Dr Rifat ICU Lectures | Ep 17: Electrolyte disturbances

Episode 17 of Dr Rifat ICU Lectures — for doctors starting their first ICU placement. Electrolytes in ICU move fast. Learn which abnormalities need minutes versus hours: hyperkalaemia with ECG changes (calcium, shift, remove), safe K⁺/Mg²⁺ replacement, paced sodium correction, and calcium/phosphate pitfalls in transfusion, RRT, and refeeding. Further reading: Intensive Care Fundamentals (Duška, Al-Haddad, Cecconi; ESICM / Springer, 2023). Topic order follows that book; this lecture is independently written for teaching.
