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 />
