Starting Season#14 of the SGEM with this SRMA on the pharmacological interventions for the acute treatment of hyperkalemia.

Great work by @PeterCaroeeLind - even small changes in potassium is associated with increased risk of in-hospital cardiac arrest

Hyperkalemia management: No supporting clinical effect was identified for calcium or bicarbonate. Is it time to rewrite all the order sets? 🎩 tip to the authors.

Should you use calcium to treat #hyperkalemia? 💉 Our new systematic review in @ResusJournal (https://t.co/OA9lFnzyEN) found no evidence supporting calcium for hyperkalemia management.
Thanks to @AsgerGranfeldt & @MarieKJessen for inviting me to be part of this work!
@Ilcor_org
This was a tough one. 40000 abstracts screened. Limited evidence for the use of calcium for Hyperkalaemia

Today the Bicarbonate for In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest
– A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial started at Aarhus University Hospital. Soon it will be recruiting patients at 22 hospitals across Denmark https://t.co/cXT06uuFhN @LW_Andersen @nikostanko
In this study of patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest, high assets💰 were associated with:
⬆️ higher survival
⏲️ longer duration of resuscitation among patients without return of spontaneous circulation
But the effect size may potentially be small

In this study, high socioeconomic status was associated with lower⬇️ odds of in-hospital cardiac arrest.
The findings were consistent across income💵, assets💰, and education📚 and persisted after adjustment for comorbidities.

@ResusJournal
In this study, intra-cardiac arrest transport was associated with a non-significant increase⬆️ in survival within 20 min of EMS on-scene arrival among patients aged 18-65 years.🚑
However, the results should be interpreted carefully.

What is collider bias and why is avoidance of collider bias important?
👉Collider bias is a threat to validity in observational studies and RCTs, but is often less readily recognized than confounding.

In this 📝, outcomes after in-hospital cardiac arrest varied across hospitals in Denmark.
However, most of the total individual variation in outcomes was attributable to patient-level variation.

RCT found treatment with intravenous or intraosseous calcium did not significantly improve return of spontaneous circulation among adults with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest https://t.co/p23an21sM0
