Classification Classification of dehydration by Donna D. Ignatavicus there are 3 types: a. Isotonic dehydration Isotonic dehydration is lost water followed by the electrolyte so that the density remained normal, then this type of dehydration is usually not result in ECF fluid move to the ICF. b. Hypotonic dehydration Hypotonic dehydration is the loss of solvent from the ECF exceeds fluid loss, resulting in blood vessels become more concentrated. ECF osmotic pressure decreases, resulting in fluid moves from the ECF to ICF. Vascular volume also decreased, as well as cell swelling occurs. c. Hypertonic dehydration Hypertonic dehydration is ECF fluid loss exceeds the solvent is non-osmotic dehydration ECF decreased, resulting in fluid moves from ICF to ECF.
