IV Solutions
o
Volume expanders
o Colloid solutions- contain large molecular weight molecules and
preserve colloid pressure
o Crystalloid solutions- most common is isotonic saline (.9%
concentration) or ringers lactate solution (usually used for burns or
blood loss)
o Blood products such as fresh frozen plasma
Hydrochlorothiazide vs Lisinopril
Hydrochlorothiazide MoA it acts on the distal convoluted tubule to decrease
sodium and concomitant water resorption. Specifically it acts on the Na-Cl
cotransporter by competing for the chlorine site on the transporter. Also, in
an unrelated mechanism it also promotes calcium resorption
Lisinopril
o Used for decreasing blood pressure and it patients with MI and heart
failure.
o MoA- it competitively inhibits angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE),
preventing the conversion of Angiotensin I to Angiotensin II. It raises
plasma renin levels (due to a negative feedback mechanism). ACE
inhibitors in turn decrease activity in the RAAS system. CNS
mechanism may also be involved since angiotensin increases
adrenergic outflow from CNS
