The effect of acute cardiac tamponade on atrial pressures, plasma atrial natriuretic factor concentration and renin activity, and renal water and electrolyte excretion was studied in pigs loaded intravenously with hydroxyethyl starch and maintained on a continuous intravenous infusion of isotonic

Migration of the catheter from the right atrium within 24 h of insertion lead to the administration of a potassium-enriched sodium

A 74-year-old male with chronic kidney disease presented to the emergency department with asystole. Mechanical chest compression was started immediately using a piston-type thumper device. The initial potassium level was 7.7 mEq/L and bedside point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) revealed no pericardial

Hemodialysis patients may die suddenly and unexpectedly from a number of causes. These may be divided into those deaths due directly to and occurring during hemodialysis, those deaths occurring while the patient is not undergoing dialysis, and those deaths that may occur at any time. The first group
