KCl must really be applied extremely safely in the same safe running rate. If there’s a bolus, the dangerous heart rhythm disorders can do.

Now, if KCl goes along with a cock bacter, over which other things also run and one changes the running rate of one of the other medicines, it might come to a bolus of KCl. Accordingly, KCl is better to run alone. If you don’t have enough lumens, you can also let KCl run over an already occupied leg, you just have to be clear that you have to be careful. Prohibitions in the sense it is not like other drugs that would crystallize out when they come into contact with other infusions.

It’s best to follow the local hospital rules. If this is done internally, maybe even by service instruction, then you better do it too…

Hey,

This is also known only because too much uncontrolled potassium can quickly lead to hyperkalemia -> cardiac arrhythmias -> cardiac arrest.

Should take place over the thickest (blood-rich) vessels and always diluted.
