Core Tip
Core Tip: Bradycardia, renal failure, atrioventricular nodal blockade, shock, and hyperkalemia (BRASH) syndrome is an acronym used to describe a constellation of BRASH. Effective management of BRASH syndrome often requires a multidisciplinary approach within the intensive care unit and consists of cessation of offending agents, potassium lowering measures, renal replacement therapy, hemodynamic pressor support, and/or cardiac pacing.
