TI  - Manual ventilation therapy and aggressive potassium supplementation in the 
      management of respiratory failure secondary to severe hypokalaemia in a cat with 
      exocrine pancreatic insufficiency.

AB  - A domestic shorthair cat was referred for progressive muscle weakness and 
      dyspnoea. The cat had a 2-month history of severe weight loss, small intestinal 
      diarrhoea, polyphagia and polyuria/polydipsia. Biochemical analysis and venous 
      blood gas evaluation revealed severe hypokalaemia [1.7 mmol/l; reference interval 
      (RI): 3.5-5.1 mmol/l] and hypoventilation (partial pressure of carbon dioxide = 
      68 mmHg; RI: 34-38 mmHg). Aggressive potassium supplementation was initiated. The 
      cat was manually ventilated until serum potassium increased to 3 mmol/l. A 
      diagnosis of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) was made based on clinical 
      signs and serum feline trypsin-like immunoreactivity (0.1 mug/l; RI: 12-82 mug/l). 
      Medical management of the EPI resulted in clinical recovery.
