  2. Potassium chloride (medical use) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_chloride...

    Potassium chloride, also known as potassium salt, is used as a medication to treat and prevent low blood potassium. [2] Low blood potassium may occur due to vomiting, diarrhea, or certain medications. [3] The concentrated version should be diluted before use. [2] It is given by slow injection into a vein or by mouth. [4]

  3. Potassium chloride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_chloride

    Along with sodium chloride and lithium chloride, potassium chloride is used as a flux for the gas welding of aluminium. [citation needed] Potassium chloride is also an optical crystal with a wide transmission range from 210 nm to 20 μm. While cheap, KCl crystals are hygroscopic. This limits its application to protected environments or short ...

  4. Hypokalemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypokalemia

    Typically, a saline solution is used, with 20–40 meq/L KCl per liter over 3–4 hours. [31] Giving IV potassium at faster rates (20–25 meq/hr) may inadvertently expose the heart to a sudden increase in potassium, potentially causing dangerous abnormal heart rhythms such as heart block or asystole. [25]

  5. Anion gap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anion_gap

    Because potassium concentrations are very low, they usually have little effect on the calculated gap. Therefore, omission of potassium has become widely accepted. This leaves the following equation: = [Na +] - ([Cl −] + [HCO − 3]) Normal AG = 8-16 mEq/L Expressed in words, the equation is: Anion Gap = sodium - (chloride + bicarbonate)

  6. Sylvite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sylvite

    Sylvite, or sylvine, is potassium chloride (KCl) in natural mineral form. It forms crystals in the isometric system very similar to normal rock salt, halite (NaCl). The two are, in fact, isomorphous. [5] Sylvite is colorless to white with shades of yellow and red due to inclusions. It has a Mohs hardness of 2.5 and a specific gravity of 1.99.

  7. Ringer's lactate solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ringer's_lactate_solution

    Ringer's lactate solution (RL), also known as sodium lactate solution, Lactated Ringer's (LR), and Hartmann's solution, is a mixture of sodium chloride, sodium lactate, potassium chloride, and calcium chloride in water. [1] It is used for replacing fluids and electrolytes in those who have low blood volume or low blood pressure. [2]

    The recommended formulation includes sodium chloride, sodium citrate, potassium chloride, and glucose. [1] Glucose may be replaced by sucrose and sodium citrate may be replaced by sodium bicarbonate, if not available, although the resulting mixture is not shelf stable in high-humidity environments.
