Pediatric Donor Management Guidelines

Before starting T4 drip, be sure that serum potassium levels are within normal range. If potassium is < 0.5 give KCl boluses per protocol. Monitor potassium levels every 4 hrs after starting T4 drip. Monitor PT levels after starting the drip. The use of T4 may potentate the affects of anticoagulants. ................
