Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Unknown status
Study Type: Interventional




Official Title: Comparison of Enteral Versus Intravenous Potassium Supplementation in Hypokalemia in Post Cardiac Surgery Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Patients - Prospective Open Labe

Brief Summary:

Null hypothesis: There is no difference in the efficacy of IVPR and EPR during an episode of hypokalemia.

Alternate Hypothesis: There is a mean difference of 15% in Serum Potassium levels between the two groups.

Objective: To compare the efficacy EPR and IVPR for treatment of hypokalemia (measured as change in serum potassium levels in milliequivalent/L after potassium replacement)
