Hyperkalemia management explained clearly (step by step)

How to manage acute hyperkalemia in real-world inpatient settings, we will discuss the diagnosis of hyperkalemia, causes of pseudohyperkalemia, the severity of hyperkalemia, EKG changes related to hyperkalemia, Cardiac stabilization with IV calcium, potassium shifting techniques with insulin, albuterol, bicarb drip, and elimination techniques with IV loop diuretics and hemodialysis.
