Managing hypokalemia (low potassium levels) in cardiac arrest patients is crucial to prevent arrhythmias and promote successful resuscitation. Here's a step-by-step approach: Pre-Arrest Management 1. *Identify and correct underlying causes*: Diarrhea, vomiting, medications (e.g., loop diuretics), and renal losses. 2. *Monitor potassium levels*: Regularly check serum potassium levels. 3. *Supplement potassium*: Administer oral or IV potassium supplements as needed. During Cardiac Arrest 1. *Check potassium levels*: Obtain a stat potassium level if possible. 2. *Administer potassium*: Give IV potassium (20-40 mEq) if serum potassium is
Nicely done doctor
This is super interesting!
Super 👍👍❤

Ptn die or not ?😢
Discharged out of the hospital neurologically intact after a period of ICU admission!
