MC (B2B): Delivery-Related Emergencies in Critical Care Transport

This MicroCourse goes full send on one of the nastiest killers in medicine: hyperkalemia. From subtle ECG “maybe” changes to full-on wide-complex disaster, ShadeTreeCardiology walks you through what’s happening at the cellular level and exactly what to do about it—calcium, shifts, dumps, dialysis, the whole arsenal. You’ll learn how to spot it before it spots you, choose the right meds in the right order, and manage these patients safely in the transport world. Fast. Focused. Field-ready.

ECG Ninja Moves

Rock-Solid Treatment

Hyperkalemia is one of those “oh crap” labs that can go south fast if you don’t have a plan. ShadetreeCardiology breaks it down from ion shifts to lethal rhythms in a way that actually sticks. You’ll walk away knowing exactly what to do when the K comes back ugly.
This isn’t “tall T wave = bad, next slide.” You’ll learn how to read the subtle, early ECG changes before the patient tanks. The next time you see that sketchy tracing, you’ll be the one calling the play—not scrambling to catch up.
Calcium, insulin, bicarb, albuterol, dialysis—what to give, when to give it, and why it matters in the real world. ShadetreeCardiology walks you through clean, repeatable treatment sequences you can actually use on shift. Less guessing, more systematic, deadly-serious hyperkalemia management.
