EMCREG-International is dedicated to research and education in the fields of Emergency Medicine and Acute Care. Since 1989, EMCREG has evolved into an international research and education network boasting 55 members representing 45 international academic researchers institutions, and have enrolled more 40,000 patients in trials, produced 50+ educational CME monographs, and held 35 live educational symposium. Our interests cover research and education in cardiovascular and neurovascular emergencies, neurointensive care, critical care medicine, and all acute care topics. Our focus is not only on education the physicians but all specialties involved in the care of acutely ill patients, including hospitalists, advanced practice providers, nursing and prehospital care as well as emergency physicians.

This EMCREG-International Proceedings Monograph contains multiple sections reflecting critical input from experts in Emergency Cardiovascular and Neurovascular Care, Pre-hospital Emergency Medical Services, Emergency Medicine Operations, Nephrology, Hospital Medicine, Neurocritical Care, Cardiology, Medical Critical Care, and Trauma and Surgical Critical Care discussing the treatment of hyperkalemia in an approach we hope the reader will find extremely practical and clinically useful. These expert specialists will describe the implications of managing hyperkalemia in their field with patients in the Emergency Department, Critical Care Units, and the Cardiology Clinic. Finally, an EMCREG-International Hyperkalemia Consensus Panel algorithm for the approach to the management of patients with life-threatening hyperkalemia is provided for the clinician and can be expanded in size for use in a treatment area such as the Emergency Department or Critical Care Unit.
