Fluid Therapy - Rationale Hypovolemia common in critically ill Fluid administration Reverses shock Restores/sustains perfusion and oxygen delivery Renal benefits Encourages diuresis Contrast and Rhabdomyolysis Dilutes nephrotoxins
Does Fluid Therapy Benefit Critically Ill? Hypoperfusion theory alone too simplistic Organ injury from complex interaction of host and disease Excludes inflammatory and microcirculatory alterations Response to fluid therapy unpredictable Critical illness, pre-existing disease and pharmacotherapy Extent and duration of responsiveness unclear Capillary leak Fluids do not correct vasodilatation Prowle, J.

Colloids Summary Take Home Colloids do not reduce fluid requirement significantly Glycocalyx disruption 5% albumin to be avoided in TBI Hyperoncotic colloids should be avoided HES increases risks of AKI, RRT and mortality Results confounded by fluid overload Should we then use a crystalloid? If so which one?
Are all crystalloids the same? Dilutional Acidosis Why doesn t it happen with other bicarbonate poor fluids? Plasma volume expansion Dilution of bicarbonate Renal bicarbonate wasting Grotthus mechanism Excess proton generation Hyperchloremia a mere association!! www.frca.co.uk
Determinants of [H + ] Blood Plasma OH - H + H 2 O Saline induced acidosis is secondary to pco 2 decreased SID caused by excess chloride Aload TOT - Decreased SID: Increased water dissociation and acidosis SID Stewart P. Can J Physiol Pharm 1983;61:1444
Saline Induced Acidosis Does it exist clinically? 1. Saline increases Cl- and decreases BE in a dose dependent manner 2. Saline cause moderate acidosis lasting 1-2 days 3. Respiratory compensation attenuates acidosis in an open system 4. Could be significant in patients with another acidemia 1 - Scheingraber S et al Anesthesiol 1999, 90:1265-1270 2 - Boldt J et al. Anesth Analg 2009, 109:1752-1762 3 - O Dell E et al. Crit Care Med 2007, 35:2390-2394
Chloride And The Kidney 1. Hyperchloremia produces 1. Progressive renal vasoconstriction Tubuloglomerular Feedback 2. Fall in GFR that is independent of the renal nerves 3. Changes related to tubular Cl - reabsorption Chloride-induced vasoconstriction appears specific for the renal vessels Wilcox CS. J Clin Invest. 1983;71(3):726-735
Does this acidosis pose problems? Renal Renal vasoconstriction and decrease in GFR Delayed time to micturition Decreased urine output and sodium excretion GI function Decreased gastric perfusion Prolonged gastric emptying time and ileus Postoperative nausea and vomiting Pro-inflammatory Cogulation abnormalities May trigger inappropriate therapies Guidet B et al. et al. Critical Care 2010, 14:325
Can we prevent Saline-induced acidosis? Large volume of NS Decrease in SID Decrease in A TOT Metabolic Acidemia Metabolic Alkalemia Therefore to prevent Saline induced acidosis, extracellular SID must fall during the infusion ONLY enough to counteract the progressive A TOT dilutional alkalosis (IDEAL SID = 24) 1 1-Morgan T et al. Crit Care Resusc 2003, 5:284-291
What is a balanced fluid? The ideal balanced crystalloid is normotonic with a SID of 24 meq/l Achieved by excising chloride from NS and substituting bicarbonate Bicarbonate cannot be included in IVF Instability and precipitation Addition of other anions Acetate, Lactate, or Gluconate

Fluid Resuscitation Fluid resuscitation is the most frequent intervention in the ICU Normal saline is the commonest fluid used for resuscitation Standard against which other solutions are measured/compared Resuscitation with normal saline causes metabolic acidosis Cardiopulmonary bypass Handy JM et al. British Journal of Anaesthesia 101 (2): 141 50 (2008) Hayhoe et al. Intensive Care Med. 25: 680-85; 1999
Physico - chemical approach H + and HCO3 are only DEPENDENT variables Determinant of H+ is water dissociation Aqueous Solutions Water Dissociation Acids increase water dissociation H 2 O H + + OH -
Strong Ion Difference (SID) Mg ++ Ca ++ K + Na + Cl - Others (lactate, etc) These are the Strong Ions, so-called because they do not readily combine with other ions or lose their charge. Conversely, H + and HCO 3 - readily combine, and are called weak ions Normal extracellular fluid SID is 40 Decrease in SID increases water dissociation
