Nice to know: That one of the drugs used in lethal injection is Potassium Chloride which is found in EMERGENCY ROOMS as EMERGENCY DRUGS!!!! It can be found almost anywhere, actually. It is used to treat Hypokalemia! -Meaning low potassium in the blood. Abundant Potassium levels are found intracellularly while Sodium is extracellular. We can still find a bit of Sodium inside the cell and Potassium outside the cell for equilibrium. That's the normal anatomy. Safest route is p.o, oral -whatever you want to call it. Given IV comes with strict restrictions and observations. That's where we(nurses) come in and do our nursing management. Well in this case, they're going for IV Bolus or what we call FAST DRIP!!!! CAUSING the heart to contract & contract until... It makes it seems that it's going to explode. Just imagine, the heart pumping blood in and out of the heart to the systemic circulation. The capillaries, veins and arteries WILL COLLAPSE. Bloody!
And I'm beyond your peripheral vision so you might want to turn your head because someday you're going to get hungry and eat most of the words that you just said.
