Third-spacing

The third space is used to describe the primary dull characteristic of the v/orn bit, i.e., the obvious physical change from its new condition. The dull characteristics which apply to fixed cutter bits are listed in Figure 4-165. [Pg.811]

The transcellular fluid includes the viscous components of the peritoneum, pleural space, and pericardium, as well as the cerebrospinal fluid, joint space fluid, and the gastrointestinal (GI) digestive juices. Although the transcellular fluid normally accounts for about 1% of TBW, this amount can increase significantly during various illnesses favoring fluid collection in one of these spaces (e.g., pleural effusions or ascites in the peritoneum). The accumulation of fluid in the transcellular space is often referred to as third spacing. To review the calculations of the body fluid compartments in a representative patient, see Patient Encounter 1. [Pg.404]

The fluid and protein shift into the abdomen (called third-spacing) may be so dramatic that circulating blood volume is decreased, which causes decreased cardiac output and hypovolemic shock. Accompanying fever, vomiting, or diarrhea may worsen the fluid imbalance. A reflex sympathetic response, manifested by sweating, tachycardia, and vasoconstriction, may be evident. With an inflamed peritoneum, bacteria and endotoxins are absorbed easily into the bloodstream (translocation), and this may result in septic shock. Other foreign substances present in the peritoneal cavity potentiate peritonitis, notably feces, dead tissues, barium, mucus, bile, and blood. [Pg.1130]

When bacteria become dispersed throughout the peritoneum, the inflammatory process involves the majority of the peritoneal lining. Fluid and protein shift into the abdomen (called third spacing ) may decrease circulating blood volume and cause shock. [Pg.469]

However, again this application did not succeed. Optical lithography continues. First by steppers with half or third spacing. Now, a new form of lithography is close to implementation, known as extreme-UV lithography. This uses coherent UV from a plasma of Sn4+ ions, which emits at around 100 eV. [Pg.350]

Therapy with leucovorin/5-FU must not be initiated or continued in patients who have symptoms of Gl toxicity of any severity, until those symptoms have completely resolved. Patients with diarrhea must be monitored with particular care until the diarrhea has resolved, as rapid clinical deterioration leading to death can occur. Methotrexate concentrations Monitoring of the serum methotrexate concentration is essential in determining the optimal dose and duration of treatment with leucovorin. Delayed methotrexate excretion may be caused by a third space fluid accumulation, renal insufficiency, or inadequate hydration. Under such circumstances, higher doses of leucovorin or prolonged administration may be indicated. Doses higher than those recommended for oral use must be given IV. [Pg.68]

Pleural effusions or ascites In patients with significant third space accumulations, evacuate the fluid before treatment and monitor plasma methotrexate levels. Psoriasis lesions Lesions of psoriasis may be aggravated by concomitant exposure to ultraviolet radiation. Radiation dermatitis and sunburn may be recalled by the use of methotrexate. [Pg.1975]

A number of X-ray crystal determinations have made the principles of lanthanide cryptate structural chemistry fairly clear. In [La(N03)2(2,2,2-cryptate)][La(N03)6] (Figure 8), the La3+ ion is 12-coordinated with two bidentate nitrate ions coordinating in two of the three spaces between the cryptate chains the third space is thus too compressed to be occupied also.508 [Sm(N03)(2,2,2-cryptate)][Sm(N03)5(H20)] shows only one such space occupied511 and the structure of [Eu(C104)2,2,2-cryptate](C104)2MeCN is similar to the samarium cryptate.512,513 Intemuclear distances in these complexes are shown in Table 10. [Pg.1098]

OHSS is characterized by cystic ovarian enlargement, increased capillary permeability, and third space fluid accumulation (that is in an extracellular compartment that is not in equilibrium with either the extracellular or intracellular fluid, for example the bowel lumen, subcutaneous tissues, retroperitoneal space, or peritoneal cavity). Risk factors include a previous history of OHSS, age under 30 years (probably because more follicles are available), and polycystic ovary syndrome. Non-pregnant patients usually recover within 14 days with supportive treatment. The severe form (with ascites or pleural effusion and hemoconcentration) occurs in 1-10% of patients (64,65). In critical cases, hypoxemia, renal insufficiency, thromboembolism, and rarely death can occur (66). [Pg.490]

A wide range of aldesleukin-induced adverse effects is associated with the capillary leak syndrome, which is characterized by an increase in vascular permeability with subsequent leakage of fluids and proteins into the extravascular space (4). This results in a third-space clinical syndrome, generalized or peripheral edema, weight gain, cardiovascular and pulmonary comphcations with hypotension, pericardial, and pleural effusions, ascites, oliguria, and prerenal azotemia. Symptoms usually resolve in a few days after aldesleukin withdrawal. Studies on the mechanism have raised a number of hypotheses, such as damage to the endothehal cells, release of secondary cytokines, and activation of the complement cascade (15). [Pg.60]

Part of the motivation was to generate a conversation that might make assessment part of our disparate faculty cultures and give us a common ground, a third-space, if you will, to work from. Finally, we wanted assessment to be grounded in real student work and not inferred from published instruments normed in populations of students that did not mirror our own for institutions that our students did not attend. [Pg.40]

Hepatic Disease. The liver retains the ability to synthesize even increased amounts of albumin until parenchymal damage or loss is severe, with the loss of 50% to 95% of function. Thus other mechanisms are responsible for the decreased levels seen in most cases of hepatocellular disease." These include, among others, increased immunoglobulin levels, third space loss (extravasation into the extravascular space), and direct inhibition of synthesis... [Pg.547]

Although the basic pathophysiology is similar for the various causes of hypovolemic shock, there are unique considerations relative to each. For example, whereas isolated head injuries associated with trauma typically do not result in substantial blood loss or shock, pelvic fractures may sequester several liters of blood as hematoma formation. Patients with traumatic or thermal injuries, as well as postoperative patients, may have substantial fluid accumulation in sites where it cannot be readily transferred back into blood vessels (i.e., third-spaced fluid) for maintaining pressure. With these types of injuries, prompt control of compressible bleeding sources with rapid patient transfer to the hospital for definitive treatment may preclude the cascade of events leading to shock. Indeed, with trauma patients, a scoop and run approach is used in most urban hospitals that places a priority on rapid transport to a hospital. ... [Pg.481]

Proper attention to plasma expansion must be continued into the intraoperative and postoperative periods. A number of neurohormonal changes take place that affect urine output, and patients may have substantial third-spacing of fluid depending on the operation and the preexisting condition of the patient. Furthermore, postoperative patients are prone to hyponatremia from renal generation of electrolyte-free water and from antidiuretic hormone release. As in acute resuscitation, the administration of hypotonic solutions in the perioperative period does not prevent the decrease in extracellular volume that often occurs. Therefore, although excess fluid administration is to be avoided in the perioperative setting, isotonic crystalloid solutions should be used when fluids are indicated to prevent intravascular depletion and circulatory insufficiency. [Pg.489]

If peritonitis continues untreated, the patient may experience hypovolemic shock from third-space fluid loss into the peritoneum, bowel wall, and lumen. This may be accompanied by sepsis because the inflamed peritoneum absorbs bacteria and toxins into mesenteric blood vessels and lymph nodes, initiating production of inflammatory... [Pg.2059]

Methotrexate distributes readily into third space fluids (ascites, pleural effusions), prolonging exposure and increasing toxicity. May be contraindication for use. [Pg.2298]

Third-spacing—The shift of fluid and protein into the peritoneal cavity and bowel wall lumen that occurs as a result of peritonitis. [Pg.2692]

At 10 days to 5 weeks, 50-100% of personnel will develop pathogenic and opportunistic infections, bleeding, fever, loss of appetite, GI ulcerations, bloody diarrhea, severe fluid and electrolyte shifts, third space losses, capillary leak, hypotension... [Pg.57]

Attempts at lengthening intravascular resident time of the solution and limit third spacing have resulted in the development of hypertonic crystalloid solutions. An example of a hypertonic solution is 3% NaCI ( hypertonic saline ). It has been suggested that the increased electrolyte... [Pg.1255]

Glucose is administered intravenously to clients with end-stage liver disease to minimize protein breakdown. Because the client is third spacing, the IV rate will be low. [Pg.122]

Dim-etic therapy is prescribed to help decrease ascites, which results from third spacing assessing the abdominal girth will help determine if the medication is effective. [Pg.123]

HYPOTENSION WITH TACHYCARDIA Fluid loss or third spacing... [Pg.16]

Cardiovascular effects. In severe cases, extensive tissue third spacing of fluids combined with fluid loss from gastroenteritis may lead to hypotension, tachycardia, shock, and death. Metabolic acidosis and rhabdomyoly-sis may be present. After a delay of 1-6 days, there may be a second phase of congestive cardiomyopathy, cardiogenic or noncardiogenic pulmonary edema, and isolated or recurrent cardiac arrhythmias. Prolongation of the QT interval may be associated with torsade de pointes ventricular arrhythmia. [Pg.116]

LMA designed and developed the flight control software, while Honeywell was responsible for the Inertial Measurement System (IMS) software. This separation of control, combined with poor coordination, accounts for some of the problems that occurred. Analex was the independent verification and validation (IV V) contractor, while Aerospace Corporation provided independent monitoring and evaluation. Ground launch operations at Cape Canaveral Air Station (CCAS) were managed by the Third Space Launch Squadron (3SLS). [Pg.470]

Air Force launch operations were managed by the Third Space Launch Squadron (3SLS). [Pg.483]
