Are you using droperidol or haloperidol to manage patients with cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS)? Comment below what your current front line treatment is. 💭 There are a few new directions you can go and a few things you should avoid in these patients. @EMSwami and Megan will give you the rundown, and discuss a few novel therapies as well. #CHS #cannabinoidhyperemisissyndrome #MedEd #emergencymedicine

高K血症のわかりやすい総説がBMJから出ています。 Ca製剤の機序が「Restoration of cardiac conduction」とされていたり、SZC(ロケルマ)について記載されていたり、実はいろいろとアップデートされている領域です。 Na異常に比べると研究はしやすいと思います。 bmj.com/content/394/bmj-2026…

Nueva revisión de hiperkalemia aguda (BMJ 2026). Lo que cambió, y que probablemente sigas haciendo: 🔴 Dextrosa al 10%, no al 50%. La glucosada hipertónica puede EMPEORAR la hiperkalemia. 🔴 Insulina 5 U (o 0.1 U/kg, máximo 10 U). Misma caída de potasio que con 10 U, con casi la mitad de hipoglucemias (OR 0.55). 🔴 1 g de gluconato de calcio no sirve. 97% necesitó tres dosis de 1 g y una sola dosis no funcionó en NINGUNO. Dosis: 1-3 g. 🔴 El calcio no "estabiliza la membrana". Restaura la conducción por canales de calcio. Traducción práctica: sirve cuando hay QRS ancho, no en la onda T picuda aislada. 🔴 Bicarbonato: no se recomienda de rutina. 🔴 La onda T picuda aparece en menos del 25% de los pacientes con K de 5.5-7.0. Un ECG normal NO descarta hiperkalemia. 🔴 Reevalúa el potasio a los 60 min y otra vez a las 2-4 horas. El rebote es frecuente El tema ya está re-escrito y actualizado en Memodi y Accio. Completo en el canal (t.me/memodiapparticulos).
