Scientific Evidence:

Calcium Chloride is a well-established treatment for acute hypocalcemia due to its rapid onset of action. Studies have shown that intravenous calcium administration can effectively raise serum calcium levels in critically ill patients.

Additional Information:

Calcium Chloride works by increasing the levels of calcium in the body, which is essential for various physiological functions including muscle contraction, nerve transmission, and blood clotting. It is considered a first-line treatment for hypocalcemia in emergency situations.

Compared to other calcium salts, Calcium Chloride has a higher concentration of elemental calcium, making it a preferred choice in severe hypocalcemia cases. Clinical trials have demonstrated its efficacy in reversing the effects of calcium channel blocker toxicity.
