Managing hypokalemia (low potassium levels) in cardiac arrest patients is crucial to prevent arrhythmias and promote successful resuscitation. Here's a step-by-step approach: Pre-Arrest Management 1. *Identify and correct underlying causes*: Diarrhea, vomiting, medications (e.g., loop diuretics), and renal losses. 2. *Monitor potassium levels*: Regularly check serum potassium levels. 3. *Supplement potassium*: Administer oral or IV potassium supplements as needed. During Cardiac Arrest 1. *Check potassium levels*: Obtain a stat potassium level if possible. 2. *Administer potassium*: Give IV potassium (20-40 mEq) if serum potassium is <3.5 mEq/L. 3. *Consider potassium bolus*: 10-20 mEq IV push, followed by continuous infusion. Post-Arrest Management 1. *Continue potassium supplementation*: IV or oral, targeting serum potassium 4-5 mEq/L. 2. *Monitor potassium levels*: Frequently check serum potassium. 3. *Adjust potassium intake*: Based on laboratory results and clinical response. Specific Considerations 1. *Magnesium*: Administer magnesium sulfate (1-2 g IV) to prevent hypomagnesemia-induced hypokalemia. 2. *Calcium*: Avoid administering calcium concurrently with potassium, as it may worsen cardiac arrhythmias. 3. *Potassium infusion rate*: Limit to 10-20 mEq/hour to prevent hyperkalemia. 4. *Renal function*: Adjust potassium supplementation according to renal function and urine output. Guidelines and Recommendations 1. American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines recommend potassium supplementation during cardiac arrest if serum potassium is <3.5 mEq/L. 2. European Resuscitation Council (ERC) guidelines suggest administering potassium (20-40 mEq) if serum potassium is <3.0 mEq/L. Important Reminders 1. *Hypokalemia diagnosis*: Requires laboratory confirmation. 2. *Potassium administration*: Should be done cautiously, with close monitoring of serum potassium levels. 3. *Individualized treatment*: Based on patient-specific factors, such as renal function and underlying conditions. Consult relevant guidelines, expert opinions, and local protocols for specific guidance on managing hypokalemia in cardiac arrest patients. References: 1. American Heart Association. (2020).

How much does the device cost?

The pricing is not publicly available. I will try to find out but previously there was a listing for a used ceribell for about $20,000!
