Internist and Gastroenterologist here. Kayexalate is a standard drug given to treat hyperkalemia. The physician taking care of the patient did everything right and gave the appropriate drugs (including kay-exlate). There was no need for informed consent (given how small the risk of bowel necrosis associated with this drug). There was no negligence or malpractice here. The patient suffered an unfortunate complication. Hemodialysis is is NOT a safer alternative to kayaexalate and is only considered when all else fails. This lawsuit is a prime example of what is wrong with the practice of medecine. I am 100% certain that if the physician decided to proceed with hemodialsysis (instead of giving kayexlate ) and the patient had an air embolism and died, Miller and Zois would be suing because kayexlate wasn't given first. Shame on you.

I'm not a doctor, but there's always a need for informed consent. I'd imagine that any doctor would want to build trust with their patients, especially because we're in the age of online reviews and, more obviously, doctors can be sued for malpractice. To add, regardless of the rarity of side effects, they should be discussed because, no matter what, those side effects are still possible. If a patient starts experiencing symptoms without knowing it could be related to their treatment, they might dismiss it as being a result of something else instead of contacting their doctor. Plus, it's literally illegal not to obtain informed consent unless the circumstances don't allow the patient to provide it.

Lokelma is very commonly given, in addition to Kayexelate, for hyperkalemia almost everyday in the hospital. Scheduling doses of both or either of these drugs helps reduces effects of hyperkalemia abnormalities. Ischemic colitis is EXTREMELY rare side of this medication. If he was already hypotensive, intermittent hemodialysis would have likely only worsened ischemic injury or made him tenuous. I do not believe you can chalk the ischemic bowel to just the Kayexelate. Very poor outcome for this trial - rather shocked. Please come walk around any medical ward and you will see why this is a ridiculous law suit.

Certainly, that was their best argument at trial. Sometimes that works and sometimes it does not. Sometimes a jury says who knows what will happen so if you negligently kill someone who may be dying, we are going to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he could have survived.

Geez they forgot to mention that pt refused dialysis that morning and refused for his lab that were ordered to be done on him. refusing dialysis resulted in his potassium going up which lead to his heart arrhythmia which required the administration of kayexalate. If he had allowed his lab to be done early that morning- it might be possible that drs would have caught condition (High postassium level) sooner. in my opinion the provider did nothing wrong.

To produce a report known as a transcript. So that everybody doesn't have to do what we're doing and watch countless hours of video disposition. Paper or computer transcripts can be cross referenced and one can flip back and forth to compare things instead of trying to skip around a video, or most likely multiple videos, repeatedly. Voice recognition still comes up with crazy stuff. A court reporter would still have to watch the video and the computer generated transcript to correct the mistakes the computer will make.
