	Hyperkalaemia
		Hyperkalaemia is a life-threatening complication owing to the risk of cardiac dysrhythmias, particularly ventricular fibrillation.
		Ion exchange resins are used to prevent subsequent hyperkalaemia rather than to deal with the acute emergency.
		Severe hyperkalaemia is rarely a direct complication of acute poisoning.

	Interventions for non-oliguric hyperkalaemia in preterm neonates
		Reversible hyperkalaemia in preterm infants, first reported by Usher in 1959 (Usher 1959), is now referred to as non-oliguric hyperkalaemia of the preterm infant (Gruskay 1988).
		Non-oliguric hyperkalaemia of the preterm infant is unrelated to leakage of potassium from cell disruption associated with bruising, intracranial haemorrhage, or haemolysis, perinatal asphyxia or acidosis, glucose tolerance and catabolism (Brion 1989; Fukuda 1989; Gruskay 1988; Kilbride 1988; Lorenz 1997; Mildenberger 1996; Sato 1995; Shaffer 1992; Stefano 1993; Stefano 1993a).

	Hyperkalaemia
		Hyperkalaemia is defined as plasma potassium in excess of 5.3mEq/L. Potassium is the most abundant intracellular cation.
		Men are more likely than women to get hyperkalaemia whilst women are more likely to experience hypokalaemia.

	Phentermine (PIM 415)
		Creatinine, urea, and electrolyte measurement are important to establish whether renal impairment or hyperkalaemia is present.
		Death can be due to intracranial haemorrhage, acute heart failure or arrhythmia, hyperpyrexia, rhabdomyolysis and consequent hyperkalaemia or renal failure, and to violence related to the psychiatric effects (Kalant & Kalant, 1975).
		Severe hyperthermia (core temperature greater than 40°C) requires forced cooling by fans, tepid sponging or other means, and may also require the administration of diazepam or dantrolene or both agents in order to eliminate muscle activity.
