Hypokalaemia with Respiratory Alkalosis in Anaesthetised Goats (original) (raw)

This study investigates the relationship between respiratory alkalosis and hypokalaemia in mechanically ventilated anaesthetised goats. It identifies significant correlations between blood pH, potassium levels, and mean arterial pressure among anaesthetised goats subjected to varying respiratory rates. The findings highlight the clinical implications of electrolyte imbalances in anaesthesia, particularly in relation to monitoring and managing potassium concentrations during respiratory dysfunction.
