• If central line present and continuous cardiac monitoring, infuse at 20 meq/hr (max = 40 meq/hr).
• If peripheral access only, infuse at 10 meq/hr.
• Serum potassium may be expected to increase by ~0.25 meq/L for each 20 meq IV KCl infused.

Magnesium Replacement
SURGICAL CRITICAL CARE
Electrolyte Replacement Practice Management Guideline
EXCLUSIONS: Patients on hemodialysis/peritoneal dialysis, creatinine clearance <20, have active transfer orders out of the SICU
IV Administration:
· Magnesium replacement will now be one-time doses.
· All doses will be comprised of the appropriate number of 2g/50mL premixed piggybacks. Infuse at a rate of 2gm per hour.
Oral Administration:
· Applies to patients with magnesium level > 1.5 mg/dL who are asymptomatic and able to tolerate PO or PT meds.
· ** Elemental magnesium (supplied as magnesium oxide) or Milk of Magnesia may be initiated; however, diarrhea may be a limiting factor. Separate order must beentered into Wiz/HEO for oral replacement.

Phosphorus Replacement
SURGICAL CRITICAL CARE
Electrolyte Replacement Practice Management Guideline
EXCLUSIONS: Patients on hemodialysis/peritoneal dialysis, creatinine clearance <20, have active transfer orders out of the SICU
** always look at phosphorus level to determine appropriate potassium product **
· Pharmacy will no longer accept verbal phosphorus replacement orders. ALL orders must be entered into Wiz/HEO.
· Always look at potassium level to determine appropriate IV phosphorus product: use
K Phos if K < 4.0 and Na Phos if K ³ 4.0.
· For IV replacement: Pharmacy will dilute in 250mL NS or D5W. Infuse over 4-6 hours.
· For PO/PT replacement: Neutra-Phos / Neutra-Phos K packets are no longer manufactured. K-Phos Neutral tablet is the formulary alternative.
