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
