting immune function Lubricating joints and muscles Aiding digestion and absorption

6. Electrolyte Fluid Balance Electrolytes fluid balance is the delicate balance between electrically charged minerals (electrolytes) and bodily fluids. It regulates various bodily functions, maintains proper fluid distribution, and enables nerve and muscle function. Optimal balance ensures proper hydration, nerve conduction, muscle contractions, and overall bodily functions.

7. Steps to maintain electrolyte fluid balance Step 1: Intake - Consume electrolyte-rich foods (fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds)- Drink electrolyte-containing beverages (sports drinks, coconut water)- Stay hydrated with water Step 2: Absorption - Electrolytes are absorbed into the bloodstream through the gut- Adequate digestive enzymes and gut health support absorption Step 3: Distribution - Electrolytes are transported to cells, tissues, and organs- Blood vessels and lymphatic system facilitate distribution Step 4: Regulation - Hormones (e.g., aldosterone, vasopressin) regulate electrolyte balance- Kidneys adjust electrolyte levels through urine production Step 5: Excretion - Excess electrolytes are removed through urine, sweat, and feces- Kidneys filter waste and excess electrolytes Step 6: Monitoring - The body senses changes in electrolyte levels through hormonal signals and adjusts intake, absorption, and excretion accordingly

8. Electrolyte-fluid balance and Surgery Electrolyte-fluid balance plays a crucial role in surgery, preoperatively, intraoperatively, and postoperatively. Here are some key roles: Preoperative: Optimization : Ensuring electrolyte-fluid balance before surgery reduces complications. Risk assessment : Identifying imbalances helps anesthesiologists and surgeons anticipate potential issues.

9. Cont.………. Intraoperative: Maintenance : Monitoring and maintaining electrolyte-fluid balance during surgery prevents: - Hypotension (low blood pressure) - Hypertension (high blood pressure) - Cardiac arrhythmias - Electrolyte shifts Fluid management : Balancing fluids and electrolytes helps maintain: - Blood volume - Blood pressure - Organ perfusion

10. Postoperative: Recovery: Electrolyte-fluid balance supports: - Healing - Tissue repair - Organ function recovery Complication prevention : Monitoring and addressing imbalances helps prevent: - Dehydration - Electrolyte disturbances - Fluid overload - Cardiac complications

11. When electrolyte fluid balance is maintained Fluids are properly distributed and retained Electrolyte concentrations are optimal pH levels are stable Nerve and muscle function properly Hydration is adequate

12. Imbalance in Electrolyte fluid balance Dehydration Overhydration Electrolyte deficiencies or excesses Fluid shifts (e.g., edema, hypotension) Disrupted bodily functions

13. Maintaining electrolyte-fluid balance Proper bodily functions Hydration Exercise performance Overall health and well-being
