Simulation Casebook<br />
Harvard Medical School Draft of the 1 st edition (2011), updated 3/2/12<br />
d. Exercise hyperthermia<br />
e. Important metabolic abnormalities in rhabdomyolysis (hyperkalemia,<br />
hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, metabolic acidosis)<br />
b. Etiology: exercise, drugs, medications (ACE inhibitor, HCTZ, statins), direct muscle<br />
injury, seizure, DKA, infections, heat related syndromes, myopathies<br />
c. Pathophysiology<br />
i. necrosis of striated muscles<br />
ii. ARF: major theories (volume depletion resulting in renal<br />
ischemia, direct tubular injury)<br />
d. Treatment<br />
i. IVF resuscitation: volume repletion and to establish a diuresis<br />
ii. Management/diagnosis of underlying cause<br />
iii. Serial measurements important (serum potassium, calcium,<br />
phosphate, and creatinine, urine pH, urine output<br />
iv. Discuss indications for dialysis<br />
v. Discuss theory behind urine alkalinization (although no longer<br />
recommended over aggressive IV fluid resuscitation<br />
vi. Discuss EKG findings/management of hyperkalemia<br />
e. Complications<br />
i. Cardiac arrest, acute renal failure<br />

Development and Deployment<br />
This case was developed for independent study sessions for first and second year medical students.<br />
Variants have been deployed as part of “transition to the wards” integration curricula for rising third year<br />
medical students.<br />
