The association of acute hypercarbia and plasma potassium concentration during laparoscopic surgery: a retrospective observational study

Abstract Background It is uncertain whether increases in PaCO2 during surgery lead to an increase in plasma potassium concentration and, if so, by how much. Hyperkalaemia may result in cardiac arrhythmias, muscle weakness or paralysis. The key objectives were to determine whether increases in PaCO2...
