Yu Xiyan looked at Lin Yu like a fangirl. Hearing his question, her pretty face blushed, and she quickly came to her senses. After thinking for a moment, she said, "To treat hypokalemia, generally administer 5-10U of regular insulin intravenously, followed immediately by a rapid injection of 50mL of 50% glucose or simultaneously with the insulin! Afterwards, 10% glucose solution should be infused at a rate of 50mL/h to prevent hypoglycemia!"
Lin Yu nodded, then shook his head. "That's under the premise that serum K > 6.5 mEq/L! If ECG changes include the loss of p waves or widening of the QRS complex, intravenous calcium, insulin, and glucose treatment is required; if the condition worsens, and the ECG shows a sine wave or cardiac arrest, the injection rate of calcium gluconate can be increased!"
"Because calcium can counteract the effects of high blood potassium on myocardial excitability!" Lin Yu concluded.

"They are so professional!"
Lin Yu smiled and waved his hand, saying to Xi Yan, "Hurry up and treat the child. Although his condition isn't serious enough to cause sudden death, there are still some risks!"

After the child received the medication, his vital signs gradually returned to normal, and his face regained its rosy color.
He Wu breathed a sigh of relief and said with admiration, "I used to have some prejudice against traditional Chinese medicine and people without formal education, but it seems I was indeed shallow. After meeting Dr. Lin, I realized that medical skills really have nothing to do with education! Dr. Lin, you are truly a miracle doctor, even more professional than other professionals!"
