Hyperkalemia (potassium (K+) level greater than 5.5mmol/L) is a common but potentially life-threatening condition. If left untreated, hyperkalemia can lead to cardiac dysrhythmias, muscle weakness/cramping, paralysis, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea. The purpose of this procedure is to address Hyperkalemia ONLY when the patient has been assessed by a physician AND when a medical prescription for intravenous (IV) insulin has been ordered to treat a hyperkalemia emergency. This procedure will only describe how the nurse should properly prepare the medication and the monitoring to be done afterwards. This procedure will not cover the total medical intervention required when a patient is having a hyperkalemia emergency. Please note That the treatment of hyperkalemia is not limited to only the administration of IV insulin. There must still be an attempt made to remove the extra potassium from the body. A nephrologist can be consulted by the medical team in order to determine a thorough and complete treatment plan to treat the hyperkalemia
