Osmolality and electrolytes in cerebrospinal fluid and serum of febrile children with and without seizures. During acute febrile diseases mild disturbances of water and electrolyte balance occur frequently. It has been suggested that changes in electrolyte balance‚ in particular hyponatraemia‚ might predispose a child to convulsions during febrile illness; however‚ the changes of electrolytes in the CSF are not known. We have studied the effects of fever and convulsions on water and electrolyte balance

Pathophysiology & Health Assessment NUR5703 2011 Pre-course Learning Objectives: Fluids and Electrolytes: 1. Identify and describe the composition of the fluid compartments within the body Either Intracellular fluid (ICF- 2/3 of the body’s water) or extracellular fluid (ECF -one third of the body’s water). The two main extracellular fluid compartments are the interstitial fluid and the intravascular fluid‚ which is the blood plasma. Other ECF compartments include the lymph and the transcellular fluids

Analyzing electrolytes I. Introduction Ionic substances form when a metal reacts with a non-metal. They contain charged particles called ions. Those ionic substances are broken down by electrolysis. Electrolysis is the breakdown of a substance by electricity‚ and it only happens in liquids. The liquids that can be electrolyzed are called electrolytes. When said electrolyzed‚ means that the compounds in solutions are broken down when they conduct electricity. Its necessary the use of electrodes

Fluid and Electrolytes Imbalances Fluid Compartments: * Extracellular Fluid (ECF) – This is fluid found outside of the cells and the amount of ECF decreases with age. In the newborn for example‚ approximately ½ of the body fluid is contained in the ECF. By the time the infant has reached one year old; the ECF has decreased to approximately 1/3 of the total volume. In an average 70 kg adult the ECF is approximately 15 liters of total volume. ECF can further be divided into the following:

players drink sport drinks like gatorade or powerade but the question is when should we drink sport drinks or water. Your body needs water to maintain performance. Water is composed of two hydrogen and one oxygen atom. For your body to maintain athletic performance it must have oxygen in the muscles (which water contains). When exercising we burn carbohydrates. When we lose these carbohydrates they need to be replaced. There are many alternatives to replace carbohydrates such as water and sports drinks
