not precise

[@granola1210]

Well explained 👍

[@RhesusMedicine]

Thank you Anna! 🙂

[@robertokristen8316]

you want only to reduce k intake when blood level is between 6 and 6.5 if No ECG change ?
you think this is enough when reading of k is above 6 ??
you definitely have to use insulin when k level above 6, with or without ECG changes,
and where did you forgot kayaxalate !!
review guidelines and correct your video please, to keep audience trust in you
