Considerations for Crystalloids - 0.9% NS vs LR vs Plasma-Lyte
- Causes hyperkalemia?
- Safe to give in patients with hyperkalemia?
- Causes lactic acidosis?
- Serum lactate can still be trended in patients with cirrhosis?
- Can cause a NAGMA?
- May be preferable in patients with a metabolic acidosis?
- Safe to give in patients with elevated intracranial pressure?
Update: AKI in NS row was removed- trials were negative for AKI but positive for MAKE per @kidney_boy feedback.
