Fluid movement between the plasma and interstitial compartments is regulated by a balance of forces at the capillary level. Several factors can alter this balance and lead to edema formation. Since the body has no compensatory mechanism to rid the body of excess fluid once edema appears, it is essential for nurse practitioners to accurately assess clients who may be at risk for fluid retention. This article describes the factors responsible for excess fluid accumulation, client assessment and treatment of generalized edema.
血浆与组织间隙之间的液体流动受毛细血管水平上各种力量平衡的调节。多种因素可改变这种平衡并导致水肿形成。由于一旦出现水肿，身体没有清除多余液体的代偿机制，因此执业护士准确评估可能存在液体潴留风险的患者至关重要。本文描述了导致液体过度蓄积的因素、患者评估以及全身性水肿的治疗方法。
