Choosing the Right Diuretics
Loop diuretics like furosemide are commonly used in the ICU, starting at doses of 20-40 mg IV. In patients with low serum albumin, considering using bumetanide may be more effective. Thiazide diuretics, such as chlorothiazide, can cause hyponatremia and calcium imbalances. Aldosterone antagonists like spironolactone and carbonic anhydrase inhibitors like acetazolamide are also part of the diuretic arsenal.
