An INCORRECT statement regarding the management of hypocalcemia is that:
A. correcting a respiratory or metabolic alkalosis increases the level of ionised calcium B. undiluted calcium should be administered via a central vein as it is irritant to peripheral veins C. acidosis will decrease calcium binding to albumin and therefore increase ionised calcium D. when calcium alone is not sufficient for control of hypocalcemia, Vitamin D metabolites can be added E. calcium chloride has been shown to be superior to calcium gluconate |
E. CaCl is more concentrated than CaGl
- just as efficacious in Rx - more irritant given peripherally |
