Tight K Study

Prevention of dysrhythmias on cardiac intensive care unit - does maintenance of high-normal serum potassium levels matter?
@TheBHF funded UK research #TIGHTK

[JAMA @JAMA_current]

Relaxed potassium supplementation (threshold 3.6 mEq/L) post-CABG surgery is noninferior to tight control (4.5 mEq/L) in preventing atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery, potentially reducing costs & patient risks. https://t.co/rPSfoaORbl

1/ BREAKING: The Tight K trial- potassium and AF prophylaxis after CABG.
MAIN FINDINGS - supplementation of potassium when [K+] fell below 3.6mEq/L was non-inferior to current widespread practice of supplementing potassium to maintain a [K+] of 4.5mEq/L. #ESCCongress #TIGHTK

[Tight K Study @TightKstudy]

4/ The TIGHT-K Trial has shown that the widespread practice of maintaining a high normal serum potassium can be abandoned after CABG surgery #ESCCongress #TIGHTK @TrudieLobban @KnowYourPulse
