High-field facts: Hyperkalemia

► Step into the world of electrolyte imbalances with our in-depth video on Hyperkalemia, specially designed for medical students gearing up for their USMLE exams. This detailed exploration offers a deep dive into one of the most critical aspects of patient care.

Hyperkalemia, a potentially life-threatening condition, is characterized by elevated potassium levels in the blood. Our video meticulously outlines the different stages of hyperkalemia: mild (5.5 to 5.9 mmol/L), moderate (6.0 to 6.4 mmol/L), and severe (above 6.5 mmol/L), each with its own set of challenges and management strategies.

We'll guide you through the causes of hyperkalemia, ranging from renal failure to medication effects, and discuss its impact on the body, particularly the cardiovascular system. Learn about the various symptoms associated with each hyperkalemia stage and the importance of ECG changes as diagnostic tools. Moreover, the short provides an overview of treatment options, emphasizing the urgency and methodology of managing severe hyperkalemia to prevent fatal outcomes.
