When CRRT on ECMO Is Not Enough for Potassium Clearance: A Case Report
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is an excellent method used to remove fluid and solutes. It may also reduce the systemic inflammatory response for patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support. The objective of this report is to describe a case where CRRT in combination with ECMO was insufficient to control hyperkalemia. METHODS: We report the case of an adolescent patient with refractory symptomatic hyperkalemia due to substantial rhabdomyolysis in which CRRT insufficiently cleared the patient's excess potassium. RESULTS: Intermittent hemodialysis (IHD) was added and proved successful. The patient was weaned off ECMO, CRRT, and IHD, and his cardiac and renal function eventually normalized. CONCLUSIONS: Two important lessons can be learned from this case report: (1) If CRRT is insufficient in achieving a desirable potassium balance, additional IHD should be considered and (2) separate IHD access should be considered to improve efficacy.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
