ETIOLOGY of RHABDOMYOLYSIS
Non-traumatic Traumatic
• Metabolic myopathies • Traffic or working accidents
• Drugs and toxins • Prolonged immobilization
• Infections • Vessel clamping
• Electrolyte abnormalities • Strainful exercise of muscles
• Electrical current
• Endocrine disorders
• Hyperthermia
• Polymyositis, dermatomyositis
• Disasters
TERMINOLOGY - I
MEDICAL
• Hypovolemic shock
• ARF
SURGICAL
• Hyperkalemia
• Local findings of trauma
• Compartment syndrome • Heart failure
• Respiratory failure

RENAL DISASTER !
CRUSH SYNDROME
In earthquakes:
(following the direct effect of trauma)
IS THE MOST FREQUENT CAUSE OF DEATH!
BACKGROUND
MEDICAL SURGICAL
(Crush syndrome (Travma ile ilgili)
and complications comp.)
• Compartment syndrome
• Thorax trauma
• Hypovolemıc shock
• Acute renal failure • Abdominal trauma
• Hyperpotasemia • Other traumas
(Skull , spine, pelvis)
• Heart failure
• Pulmonary failure
• Infections
• Death/injured ratio in earthquakes is: 1/3
Marmara Earthquake:
1.5% (639/43,953)

INDICATIONS FOR DIALYSIS
Advantages:
• High clearence rate
• Possibility to dialyze without anticoagulation
• Treating several patients at the same machine
• Arterial cannulation is not required
Disadvantages:
• The procedure is complicated
• Experienced health personnel is needed
• Electricity and tap water are needed
• Risk of dialysis disequilibrium syndrome
Collins Crit Care Clin 1991; Solez et al. Kidney Int 1993; Vanholder et al. NDT 2000
RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY
SLOW CONTINUOUS THERAPY
Advantages:
• Fluid balance can easily be maintained
• No risk of dialysis disequilibrium syndrome
• Can be rapidly set in the field
• Opportunity to freely feed the patients
Disadvantages:
• Low clearence rate of uremic solutes and potassium
• Experienced health personnel is needed
• Electricity and large amount of fluids are needed
• Need of continuous anticoagulation
• Immobilization, decubitus
Collins. Crit Care Clin 1991; Solez et al. Kidney Int 1993; Vanholder et al. NDT 2000
RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY
PERITONEAL DIALYSIS
Advantages:
• System is very simple
• No risk of dialysis disequilibrium syndrome
• Vascular access is not required
• Does not require electricity
Disadvantages:
• Low clearence rate of uremic solutes and potassium
• Cannot be applied in abdominal trauma / heart failure
• Large amount of fluids are needed
• Unhygienic conditions in disasters may be problematic
