PODCAST: Hyperkalemic Cardiac Arrest

פוסט זה זמין גם ב: עברית

Contributor: Aaron Lessen, MD

Educational Pearls:

  • Hyperkalemia may cause cardiac arrest
  • Treatment of suspected hyperkalemic cardiac arrest begins with typical management of cardiac arrest including high-quality CPR, defibrillation if appropriate, and resuscitation medications
    • Administer calcium products to stabilize cardiac membrane and potassium shifting medications
    • If ROSC is achieved, initiate dialysis
  • There are several case reports of patients being dialyzed while CPR is ongoing, with some success
    • Dialysis during resuscitation may be an appropriate treatment for some patients
