Treatment for urgent/emergent hyperkalemia involves the following:

1. {{c1::IV insulin + glucose}}

2. {{c2::Bicarbonate}}

3. {{c3::Calcium}}

4. {{c4::β agonists (epi or albuterol)}}

Extra

These are all interventions that hide potassium in the cell. Ultimately, we want to reduce the total body levels of potassium with drugs like kayexelate or furosemide.

Kayexelate and furosemide take a little longer to work, not good if you need to drop the K level ASAP

plus then your poor nurses have to deal with poop everywhere
