Evaluation of Hypoglycemia Incidence and Risk Factors in Patients Treated with IV Insulin Aspart for Hyperkalemia
Purpose: Intravenous (IV) insulin aspart is an effective treatment option for hyperkalemia in the hospital setting. IV dextrose is commonly administered prior to IV insulin aspart to prevent hypoglycemia; however, hypoglycemia has been identified in patients receiving this therapy. This study aimed to determine the incidence of hypoglycemia in patients receiving IV insulin aspart for hyperkalemia.
