ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical effects and feasibility of highly concentrated Potassium Chloride via central venous catheterization by micro pump on severe hypokalemia patients in EICU.Methods A totlal of 120 severe hypokalemia patients in our department were randomly divided into experimental group (treated with highly concentrated Potassium Chloride) and control group (normal treatment group) respectively,and treated with Potassium Chloride liquid of different concentration.Potassium levels in blood were checked every hour and the time for reaching standard potassium level (4.0mmol/L) and the total volumes of infusion fluid within 24 hours in the two groups was compared.Results The mean time for reaching standard potassium level and the total volumes of infusion fluid within 24 hours in the experimental group,(12.83 ± 3.57) h and (402.56 ± 54.61) ml respectively,were significantly less than those in the control group (P <0.01),(23.18 ±4.98) h and (2875.2 ± 206.26) ml respectively.Conclusion Highly-concentrated potassium chloride injection via central venous catheterization by micro-pump is a safe,effective and feasible treatment on the patients with severe hypokalemia,especially on the patients with volume-overloaded heart and severe hypokalemia,which is worthy of further clinical research.
