Introduction

  • Infusion-related reactions (IRRs) are well-known adverse drug reactions of many biological agents and antineoplastic medications
  • While typically mild-to-moderate in intensity, IRRs can be severe, with potentially life-threatening consequences requiring urgent interventions
  • Appropriate use of pre-treatment medications, such as corticosteroids, antihistamines, intravenous fluids, and antiemetics reduces the incidence and severity of IRRs

Purpose

  • Evaluate the use of pre-treatment medications in patients with experienced IRRs at an outpatient infusion center
  • Identify opportunities to improve treatment plans and reduce the occurrence of IRRs

Evaluating The Effect Of Sodium Zirconium Cyclosilicate In Acute Hyperkalemia Management, Austin Brandes, Hannah Thompson, Paul Huiras

Pharmacy Posters

Introduction

  • Sodium zirconium cyclosilicate (ZS-9) can acutely decrease serum potassium (K) levels after one dose and may have favorable side effects compared to sodium polystyrene sulfate (SPS).
  • ZS-9 replaced oral SPS in the Hyperkalemia Order Set at St. Cloud Hospital in April 2019

Purpose

  • To characterize the acute potassium-lowering effects of one 10-gram dose of sodium zirconium cyclosilicate in conjunction with other potassium-lowering medications
