Question for all of you.
QT prolongation with psychotropics is associated with alterations in the K channels of the heart 2ndary to the effects of psychotropics.
Being that this is the case, if you had a patient with an abnormal K level, would this affect your decision to medicate them with a drug known to affect QT prolongation such as haldol?
And if so, to what amount?
