Excited Delirium, Succinylcholine, & Hyperkalemia—A Recipe for Disaster (and a Damn Good Learning Opportunity)

What happens when excited delirium, succinylcholine, and hyperkalemia collide in a single call? Absolute chaos—unless you actually know what you’re doing. In this 30-minute, straight-to-the-point course, we break down a real-world case review from Shadetree Cardiology, where one patient manages to hit all the critical failure points at once.

We’ll walk through how excited delirium wrecks homeostasis, why succinylcholine can be a death sentence in hyperkalemia, and what you should be doing instead. It’s a masterclass in why blindly following protocols without critical thinking is a one-way ticket to disaster.

Get in, learn from someone else’s nightmare call, and get back to saving lives (the right way). Earn 0.5 CE hours while you’re at it. Want more? Grab this course for $10, jump into the full GPS Season Pass, or go all-in with the FULL CODE subscription for unlimited access to every course we offer.
