Calcium salts have been recommended for and used in the treatment of various forms of cardiac arrest for many years. Although calcium plays a major role in excitation-contraction coupling, it can have a deleterious effect in some processes of cellular injury. Clinical trials suggest that calcium ...
Cardiac arrest. Evidence suggests that administering calcium during cardiac arrest does not increase survival and might actually worsen the chance for resuscitation. Side Effects Calcium is LIKELY SAFE for most people when taken by mouth or when given intravenously (by IV) and appropriately. Calcium ...
• Be alert for extravasation, which causes tissue necrosis. Adverse reactions CNS:headache, weakness, dizziness, syncope, paresthesia CV:mild blood pressure decrease,bradycardia, arrhythmias, cardiac arrest(with rapid I.V. injection) GI:nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, epigastric pain or ...
Outcomes among neonates, infants, and children after extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation for refractory inhospital pediatric cardiac arrest: a rep... Objectives: Describe the use of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation as rescue therapy in pediatric patients who experience cardiopulmonary arrest ...
Calcium and hydrogen ions compete for protein-binding sites so an increase in pH with alkali therapy will increase the binding sites for calcium, leading to a rapid fall in ionised calcium, potentially resulting in cardiac arrest—unless the calcium is corrected first. Sodium bicarbonate and ...
Cardiac arrest in the presence of hyperkalemia or hypocalcemia, magnesium toxicity, or calcium antagonist toxicity: IV, IO: (Dosage expressed in mg of calcium gluconate): Infants and Children: 60 to 100 mg/kg/dose (maximum: 3 g/dose); may repeat in 10 minutes if necessary; if effective, ...
Adenosine Prevents Hyperkalemia-Induced Calcium Loading in Cardiac Cells: Relevance for Cardioplegia Adenosine prevents hyperkalemia-induced calcium loading in cardiac cells: relevance for cardioplegia. Annals of Thoracic Surgery 1997; 63: 153-161... Aleksander Jovanović and MD and Alexey E Alekseev an...
Nuclear calcium oscillations initiate plant–arbuscular mycorrhiza and nitrogen-fixing bacteria symbioses for nutrient acquisition, with a newly discovered autoactive CNGC15 mutant enhancing these partnerships, potentially improving crop nutrition and reducing inorganic fertilizer dependence. ...
It is also useful in the evaluation of patients in cardiac arrest. This procedure is contraindicated for N/A Indications Detect ectopic parathyroid hormone (PTH)–producing neoplasms Evaluate the effect of protein on calcium levels Identify individuals with hypocalcemia Identify individuals with ...
Calcium Gluconate is approved for intravenous (IV) or oral administration to treat conditions such as hypocalcemia, cardiac arrest, or cardiotoxicity caused by hyperkalemia or hypermagnesemia.
