ECG: to monitor T wave changes due to hypokalaemia. ECG features of Hypokalaemia: Increased P wave amplitude (peaked P waves) Prolonged PR interval Widespread ST depression T wave flattening or inversion Prominent U waves (most noticeable in the precordial leads) Figure 2 : ECG of a patient with serum K+ of 1.9

Fluid resuscitation was initiated. Here is the initial ED ECG: What do you think? The ECG shows peaked T waves, QRS widening, a coved-type ST segment with inverted T waves most prominent in V1 and V2 consistent with Brugada pattern. They opined that the ECG could instead be "metabolic." Creatinine elevated at 3.09
