So the real QT is shorter, but the computer does not mention the U-wave, and the U-wave is as important as the T-wave in predicting cardiac dysrhythmias. If cardiac arrest from hypokalemia is imminent (i.e., Document in the patient's chart that rapid infusion is intentional in response to life-threatening hypokalemia."

If cardiac arrest from hypokalemia is imminent (i.e., Document in the patient's chart that rapid infusion is intentional in response to life-threatening hypokalemia." As I indicated above, in our cardiac arrest case, after pushing 40 mEq, the K only went up to 4.2 How would you treat? mEq/L, from 1.9

Could the dysrhythmias have been prevented? If cardiac arrest from hypokalemia is imminent (i.e., As I indicated above, in our cardiac arrest case, after pushing 40 mEq, the K only went up to 4.2 Severe hypokalemia in the setting of STEMI or dysrhythmias is life-threatening and needs very rapid treatment.
