Veterinary professionals should be aware that hyperkalemia can develop intra-operatively and remains be an important differential diagnosis in bradycardic patients under anesthesia that are not responding to traditional therapies.Īn 11-year-old, 49.9 kg, male neutered Rottweiler was presented to the Ophthalmology Service of Cornell University Veterinary Specialists (CUVS) for an elective bilateral phacoemulsification of diabetes mellitus-induced cataracts. However, numerous other diseases and medications can also lead to peri-operative hyperkalemia. New or unique information provided: Considering that there is a relationship between the development of severe hyperkalemia and propofol administration in human patients, it is possible that such a relationship exists in veterinary patients. The patient was discharged from the hospital without further complications and post-operative rechecks showed persistently normal serum potassium levels. The patient responded to standard therapy for hyperkalemia on both occasions and serum potassium levels returned to normal. No underlying cause of hyperkalemia was definitively identified. The patient showed ECG changes consistent with hyperkalemia during the first anesthetic event, but not the second. The patient received similar drug protocols in both instances, including propofol, midazolam, non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents, and isoflurane inhalant anesthetic. The definitive underlying cause of the hyperkalemia remains unknown.Ĭase summary: A 11 year-old male neutered Rottweiler underwent general anesthesia on two separate occasions at two different hospitals for ophthalmic surgery within a month and developed marked hyperkalemia on each occasion. This will take you to an online portal where it will ask for their clinic id, username and password.Objective: To describe the development of recurrent hyperkalemia in a dog that underwent general anesthesia at two different hospitals within a month.
