One week ago, the patient developed abdominal distension and shortness of breath that resolved after large-volume paracentesis and was started on furosemide 40mg p.o. daily and aldactone 100mg p.o. daily. After initiating diuretics, the patient noted worsening lower extremity edema, and increased...
When more aggressive maneuvers are indicated, some authorities favor early use of diuresis (ie, furosemide 20 mg IV or mannitol 1 g/kg IV), provided that circulatory volume is protected. Hyperventilation in intubated patients, with an arterial carbon dioxide tension (PaCO2) of 25-30 mm Hg as...
To treat her pulmonary oedema she was given IV furosemide 60 mg BD, while she was also started on dual antiplatelets, Aspirin 75 mg nocte and Clopidogrel 75 mg nocte as a precautionary measure in view of covering a potential acute coronary event. Table 1 Baseline laboratory parameters- day ...

If the BP goal was not achieved with ramipril, 10 mg/d, additional drugs were added (furosemide, β-blockers, calcium channel blockers, centrally acting α-adrenergic blockers, and direct vasodilators). All drugs were open label. Consistent with AASK trial phase results, the initial BP ...
A single furosemide dose of 1.0 or 1.5 mg/kg (depending on prior furosemide exposure) is administered, and the urine output in the first 2 hours is measured. A 2-hour urine output of less than 200 mL offers the best combination of sensitivity and specificity and has a good...
