  • Title: Hypokalaemic, hyperchloraemic metabolic acidosis requiring ventilation.
    Author: Dunn SR, Farnsworth TA, Karunaratne WU.
    Journal: Anaesthesia; 1999 Jun; 54(6):566-8. PubMed ID: 10403871.
    Abstract:
    A 16-year-old patient required intermittent positive pressure ventilation for hypokalaemic muscle weakness resulting from metabolic complications of combined colonic bladder augmentation and incomplete voiding via a prosthetic sphincter. Catheter re-establishment of urinary flow and electrolyte replacement produced dramatic metabolic and clinical improvement allowing the return of adequate spontaneous respiration.
