Medical resources routinely used for intravenous hydration and resuscitation of critically ill patients may be limited in remote regions of the world. When faced with these shortages, physicians have had to improvise with the available resources, or simply do without. We report the successful use of coconut water as a short-term intravenous hydration fluid for a Solomon Island patient, a labora...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The management of acute renal colic is a problem commonly encountered by both urologists and emergency medicine physicians. The classic approach to managing uncomplicated acute renal colic involves hydration, along with imaging and pain control. Previous studies have suggested that hydration has a significant impact on patient comfort, as well as spontaneous stone passage...

OBJECTIVES This study investigated the effect of furosemide-forced diuresis and intravenous saline infusion matched with urine output, using a novel dedicated device designed for contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) prevention. BACKGROUND CIN is a frequent cause of acute kidney injury associated with increased morbidity and mortality. METHODS A total of 170 consecutive patients with chronic k...

BACKGROUND Intravascular volume expansion represents a beneficial measure against contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) in patients undergoing elective angiographic procedures. However, the efficacy of this preventive strategy has not yet been established for patients with ST-elevation-myocardial infarction (STEMI), who are at higher risk of this complication after primary percutaneous ...

BACKGROUND Optimal hydration measures to prevent contrast-induced nephropathy are controversial. STUDY DESIGN We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis using the MEDLINE database (1966 to January 2008), EMBASE (January 2008), and abstracts from conference proceedings. SETTING & POPULATION Adult patients undergoing contrast procedures. SELECTION CRITERIA FOR STUDIES Randomized con...

PURPOSE To assess the effect of diuretic administration on the image quality of excretory magnetic resonance urography (MRU) obtained following intravenous hydration, and to determine whether intravenous hydration alone is sufficient to produce diagnostic quality studies of nondilated upper tracts. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 22 patients with nondilated upper tracts were evaluated with c...
