third spacing is a shift of fluid into the interstitial spaces--where there is little fluid normally perfusing. this patient differs from the pt with generalized edema because the third spacing is just that... all the fluid has shifted from the other compartments and although they look all puffy and full of fluid, they are actually hypovolemic.
Fluid spacing is a term used to classify the distribution of water in the. body: 1. First Spacing: describes normal distribution of fluid in the body. in both the intracellular and extracellular fluid compartments. 2. Second Spacing: describes the excess accumulation of fluid in the. interstitial spaces, which we also call edema. 2. 3. Third Spacing: occurs when fluid accumulates in areas that. normally have no fluid or minimal amount of fluid, such as. with ascites, and edema associated with burns.
