It is built to help clinicians connect bedside physiology with practical decisions before opening the full member study guide on Patreon.

Passive Leg Raise (PLR) Basics What Is the Passive Leg Raise Test? The Passive Leg Raise (PLR) is a reversible autotransfusion maneuver that mobilizes blood from the lower extremities and splanchnic circulation to the central circulation. It simulates a fluid bolus (~300–500 mL) to test for fluid responsiveness in real time — without giving actual IV fluids. If cardiac output increases during PLR, the patient is considered fluid responsive and may benefit from a fluid bolus. Physiologic Basis PLR increases preload by increasing venous return This mimics the effect of a fluid challenge If the stroke volume (SV) or cardiac output (CO) increases meaningfully in response, it suggests the heart is operating on the ascending limb of the Frank-Starling curve

For learners searching for fluid resuscitation education, this preview emphasizes indications, interpretation, bedside assessment, complications, and practical emergency critical care decision-making. The complete study guide adds the organized downloadable teaching file and related member resources.

Clinically, a Passive Leg Raise Basics resource is most useful when it helps the learner move from recognition to action. This preview is therefore written around the questions that come up during real emergency and critical care practice: what pattern is present, what physiology explains it, what complications matter, and what reassessment should happen next.

Key themes in the complete guide include the hemodynamic pattern and how to interpret it; management priorities and common escalation decisions; monitoring clues that should change bedside reassessment. These themes make the page useful for quick topic review, board-style preparation, ICU teaching, emergency medicine review, and bedside refreshers before opening the full WhiteBoard Medicine study guide collection.

Fluid Compartments: Distribution and Clinical Implications Overview Understanding fluid compartments is foundational for fluid management. Total body water accounts for ~60% of adult body weight (higher in infants, lower in the elderly). Body fluids are distributed across intracellular, extracellular, intravascular, and interstitial spaces. Different intravenous fluid choices (D5W, normal saline, lactated Ringer’s, albumin) distribute variably across these compartments, influencing clinical use. Body Water Distribution • Total body water ~60% of adult body weight (range 45–75% depending on age).• Intracellular fluid (ICF): ~66% of total body water.• Extracellular fluid (ECF): ~33% of total body water, further divided into: • Intravascular (plasma): ~8% of total. • Extravascular (interstitial): ~22% of total. Organ water content examples:• Brain: 85%• Lungs: 80%• Kidneys: 80%• Heart: 75%• Muscle: 70%• Skin: 70%• Liver: 70%• Bone: 20% Fluid Compartments • Intracellular: Inside cells, ~2/3 of total body fluid.• Extracellular: Outside cells, ~1/3 of total body fluid. • Intravascular: Plasma volume, ~8%. • Interstitial (extravascular): Fluid between cells, ~22%.

This Hypotonic Isotonic Hypertonic study guide preview is part of the WhiteBoard Medicine fluid resuscitation library for emergency medicine, critical care, resuscitation, and ICU learners. It is built to help clinicians connect bedside physiology with practical decisions before opening the full member study guide on Patreon.

Hypotonic vs Isotonic vs Hypertonic Fluids Overview Intravenous fluids are categorized based on tonicity relative to plasma: hypotonic, isotonic, or hypertonic. Tonicity determines how water moves across cell membranes, influencing whether cells swell, remain stable, or shrink. This understanding is essential for safe and effective fluid resuscitation and maintenance therapy. Tonicity Concept • Tonicity describes how a solution influences water movement across a cell membrane.• Water moves from areas of low solute concentration (low tonicity) to high solute concentration (high tonicity).• Goal: equilibrium where intracellular and extracellular solute concentrations are equal. Hypotonic Fluids Definition: Lower solute concentration than intracellular fluid → water shifts into cells → cell swelling.Examples:• D5W (after glucose metabolism, leaves free water)• 0.45% normal saline (half‑NS)Distribution:• Only ~8% remains intravascular• Majority distributes intracellularly Isotonic Fluids

Crystalloid vs Colloid Fluids – Study Guide This guide reviews the key principles, mechanisms, and clinical implications of crystalloid versus colloid intravenous fluids. Understanding these differences is critical for fluid management in clinical practice. Key Concepts Two major forces determine how fluid shifts across blood vessels: • Hydrostatic Pressure – Pressure of fluid inside the vessel pushing fluid outward.• Oncotic Pressure – Pressure generated by solute/proteins that pulls fluid inward. Crystalloid Fluids Definition: IV solutions with small, water-soluble molecules such as electrolytes and glucose. Examples: Normal Saline (0.9%), Half Normal Saline (0.45%), Lactated Ringers (LR), Plasmalyte, D5W.
