Abstract:
BRASH syndrome is a life-threatening clinical entity characterized by Bradycardia, Renal failure, Atrioventricular (AV) blockade, Shock, and Hyperkalemia. This syndrome is often triggered in patients on AV nodal blocking agents who develop acute kidney injury, leading to a "vicious cycle" of worsening bradycardia and renal dysfunction. We present the case of an 83-year-old female with a history of chronic kidney disease and heart failure, who was admitted with severe bradycardia (31 bpm), hyperkalemia (6.9 mg/dL), and shock. Her condition was refractory to standard bradycardia treatment but improved significantly following emergent hemodialysis.

Flail Chest-I
Flail chest is a severe and potentially life-threatening condition characterized by the fracture of three or more adjacent ribs in multiple places. It is most commonly caused by direct impacts and trauma, such as motor vehicle accidents or injuries from a steering wheel impact. It can also occur due to falls in elderly individuals with osteoporosis, or assaults involving sharp objects.
Pathophysiology
The pathophysiology of flail chest is complex, involving fractures of...
