General anesthesia increases serum potassium levels in patients.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
3 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that general anesthesia increases serum potassium levels in patients?

Unclear. Only partial evidence addresses the claim: a pediatric dental anesthesia study reports significant within-group rises in plasma potassium after suxamethonium, a truncated laparotomy study assesses postoperative potassium changes, and two case reports describe intraoperative hyperkalemia under general anesthesia in patients with chronic kidney disease. No retrieved item establishes a general causal effect of general anesthesia itself on serum potassium.
