➤ What ECG changes suggest hyperkalemia in metabolic acidosis?
Early hyperkalemia causes peaked, narrow T waves. As potassium rises, expect PR prolongation, flattened P waves, widened QRS complexes, and eventual sine-wave patterns. Conduction blocks and ventricular arrhythmias can occur. Correlate ECG findings with serum potassium levels and clinical signs for urgent management.
