► This video will take you through a comprehensive guide on the urgent treatment of hyperkalemia, a condition marked by dangerously high potassium levels that can lead to severe cardiac complications. Designed for medical students and healthcare professionals, this lecture focuses on the essential steps and best practices for hyperkalemia management, ensuring safety and efficacy.

We start by discussing the three main treatment goals: protecting the cardiac membrane with calcium, moving excess potassium into cells, and finally, removing potassium from the body. You’ll learn when and why calcium administration is crucial in cases with ECG changes or elevated potassium levels to prevent arrhythmias and other cardiac complications. Next, we cover methods to drive potassium into cells using insulin and beta-2 agonists like albuterol, explaining how these treatments work synergistically to lower potassium levels efficiently. Lastly, we review potassium removal options, from loop and thiazide diuretics to cation-exchange resins such as kayexalate, as well as the role of dialysis in severe cases.

Throughout the video, key medications, their mechanisms, and possible side effects are covered in depth, equipping you with the necessary knowledge to handle hyperkalemia confidently. Whether preparing for board exams or real-life clinical settings, this video provides a solid foundation on hyperkalemia treatment protocols. Watch now to understand how to implement each of these life-saving strategies effectively!
