I had labs done, and my doc said that my potassium was considered "critically high". So they want me to get labs done again, just in case it was a "false result". If my potassium is really that high, what could cause that? And can high potassium make you very tired? I am tired all the time.
Are there any studies that show that insulin treatment alone is enough to treat mild HK. Are there any published papers or clinical trials or meta analysis that point to guidelines in this same direction of only giving insulin in high glucose state. It makes sense, I’m just trying to do a class assignment now…
When random glucose level is above 250mg/ DL and the patient is diabetic... Should we give only insulin or take other measures except giving insulin?... Kindly clarify
at 3:47 I explain that we give Insulin without Glucose, since the level of glucose is above 250mg/dl in a diabetic patient. Calcium gluconate can be given as normal.
@@drandrasfazakas Thanks Sir for the reply!... One more thing... Beta adrenergic agonist such as Albuterol given parenterally or by nebulization also have a role in hyperkalemia correction... which was not discussed in this video...
agree with you calcium gluconate stabilises cardiac membrane - ie cardioprotective effect and maybe give this first- so patient does not arrest - then get the insulin / dextrose
Not hooper, but hyper. It comes from greek. I know that you say pronounce it high-per in the states. But I like to use latin and greek words with their pronounciations :D
