In this lecture Professor Kristin Beach, MSN, BSN, RN will be discussing Rhabdomyolysis. Rhabdomyolysis (often called rhabdo) is a serious medical condition that can be fatal or result in permanent disability. Rhabdo occurs when damaged muscle tissue releases its proteins and electrolytes into the blood. These substances can damage the heart and kidneys and cause permanent disability or even death.

Great video. I just came home from a 6 day hospital stay with Rhabdo. My CK levels were over 50k for more than 3 days even after the iv started. The numbers started falling 2 days ago and I ended up going through 27 bags of saline. Thank you for helping me understand this better.

you are amazing. first time i've found a nursing youtube channel that feels better than one of my old university lectures. i'm someone who needs to know the deep in's and outs and can't get away with just knowing the hard and fast facts. this was perfectly intricate while still being kept brief.
as a new nurse in pediatrics, i send you a huge thank you!!

[noRthstaR]

Can you discuss sepsis? Thank you. I love your lectures

I admitted myself into the hospital the other day because my heart rate wouldn't slow down even after taking my anxiety medication (I thought It was just a panic attack) so I Asked my mom to drive me to the ER around 1 AM. My blood pressure was way too high and so they drew up several labs, took a chest x-ray, EKG etc. After they gave me different medications and hooked me up to an IV, they sent me to a room and I remember convulsing on the table. It came and went. Waves of being able to talk then my muscles tightening all at once and at some point my heart rate was 117 BPM. They diagnosed me with both hypotension and rhabdomyolysis (had NO idea what that was before this).

I will say I've done various sports over the course of my 23 year old life. It started in the gym running on a treadmill when my ankle had a sudden searing pain. Thought nothing of it then got worse...

I’m a diabetic in remission thanks to CrossFit. Reading the L1 Training this morning it warns of Rabdo. My blood work a few weeks ago unexpectedly showed a decrease in kidney function. I thought how odd that I go into remission and then have kidney issues. I think this explains it. Thank you, the nurse/doctor we all want.

Thank you for answering the questions that I had & even the ones that I think I was going to have. The "ATP" part was a key that I was missing

What about bicarb for treatment to treat the location acid

[LRuso]

I was just released from a 6 day ICU with exercise-induced rhabdo, CK (creatine kinase) was above 14000, but in Canada, they don't tell you the exact number fsr. 3 consecutive nights of really intense exercise that was not usual and I couldn't even move my legs the third day. Brown urine - straight to the ER.
I since wondered why? Why me? This video answers many questions.
Thank you, ninja.

I am sad to know this. When I pretzel, I have messed up my numbers some how.
To pretzel is to have muscle spasms where my muscles peal over my bones. A bad one can cause my chest to lock up on my thighs.
Kissing my ass goodbye, literally.
It is uncanny how quickly a human can shed weight.
Thanks for the memory. You teach very well. Ty
