Brief question regarding acute shunt occlusion: What potassium levels are acceptable to your anesthesia team for surgery (shunt thrombectomy) without requiring Shaldon catheter placement and prior dialysis? Are there any guidelines or official recommendations we could reference?

No guidelines
One of those issues where paradoxically surgery will fix the potassium faster than just trying to fix the potassium first 🤔
Of course newer K binders make achieving ok potassium easier without a CVC
