•explain the importance of fluid intake and output •identify distribution of total body water •discuss the ions in different body compartments
provides an overview of fluid balance, including how and why it should be measured, and discusses the importance of accurate fluid balance measurements. W ater is essential for life, and maintaining the cor-rect balance of fluid in the body is crucial to health (Welch, 2010). However, according to a recent report
Water Balance Objectives When you have completed this section, you should be able to • name the major fluid compartments and explain how water moves from one to another; • list the body’s sources of water and routes of water loss; • describe the mechanisms of regulating water intake and output; and
1 sty 2018 · The regulation of body fluid balance is a key concern in health and disease and comprises three concepts. The first concept pertains to the relationship between total body water (TBW) and total effective solute and is expressed in terms of the tonicity of the body fluids.
Fluid balance refers to the proper levels of water and electrolytes being in the various body compartments according to their needs. Osmotic pressure (created by the dissolved electrolytes in body fluids) and hydrostatic pressure (created by the water in body fluids) are the main forces behind any molecular movement between body compartments.
