Furosemide

Find Furosemide in Fluids & diuresis. Furosemide inhibits the Na-K-2Cl transporter in the thick ascending limb, producing natriuresis and diuresis.

Overview

Open Interventions → Fluids & diuresis. Choose Off, Low, Medium, High. Effect levels and flow targets represent illustrative modeled responses; they are not clinical dose instructions.

Furosemide inhibits the Na-K-2Cl transporter in the thick ascending limb, producing natriuresis and diuresis.

The paused reference covers the route (IV injection or infusion; oral route for maintenance.), example doses/settings, indications, adverse effects, contraindications/precautions and monitoring. These details are available after the intervention is selected.

What to monitor in the reference: Urine output, weight, renal function, BP and electrolytes.

Step by step

  1. Inspect the untreated disease and active treatment count.
  2. Apply the intervention and compare pressures, forward flow, rhythm and congestion.
  3. Pause for its full reference; use Off or Interventions Reset to restart the comparison.
