Hyperkalemia EKG - K of 8.5


Here’s an #ECG of a man with ROSC after cardiac arrest


Computer is calling STEMI 


Burn this ECG pattern into your mind. It’s the classic “Pseudo-STEMI” pattern of ↑K+ !


Last thing these patients need is a contrast load to their kidneys in the Cath Lab!


K+ was 8.5 !
