The solution is intended to provide phosphate ion, (po4-3) for addition to large volume infusion fluids for intravenous use. potassium phosphates injection, usp, 3 mm p/ml, is indicated as a source of phosphorus, for addition to large volume intravenous fluids, to prevent or correct hypophosphatemia in patients with restricted or no oral intake.it is also useful as an additive for preparing. Hypokalemia (defined as a serum potassium level of less than 3.5 mmol/l) is one of the most common electrolyte abnormalities encountered in clinical practice with more than 20% of hospitalized patients affected and approximately 40% of icu patients. also look for weakness or palpitations, ecg changes, severe hypokalemia (less than 2.5 meq/l.

From my understanding, the question could have been rewritten: “calculate the mass (g) of nacl to give 78 meq of sodium ions in solution.” nacl will dissociate into 1 meq of sodium and 1 meq of chloride ions. in other words, 1 mol nacl will dissociate into 1 mol sodium and 1 mol chloride ions. 78 meq = 78 mmol = 0.078 mol.

Serum potassium < 3.0 meq/l (total body deficit 200-300 meq) start with kcl 20 meq orally every 2 hours for 4 doses and consider recheck level; typically continue potassium replacement at 20 meq twice daily for 4-5 days; serum potassium: 3.0 to 3.5 meq/l(total body deficit 100-200 meq) give kcl 20 meq orally every 2 hours for 2 doses or kcl 40. From my understanding, the question could have been rewritten: “calculate the mass (g) of nacl to give 78 meq of sodium ions in solution.” nacl will dissociate into 1 meq of sodium and 1 meq of chloride ions. in other words, 1 mol nacl will dissociate into 1 mol sodium and 1 mol chloride ions. 78 meq = 78 mmol = 0.078 mol. In examining the effect of bmi on the level of potassium repletion achieved per 10 meq of potassium administered, the intravenous group had an increase in serum potassium ranging from 0.10 to 0.17 meq/l per 10 meq administered while patients that received oral potassium had a change in potassium that ranged from 0.12 to 0.13 meq/l per 10 meq.
The oral dose of 10% potassium chloride elixir (kay ciel) required to reverse thiazide-induced hypokalemia was determined in 15 patients with essential hypertension who were taking esidrix (hydrochlorothiazide) in a dose of 50 mg. twice daily.each patient had maintained a serum potassium concentration of at least 0.5 meq./l. less than duplicate control values (mean decreases, 0.62 meq./l.) for. Hypokalemia is serum potassium concentration < 3.5 meq/l (< 3.5 mmol/l) caused by a deficit in total body potassium stores or abnormal movement of potassium into cells. the most common cause is excess loss from the kidneys or gastrointestinal tract. clinical features include muscle weakness and polyuria; cardiac hyperexcitability may occur with severe hypokalemia..
