Answer to Question 1

potassium

The injured cells loose potassium as catabolism (tissue breakdown) occurs.

conscious sedation

Conscious sedation uses a combination of drugs to produce a reduced level of consciousness and amnesia, as well as pain control, but allows the patient to control his or her own breathing. The recovery is more rapid than with general anesthesia.
