Problem 1
A 36-year-old man has undergone a total colectomy and proctectomy for ulcerative colitis
His operative procedure was performed two years previously. His ileostomy usually drains about 800 cc per day. Two days before coming to the hospital he developed crampy abdominal pain, bloating, and began draining large quantities of liquid from his ileostomy. Because of the nausea and two episodes of vomiting, he did not take any food or liquids over the past 24 hours.

Problem 1
A 45-year-old man with previously known duodenal ulcer disease presents with complaints of persistent vomiting for the past 36 hours.
The vomit is clear-looking and acidic in taste. He has no abdominal pain. Prior to the vomiting, he had difficulty with solid foods causing a fullness in the stomach and he had been taking only liquids for one week. His heartburn had been aggravated at the time of the fullness, but antacids did not help, he did not seek medical attention until today. He complains of being dizzy when he stands up. His blood pressure changes from 120/90 when lying to 105/75 when standing, his pulse changes from 100 to 130. Serum Sodium is 155 meq/L.

An 18-year-old man was in a motorcycle collision.
Medical Student Small Group Discussion TopicsFluid and Electrolyte Management
The patient was not wearing his helmet. He suffered a severe closed head injury with diffuse swelling of both cortices. He remains comatose three days after injury and is noted to have urine output of 500 cc per hour. His serum electrolytes demonstrate a sodium of 155, chloride of 125, potassium of 4.5, and TCO2 of 25.

A 55-year-old woman with alcoholic cirrhosis and ascites is admitted for upper gastrointestinal
bleeding.
Medical Student Small Group Discussion TopicsFluid and Electrolyte Management
Upper endoscopy reveals gastritis which is not actively bleeding. She is admitted and given an intravenous of 5% dextrose and 0.2% NACl at 125 cc/hr. Over the next 24 hours her abdomen becomes tense and her urine output is 15 to 20 cc per hour. Her serum sodium has decreased from 132 on admission to 122 and she is less responsive to verbal stimuli.
