Are we missing a formula?

← Formula Suggestions

Potassium Deficit

e.g.: Potassiumdeficit (mmol) = weight (kg) x 0,2 x 2 x (desired serumlevel of potassium (e. g. 4,5) – measured actual serumlevel of potassium [mmol/l]

After calculating the deficit a tool to calculate correction by infusiondrip via mixture of KCl 14,9% in other fluids would be very helpful

    Poderia incluir a correção de potássio

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    = [K]-(0.6 mEq/L per 0.1 drop in pH)

    or

    = [K]-(0.6 mEq/L x [7.4 - measured pH x 10])

    Podem acrescentar nos eletrólitos os distúrbios do potássio, cálcio e magnésio?

    English: Can you add in electrolyte disorders of potassium, calcium and magnesium?
