Hypocalcemia in critically ill children

Hypocalcemia in critically ill children

To determine the prevalence and clinical consequences of hypocalcemia in pediatric intensive care unit patients, we prospectively studied calcium homeostasis in 145 of these patients. The total serum calcium concentration was measured in all patients. The serum ionized calcium concentration was meas...

Zusammenfassung:To determine the prevalence and clinical consequences of hypocalcemia in pediatric intensive care unit patients, we prospectively studied calcium homeostasis in 145 of these patients. The total serum calcium concentration was measured in all patients. The serum ionized calcium concentration was measured in blood samples collected from those 71 (49%) patients who had low total serum calcium values (
