Acute heart failure The median total intravenous dose of furosemide or equivalent received until the fifth day was 300 [203–415] mg
Usual Adult Dose for Pulmonary Edema: IV: 40 mg IV slowly over 1 to 2 minutes; The ongoing Torsemide comparison with Furosemide for Management of Heart Failure trial (TRANSFORM-HF trial, NCT03296813) is investigating whether torsemide is superior to furosemide in HF patients discharged from hospital
In addition, median weight loss per unit of furosemide was 0
Use of intravenous furosemide rather than oral administration in acute decompensated congestive cardiac failure is universally recommended in international guidelines
Furosemide has historically been the primary loop diuretic used for the management of volume status in heart failure (HF) patients
Significant adverse events include electrolyte abnormalities, photosensitive reactions, and hypotension
Evaluation and optimization of volume status is an essential component of treatment in patients with systolic or diastolic heart failure (HF) [ 1 ]
Patients with refractory heart failure with high oral or intravenous bolus doses of diuretics may be
Optimal treatment for chronic heart failure (HF) has been established, but it is not clear which treatment strategy will improve the prognosis of acute HF (AHF)
The most commonly used loop diuretics are furosemide, bumetanide, and torsemide, which are sulfonamide derivatives
The change of the dose of

The nurse recognizes that administering the drug slowly by IV push reduces the likelihood of which of the following adverse effects of drug therapy? A
Additionally, the “braking phenomenon”, characterized by a Example Dose Conversion: For a patient receiving furosemide 80 mg IV twice daily, the patient could be converted to any of the following oral loop diuretic doses: furosemide 80 mg, bumetanide 2 mg, or torsemide 40 mg
