Potassium concentrations and ventricular ectopy: a prospective, observational study in post-cardiac surgery patients.

abstract：:The disciplines of critical care and palliative care may initially seem to be polar opposites, yet they share fundamental features. Both focus on the sickest patients in the healthcare system. Each discipline's primary goal-extending life for critical care and comfort and quality of life for palliative care-represents...
