New PGY-2 with some questions regarding patients with CKD that I hope some of the experts here can help me with.
With patients with CKD not on dialysis, who comes in for a procedure like dialysis catheter placement or AV fistula placement, would you cancel their case if they have K at 5.5 and what if at 5.8 or 6?
Another question, if someone with CKD following general anesthesia has a seizure, could the anesthetics have contributed to it?
