Dog: Formula 132 body weight (kg)0.75 per 24 hr Rule of thumb: 2–6 mL/kg/hr. Calculating Potassium Amounts for Fluids. Note: Do not add KCl to fluids used for rapid intravascular expansion. *Do not exceed 0.5 mEq/kg/hr. DiBartola SP. Fluid Therapy in Small Animal Practice. 3rd ed. Philadelphia (PA): WB Saunders.

10 Ιουν 2024 · Determine the KCl dosage based on the patient’s serum potassium concentration. For IV KCl administration, calculate the total mEq/kg/hr to be administered, ensuring that the supplementation rate does not exceed 0.5 mEq/kg/hr, as rapid administration can be fatal. 51 Never bolus fluids supplemented with KCl.
Potassium chloride (KCl; 2 mEq/mL) is the preferred solution; this is extremely hyperosmolar (4000 mOsmol/L) and must be diluted 1:9 before administration into a peripheral vein or 1:4 if given centrally.
The 2013 AAHA/AAFP Fluid Therapy Guidelines for Dogs and Cats is the most complete and medically sound compilation of updates, insights, advice and recommendations ever developed for helping to ensure that your patients receive appropriate, individualized fluid therapy.
Hypokalemia refers to a serum potassium concentration of <3.5 mEq/L (normal 3.5–5.5 mEq/L). Hypokalemia can result from dilution, decreased intake, poor transmembrane distribution or excessive loss through the GI or urine.
Potassium salts should be used cautiously in pets using digoxin, or pets with acid-base imbalance, kidney disease, stomach ulcers, or heart disease. Use cautiously in pregnant or lactating animals although use is likely safe as long as the dose is appropriate.
