A member asked:
Is 80 mg of im furosemide appropriate for pneumonia / sepsis / ards?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
We would have to know much more about the patient's age,kidney function & cardiac status,previous response to diuretics as well as other meds being given.When a brisk diuresis in a seriously ill patient is needed, 40-80 mgs is administered IV rather than IM.
