Effectiveness of different potassium chloride injection formulations

		Formulation^a				Fisher’s exact test
		A	B	C	D	Fisher’s exact test
Number of cases with normokalaemia achieved or maintained among different formulations	Normokalaemia achieved	60	49	3	9	P = 0.172
	Normokalaemia not achieved	30	20	0	10	(n = 181)^b
Number of different times to reach normokalaemia or reversal of hypokalaemia symptoms among different formulations	Below 12 h	12	2	0	2	P = 0.518
	Between 12–24 h	20	8	0	2	(n = 76)^c

^a A: potassium chloride concentrate 1 g (13.4 mmol) in 10mL injection, B: 20 mEq potassium chloride in 0.9% sodium chloride injection 1 L, C: 40 mEq potassium chloride in 0.9% sodium chloride injection 1 L, D: 20 mEq potassium chloride in 5% dextrose injection 1 L. bAmong the 296 cases using potassium chloride injections, 181 cases had records for serum potassium levels after potassium chloride injection administration. c Among the 296 cases using potassium chloride injections, 76 cases had records for time to reach eukalaemia or reversal of hypokalaemia symptoms.
