Use of Sodium Bicarbonate as Prophylaxis for Kidney Damage in Patients With Heatstroke
Sponsor: Hospital General de Mexicali
Summary
This study protocol aims to prevent the need for renal replacement therapy in patients with rhabdomyolysis secondary to heatstroke. It is based on previous studies showing that bicarbonate infusion reduces renal failure in similar contexts. The intervention will be conducted at the General Hospital of Mexicali during the summer, targeting the prevention of renal failure and reducing the necessity for renal replacement therapy.
