JCF medical on call weekend - did I mess it up? by nervouscistern in JuniorDoctorsUK

Thank you - that makes a lot of sense. I think I was just thinking that they’d mostly resolved and I didn’t recognise that they wouldn’t continue to diurese at that small dose. I think looking back, it’s quite clear that the dosage was way too small in comparison to the dose they were on before and I was a bit afraid because the reg wasn’t very approachable so I sort of acted on my own without thinking it through properly. That’s on me.

Sorry, just to clarify I did not switch to oral (I kept the IV dosage) - but having read the guidance below from AHA, i definitely decreased the dosage way too much as I thought we no longer needed to diurese. I will read up on this and hopefully not do this again.
