This video is perfect for nurses who want to learn everything they need to know about Diuretics. 💊👩⚕️
In this video, I will explain the pharmacology of diuretics, covering the fundamentals of nephrons and osmosis, the different types of diuretics and their mechanisms of action, as well as indications, side effects, contraindications, and special considerations related to diuretics. 👩🏫🏫
Diuretics, commonly referred to as "water pills," are medications that increase urine production by altering osmosis within the nephron. There are five main types of diuretics, each acting on a different segment of the nephron. These include Osmotic Diuretics, Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors, Loop Diuretics, Thiazide Diuretics, and Potassium-Sparing Diuretics, which can be categorized into Aldosterone Antagonists and Epithelial Sodium Channel Blockers. Diuretics are used to treat hypertension, heart failure, edema and some kidney disorders. Adverse effects include electrolyte imbalances, dehydration, dizziness and hypotension. They should not be used with anuria, severe dehydration and certain electrolyte imbalances. Diuretics should be avoided before bed to prevent nocturia. Some diuretics can cause a cross-reactivity reaction in individuals with a sulfa allergy. Routine bloodwork to monitor for electrolyte imbalances may be necessary.
