When the amount of fluid lost from the body is equal to the amount of fluid taken in, the body is in fluid balance. Fluid in our body is found within the body cells (intracellular), surrounding the cells (interstitial) and within the blood vessels (intravascular). It is our bodies' principal chemical component, comprising, on average, 60 percent of our weight. In obese individuals and the elderly, total body fluid can be significantly lower.

Safari is a web browser developed by Apple Inc. Included with the OS X and iOS operating systems. First released as a public beta in 2003 on the company's OS X operating system, it became Apple's default browser beginning with Mac OS X Panther. The native browser of iOS is also called Safari, but has a different graphical user interface. At this time, Fluid Browser supports PDF documents as long as the Mac using Fluid Browser is running the latest MacOS software release. Currently, Fluid Browser does not support Word Documents. We do ask that if you desire to view a Word Document to please convert this into a PDF.
Fluid is constantly being lost by the body through perspiration, expired air (as water vapour), urine, feaces, and negligible amounts in tears and saliva. It is replaced in our daily basic intake of food and drink. There is no easy answers as to how much water a person is required to drink each day. Studies have produced varying recommendations over the years, but in truth, each individual water requirements depend on many factors, including his health and how active he is.
Monitoring of fluid balance is required for people with renal failure, electrolyte imbalance, or severe vomiting and diarrhea. It is also necessary for people with nasogastric tubes and drainage collection devices. In addition, those receiving intravenous therapy and those taking medicines such as diuretics and corticosteriods also need to have their fluid balance monitored. Jump desktop 8 2 17 hp.
These measurements are important to help evaluate a persont fluid and electrolyte balance, to suggest various diagnosis, and allows for prompt intervention to correct the imbalance. Records of all intake and output must be kept meticulously in an Intake and Output Chart (I/O Chart). All amounts must be measured and record in milliliters. Do not estimate the amount. If the person is able to cooperate, he should be encouraged to help in keeping an accurate record of his daily fluid intake and output.
At the end of a 24-hours period, add up the total intake and output. Evaluate the person's fluid status in relation to the disease process, medication regimen, diet, and activity ordered by your healthcare professionals. The person is said to be in negative fluid balance if his output is greater than his intake. Conversely, a positive fluid balance occurs when intake is greater than output. If the difference is alarming, consult your doctor. Keep the chart to show to the doctor, and start a fresh one for the next 24-hours.

Dehydration
Dehydration can be defined as 'the excessive loss of water from the body'. It can be caused by losing too much fluid (as in vomiting and diarrhea), not drinking enough water, or both.
The best way to treat dehydration is to prevent it from occurring. Always encourage the person to drink during an illness, and remember that his fluid needs is greater when he has fever, vomiting, or diarrhea. If you suspect excessive fluid loss during an illness, inform your doctor immediately. DO NOT wait for signs of dehydration.

*1 Dry skin in an elderly is not a reliable indication of dehydration as skin automatically loses moisture and elasticity with age. A better barometer is the color of urine: clear or light-colored urine means well hydrated, whereas a dark concentrated color usually signals dehydration.

*2 A capillary nail refill test can be done by pressing firmly on a fingernail bed for 5 seconds and measure the speed at which blood returns after the pressure is released. In normal person, capillary refilling should take less than 3 seconds.
*3 You can test the hydration state of the person by simply pinching up the skin on his hand into a fold. If dehydrated, the skin may lack its normal elasticity and sag back into position slowly. Normally, skin springs right back into position.

For You
Electrolytes are minerals in your body that have an electric charge. They are in your blood, urine, tissues, and other body fluids. Electrolytes are important because they help
- Balance the amount of water in your body
- Balance your body's acid/base (pH) level
- Move nutrients into your cells
- Move wastes out of your cells
- Make sure that your nerves, muscles, the heart, and the brain work the way they should
Sodium, calcium, potassium, chloride, phosphate, and magnesium are all electrolytes. You get them from the foods you eat and the fluids you drink.
The levels of electrolytes in your body can become too low or too high. This can happen when the amount of water in your body changes. The amount of water that you take in should equal the amount you lose. If something upsets this balance, you may have too little water (dehydration) or too much water (overhydration). Some medicines, vomiting, diarrhea, sweating, and liver or kidney problems can all upset your water balance.
Treatment helps you to manage the imbalance. It also involves identifying and treating what caused the imbalance.
