Uses:

Calcium Chloride Injection is commonly used for:

1. Acute Hypocalcemia: Rapidly elevates calcium levels in the blood to relieve symptoms like muscle spasms, seizures, or cardiac issues.
2. Cardiotoxic Effects of Hyperkalemia**: Stabilizes cardiac membrane potentials to counteract hyperkalemia.
3. Hypocalcemic Tetany: Provides immediate correction of low calcium levels in severe muscle spasms.
4. Hypocalcemia due to Rapid Transfusion of Citrated Blood**: Corrects calcium depletion that can arise from large-volume blood transfusions.
5. Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS): Used in specific cardiac arrest scenarios as part of resuscitation protocols.

Indications:

• Treatment of acute symptomatic hypocalcemia.
• Management of cardiotoxic effects in patients with hyperkalemia.
• Correction of hypocalcemic tetany.
• Address hypocalcemia resulting from rapid transfusion of citrated blood.
• Adjunct therapy in cardiac resuscitation (according to ACLS guidelines).

Administration and Dosage:

• Route of Administration: Intravenous (IV) only.
• Dosage: As prescribed by the healthcare provider, tailored to the patient’s condition and response. Typically administered slowly over several minutes by IV push or as an infusion.
• Note: Strict adherence to dosage and administration guidelines is critical to avoid complications such as tissue necrosis if extravasation occurs.

• Monitor serum calcium levels regularly to avoid hypercalcemia.
• Use with caution in patients with renal impairment, cardiac disease, or those receiving digitalis therapy.
• Ensure the product is clear and free from particulates before administration.
• Avoid extravasation, as it may cause severe tissue damage.

Storage:
