Percentage of water in human body Fetus - 100% Less – fat / lean body mass, female, old More – infants, muscular body
Body Fluid Compartments (Based on Average 70-kg Male) Compartment Fluid as Percent Body Weight (%) Total Body Water (%) Fluid Volume (L) Intracellular 40 67 28 Extracellular Interstitial 15 25 10.5 Intravascular 5 8 3.5 Total 60 100 42
Fluid Compartments Total Body Water (TBW) Intracellular fluid Extracellular fluid 2/3 of TBW 1/3 of TBW - Interstitial fluid 4/5 - Plasma 1/5
Balance Concept If the quantity of a substance is to remain stable within the body, its input by means of ingestion or metabolic production must be balanced by means of excretion or metabolic consumption. Total body input = output Stable balance Gain via input > loss via output positive balance Loss via output > gain via input negative balance
Body fluid movement Diffusion : process by which dissolved substances cross semi-permeable membranes leading to equal conc. on both sides Simple Fascilatated (diffusion with the help of carriers) Osmosis : process of transfer of water across a semi-permeable membrane when equilibrium cannot be achieved by just diffusion of solute molecules (when they are too large to pass through pores)- this force is osmotic pressure.
Filtration: H 2 O and dissolved substances move from an area of greater hydrostatic pressure to an area of lesser hydrostatic pressure Active transport: Transport with the help of activated pumps like Na+-K+ pump.
Regulation of Fluid in Human Body ECF – acts as intermediary between the cells and external environment All exchanges of H 2 O and other constituents between ICF and external world must occur through ECF Plasma is the only fluid that can be acted upon to control the volume and composition. ICF in turn is influenced by changes in the ECF
Factors regulated to maintain fluid balance ECF volume- this must be closely regulated to help maintain blood pressure. Maintenance of salt balance is important in long term regulation of ECF volume. ECF osmolarity - this must be regulated to prevent swelling and shrinkage of the cells. Maintenance of water balance is important in its long term regulation .
Relation between ECF and ICF Osmolarity of ECF is maintained by Na + and its attendent anions whereas K + and its accompanying anions are responsible for ICF osmotic activity Na + - K + pump plays an important role for maintaining homeostasis Any condition leading to loss or gain of free H 2 O leads to changes in ECF osmolarity
Plasma Osmolality This can be calculated using the concentrations of sodium, chloride, glucose and urea in plasma Plasma osmolality( mOsm /kg H 2 O) = (2x Plasma Na + ) + Glucose/18 + BUN/2.8 ** Normal adult value is 285mOsm/kgH 2 O
It is thus crucial that ECF osmolarity be maintained within very narrow range to prevent cell from : Swelling - osmotically gaining H 2 O from ECF Shrinking - osmotically losing H 2 O to ECF
ECF Hypertonicity Excessive concentration of ECF solutes is usually associated with DEHYDRATION (negative free water balance) Causes: -Insufficient H 2 O intake ( eg . desert travel ) -excessive H 2 O loss ( sweating, vomiting ) -Diabetes Insipidus ( deficiency of ADH )
What is ECF Hypertonicity ? H 2 O moves out of cells (ICF) to reach more concentrated ECF till equilibrium occurs cell shrinks as H 2 O leaves them shrinkage of brain neurons Confusion, delirium, convulsions, coma + Circulatory problems - hypotension, death
ECF Hypotonicity Hypotonicity of ECF is associated with OVERHYDRATION (positive free water balance) Causes: - Renal failure - SIADH (excess water retained in body due to absence of ADH) - Excessive intake of water by normal people
ECF Hypotoniocity (Dilution of ECF compartment) Movement of water from more dilute ECF to more concentrated ICF(i.e. CELLS) Pronounced swelling of brain cells Confusion, irritability, dizziness, vomiting, convulsion, coma, death Nonneural symptoms : swelling of muscle cells, circulatory disturbances like HTN, edema (due to expansion of plasma volume)

Intra-operative Fluid Requirement Maintenance – normal requirement of fluid . By 4-2-1 rule
Intra-operative Fluid Requirement B. Fasting fluid deficit = hrs of NPO × maintenance fluid
Intra-operative Fluid Requirement C. Third space fluid loss/ hr intraoperative fluid require = A+B+C + urineoutput + blood loss
Blood transfusion Estimated Blood Volume( EBV):
Increasingly, transfusions are not recommended until the hematocrit decreases to 24% or lower ( hemoglobin <8.0 g/ dL ), but it is necessary to take into account the potential for further blood loss, rate of blood loss, and comorbid conditions ( eg , cardiac disease). Intraoperative blood transfusion is done: preoperative deficit ( eg . anaemic ) Blood loss ≥ ABL
