What are
the indications for calcium salt adminis-tration?
Routine calcium chloride or calcium gluconate
admin-istration has also been scrutinized. Studies indicate that intracellular
calcium accumulation may be a final common mediator of cellular injury and

hyperkalemia, documented hypocalcemia, and calcium-channel blocker overdose.
Calcium salts are not recommended in the routine treatment of electromechanical
dissociation or asystole.
