Hypocalcemia, defined as an abnormally low level of calcium in the blood, is a critical condition that can have serious consequences if not managed promptly and effectively. Calcium plays a vital role in various physiological processes, including muscle contraction, nerve function, blood clotting, and cardiac rhythm regulation. The management of hypocalcemia in an intensive care setting requires a systematic approach, beginning with the confirmation of the condition and continuing through appropriate treatment based on the severity of symptoms and laboratory findings [1] [Ref: Algorithm 26.1].

摘要

Hypocalcemia, defined as an abnormally low level of calcium in the blood, is a critical condition that can have serious consequences if not managed promptly and effectively. Calcium plays a vital role in various physiological processes, including muscle contraction, nerve function, blood clotting, and cardiac rhythm regulation. The management of hypocalcemia in an intensive care setting requires a systematic approach, beginning with the confirmation of the condition and continuing through appropriate treatment based on the severity of symptoms and laboratory findings [1] [Ref: Algorithm 26.1].
