description To report the occurrence of life-threatening hyperkalaemia following treatment with therapeutic thiopentone coma. The neurosurgical intensive care units of Royal North Shore Hospital and Liverpool Hospital, Sydney, Australia. Three patients treated with theraputic thiopentone coma. One patient with raised intracranial pressure secondary to a severe traumatic brain injury and two patients with refractory vasospasm secondary to subarachnoid haemorrhage. Two of the three patients developed hypokalaemia on starting thiopentone, which was resistant to potassium supplementation. All three patients developed severe hyperkalaemia during the recovery phase of coma. This was life-threatening in all three patients and fatal in one. Severe hypokalaemia refractory to potassium therapy may occur during therapeutic thiopentone coma. Severe rebound hyperkalaemia may occur after cessation of thiopentone infusion. Protocols for the management of patients with therapeutic barbiturate coma should recognise this potentially serious complication.
