How does calcium "stabilize the cardiac membrane" in hyperkalemia?

I learned early in my intern year to use calcium in the setting of severe hyperkalemia.

I never really learned how it works. The answer requires some history. And uncovers a forgotten alternative treatment.

@HDronePharmD This is Ruth! I’ve had her for two days and she’s so sweet.

[Jared Hopkins @JaredRHopkins]

@HDronePharmD Looks familiar.

If you're only scanning the second and third intercostal spaces, you're definitely missing PTXs in supine patients.

Zones 9, 11 and 12 have highest rate of PTX in trauma patients.

@nicolemushero @wesleytkerr @emily_fri Elderly was in the vignette, however.

@EM_RESUS You seem to have upset anyone who isn’t an EM doc.

[Jared Hopkins @JaredRHopkins]

@LynnTitshaw @EM_RESUS This is shocking to me, having worked in Massachusetts, Kentucky and now Minnesota. Medics, sure, but otherwise in every hospital I’ve worked in it will be EM, anesthesia, or maybe pulm/crit. At my current and last hospital, EM does all emergency airway for the hospital.

@VUMC_EM @hcmcEM which staff do we nominate for next week’s conference?

5. In other words, giving a known dose of tramadol is like giving venlafaxine and morphine in an unknown ratio.

Seriously, why do that?

Why can furosemide improve dyspnea/pulmonary edema from acute congestive heart failure within minutes of administration?

The answer does not involve diuresis.

A patient with a rare condition was brought in to our ED last night - the first one our senior nurse has seen in her forty year career.

It was a gunshot wound.

[Jared Hopkins @JaredRHopkins]

@haithamahmedmd No.

@jonbcole2 @nephrotox Me trying to make sense of those numbers

[Hennepin County EM @hcmcEM]

Treating a puking patient on methadone is a recipe for disaster. This patient went into torsades on the way to CT after zofran admin, spontaneously resolved. Repeat ECG shows 2nd degree type 2 AV block with junctional escape rhythm vs CHB. @smithECGBlog

This is why we use MRI in patients with suspected scaphoid fractures who remain symptomatic - despite apparently normal radiographs. #FOAMed #FOAMrad #orthotwitter
