Patient hospital report
A patient's treatment diary reports:
"RITMO SINUSALE FC 108 R. PQ 0.16 SEC. ALTERATO RECUPERO ANTEROLATERALE E LATERALE ALTO. SI PRATICA 1 PUFF NATISPRAY CON BENEFICIO. K SU EGA 3.4".
(I'm not shouting, I just copied and pasted the original in caps!)
I know EGA is blood gas analysis but what's "K"?
(the patient went to the emergency department because of chest pains)

Note from asker:
