Скачать или смотреть ECG changes in Hypocalcemia - One Critical Minute [1CM]

In this One Critical Minute we focus on the ECG changes in hypocalcemia!
 
ECG changes in hypocalcemia are few and easy. The QT interval prolongs, primarily by the elongation of the ST segment. Also, aspecific T-wave changes occur, most commonly T-wave inversion. Note that these ECG changes correlate poorly with serum levels, but remember: though uncommon, the longer the QT interval, the greater risk of cardiac dysrhythmias. So keep your patient on the monitor while supplementing calcium if you see these changes.
