It is prohibited to give a kcl above 20 mmol/h i.v. because of arythmia

Thanks for your comment. You are correct if we are talking about correction of mild or non-urgent cases of hypokalemia. In dangerous or potentially dangerous hypokalemia as in DKA patients , who are typically potassium depleted to start with, and need insulin therapy ASAP, we don’t have the luxury to give potassium over 4 hours so YES we give this high rate of 20-40 meq/hr in these patients to quickly bring potassium to safer levels

​@@Hospitalista So is this a case of benefit outweigh risk of pain and phlebitis? Does it help if we put two IV cannula with 20mmol/hr in each, so patient gets 40mmol/hr total?
