47/75 (62.7%) of these patients have received continuous intravenous infusion of potassium and 7 (6.6%) patients have been a management compatible with the most common recommendations (input potassium chloride of 100 mmol, use of the enteral administration and lack of continuous intravenous infusion).
Subjects also received an intravenous infusion of potassium (KCl) during the clamp to prevent hypokalemia.
An additional infusion of potassium was initiated (34 mEq in 10 ml, at 17 mEq/hour) via the proximal lumen.
The fetuses were necropsied shortly after abortion, and the adult males after euthanasia under anesthesia with thiopental and a subsequent intravenous infusion of potassium chlorate solution.
We lost two rabbits because of infection in the NMS group, and the remaining rabbits were killed by infusion of potassium chloride 3 weeks after the last injection, at week 19 after ACLT.
Recent studies on ICU patients confirm that a relatively rapid infusion of potassium phosphate is safe if baseline serum potassium is below 4.5 mmol/l. 1 The infusion rate is thus consequently limited by the serum potassium levels, and also by serum calcium levels, as high phosphate serum levels could induce hypocalcemia, as phosphate could precipitate with calcium in blood vessels and tissues.
Initial replacement strategy may include infusion of potassium phosphate at the rate of 0.1 0.2 mmol/kg over 6 hours, depending on the degree of phosphate deficit (10 mL of potassium phosphate solution for intravenous use contains 30 mmol of phosphorous and 44 mmol of potassium).
She had recently moved to our area and had a peripherally inserted central catheter line in place for the IV infusion therapy of potassium and magnesium that had been prescribed by her previous physicians.
In the ICU, she received a continuous infusion (20 30 mmol/h) of potassium with hourly electrolyte measurement, but also required several infusions of magnesium (each 20 mmol/2 h), together with i.v. boluses of calcium gluconate.
Based on the patient monitoring records during each RRT session we identified therapeutic interventions started before the end of the RRT session in the light of the results of laboratory tests performed during the session (usually in the middle the session): infusion of glucose, potassium, transfusion, extension of the session.
