How is Potassium Shift Managed in Pediatric Patients?
Management strategies depend on the underlying cause and severity of the potassium imbalance. Key approaches include:
Medication Adjustment: Modifying or discontinuing medications that affect potassium levels. Dietary Modifications: Increasing or decreasing potassium intake through food based on the child's needs. Intravenous Fluids: Administering IV fluids containing potassium or other electrolytes as needed. Monitoring: Regular monitoring of serum potassium levels and cardiac function is essential.
