Used for short term illness & is the safest route of fluid administration in conscious animals
What is Oral (PO)
100
Signs of this include respiratory changes (dypsnea or tachypnea), fluid deposition in the subcutaneous space, or weight gain in patients
What is fluid overload
200
fluid found in the intravascular and interstitial spaces
What is Extracellular Fluid (ECF)
200
Used for bradycardia
What is atropine
200
Supplemented to anorexic and/or patients with significant fluid losses from diuresis to avoid cardiac problems
What is Potassium
200
Preferred route for moderately to severely dehydrated patients and hypovolemic animals. Best for correcting hypotension.
What is Intravaneous (IV) fluids
200
The advantages of using these versus hypertonic solutions is that they stay in the vascular space, while sodium will diffuse out of the blood vasculature with the use of hypertonic solutions
What is colloids
300
a property based on an osmolality; describes the amounts of solutes in a solution
What is tonicity
300
Used for severe allergic reactions
What is Dexamethasone
300
Used to correct metabolic acidosis which may be seen with conditions such as severe shock, diebetic acidosis, severe renal disease, and cardiac arrest.
What is Sodium bicarbonate
300
Useful in small animals and birds because they provide direct access to the vascular space and is useful when access to a vein is compromised
What is Intraosseous (IO) fluids
300
This may be due to hemodilution, blood loss, increased RBC destruction, or failure to produce RBCs
What is a decreased hematocrit reading
400
osmotic pressure exerted by colloids in a solution
What is oncotic pressure
400
Used to correct shock
What is Crystalloid solution
400
Given to patients with diseases such as milk fever, eclampsia, and endocrine disorders
What is Calcium
400
As patients become dehydrated they steal fluid from one are to replace fluid in the area that lost fluid. Name the first three places patients steal fluid from.
What is First - interstitial space, Second - intracellular space, Third - Intravascular space
400
The main function of this is to maintain the colloid osmotic pressure of blood. Without this fluid would readily leave the vascular space & accumulate in the tissues leading to swelling.
What is albumin
500
device consisting of a set of tubing, drip chamber, and clamp used to administer fluid that typically delivers 60 drops per milliliter
What is pediatric administration sets
500
Use if animal is anemic, this drug is used to increase systemic oxygen content
What is Oxyglobin
500
These may be added to fluids because they are lost rapidly by anorexic or debilitated animals
What is Water soluble vitamins
500
If 60% of a healthy animals body weight is water and and one liter of water weighs one kilogram, therefore a 100 lb dog has 60% or ? kg of water in its body
What is 27kg
500
Side effects of this include mucous membrane and urine discoloration, vomiting, circulatory overload, and fever. It is contraindicated in dogs with CHF.
