Para 1200 Latest Update with Verified Solutions Water body fluids are mostly water, main compartments are intracellular and extracellular (intervascular and interstitial) Edema excess fluid in the interstitial space Blood consists of liquid portion (plasma) and the formed elements (cells) Plasma 92% water 6-7% proteins and a small portion of electrolytes, lipids, enzymes, clotting factors, glucose and other dissolved substances Erythrocyte red blood cells, which contain hemoglobin, which transports oxygen to the cells Leukocyte white blood cells, which play a key role in the immune system and inflammatory (infection fighting) response Thrombocyte platelets, which are important in blood clotting Hemoglobin an iron based compound that binds with oxygen and transports it to cells Hematocrit the percentage of blood containing erythrocytes (red blood cells) Transfusion reaction a discrepancy between the blood type of the patient and the blood being transfused. Common signs and symptoms are fever, chills, hives, hypotension, palpitations, tachycardia, flushing of the skin, headaches, loss of consciousness, nausea, vomiting and shortness of breath Colloid substances, such as proteins or starches, consisting of large molecules or molecular aggregates that disperse evenly within a liquid without forming a true solution (these tend to remain in the inter vascular space for an extended period of time and cause oncotic force) Crytalloid substances capable of crystallization. In solutions, unlike colloids, they can diffuse through a membrane, such as a capillary wall. (commonly found in prehospital iv therapy ie. Normal saline) Hypotonic having a lower solute concentration than the cells Hypertonic having a higher solute concentration than the cells Isotonic have a equal solute (electrolyte) composition (ie. Normal saline, ringers lactate) Respiratory acidosis acidity caused by abnormal retention of carbon dioxide resulting from inpared respiration (ie. Decreased respiration) Respiratory alkalosis alkalinity caused by excessive elimination of carbon dioxide resulting from increased respirations Metabolic
