Hypokalemia, defined as a serum potassium level below 3.5 mmol/L, is a common electrolyte disturbance encountered in clinical practice, particularly in the ICU setting. Potassium plays a crucial role in maintaining cellular function, particularly in the heart, muscles, and nerves. A significant deficit can lead to serious complications, including arrhythmias, muscle weakness, and even paralysis [1] [Ref: Algorithm 24.1].
