Corrected potassium can be a challenging concept and difficult to calculate. Using some figures and calculations, a very good understanding of the concept can be achieved. Let's do it together!
Always welcome!!! Thank you for watching the video. Please subscribe to the channel and press on the bell icon to get updated new videos. We will upload hundreds of new videos over the next few months. Watch the space!!! Have a nice day…
So please if I understand well when the corrected potassium falls within the normal range we are not supposed to administer potassium to the patient right?
@@mbohhonorine8470 Yes! You are on fire! Let me illustrate : for example I saw a patient with pH 7.0 and K= 7mmol/L. The corrected K will be 5 (when pH will be 7.4) as per my calculation. Therefore, we do not need to add any K in this patient.
@@mbohhonorine8470 There was another patient with pH 7.0 and K 4.5mmol/L. From my video you can predict that this patient's K will be 2.5 when pH 7.4 is regained. So, add K to this guy. Easy peasy!!! Let me know if you have understood the concept. Thank you!!!
What did you mean 10:40 when you said "don't confuse b/w expected & corrected K"? Are they same but we should say "corrected"? If they are different, can you please explain the difference
Corrected potassium is the predicted potassium when pH 7.4 is achieved. Expected potassium is the potassium that is supposed to be in the current pH. They are not the same. I will explain the concept with animation in a new video. Thank you

Thanks a lot again. It's clear. Looking forward to the video on Expected potassium😊

Thanks for the message. I will explain that in a new video soon.

Still need to improve teaching skills not properly understandable . Very waste explanation
Amazing! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
