| Popis: | A retrospective study was done to determine the effect of potassium (K+) infusions on serum levels in children admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Eighty-two percent of 92 cases studied received 40 mEq/L K+ infusion over the treatment period of median 13.0 (interquartile range [IQR]: 7–18) hours. The median K+ value at the end of this period was 3.9 (IQR: 3.4–4.2) mEq/L. There were 31 data points of low K+ values (5.5 mEq/L) during this treatment period. The K+ infusions of 40 mEq/L may be sufficient to normalize serum K+ when treating DKA. |
