There are four main types of episiotomy: 1  Medio-lateral: The incision is made downward and outward from the midpoint of the fourchette either to the right or left. 2  It is directed diagonally in a straight line which runs about 2.5 cm (1 in) away from the anus (midpoint between the anus and the ischial tuberosity).
Technically, hyperkalemia means an abnormally elevated level of potassium in the blood. The normal potassium level in the blood is 3.5-5.0 milliequivalents per liter (mEq/L). Potassium levels between 5.1 mEq/L to 6.0 mEq/L reflect mild hyperkalemia.
Reference Range. Potassium is an electrolyte, which is a mineral in the blood that can be measured by a blood test. Potassium is ingested through food and electrolyte-enhanced beverages and excreted primarily through urine.agnesium deficiency. Hyperkalemia is defined as a serum potassium concentration greater than the upper limit of the normal range. The range in children and infants is age-dependent, whereas the range for adults is approximately 3.5-5.5 mEq/L.
