**Four principles of management:
(1) Stabilize myocardium
--Give Calcium Gluconate IV
(2) Shift potassium into cells
--IV insulin
--IV or inhaled beta2‐agonist
(3) Potassium excretion
--90% renal - ↑ ECFV w/ IV saline to promote flow to CCD, then give IV furosemide
--10% GI - promote diarrhea (cation exchange resins) - avoid post-op use
(4) Hemodialysis - if above insufficient**
