Guidelines for the Use of Calcium Gluconate 10% (1ml = 0.46 mEq elemental Ca = 9.3 mg elemental Ca) Recommended Neonatal Dose, Route, and Interval 1. Maintenance IV drip: 2 - 4 mEq/kg/day 2.reatment for hyperkalemia with significant EKG changes: 0.5 mEq/kg/dose (~1 ml/kg/dose) over IV 5-10 minutes 4. Exchange Transfusion: If signs of citrate toxicity occur, give 100 mg (1ml) IV for each 100 ml of blood exchanged.
If Tetany returns after 6 hours (3 grams calcium gluconate given) start continuous infusion [5-10g of calcium gluconate /1000 ml D5W infused at rate to prevent tetany-usually 30 to 100 ml/hr]. Make sure magnesium levels are corrected first - patients with hypocalcemia and hypomagnesemia will not respond to calcium replacement. Alternative therapy: give 0.3 to 2 mg elemental calcium/kg/hour as a continuous infusion. Asymptomatic patient: 1 gram calcium gluconate IV q6-12h with careful monitoring of Ca++ levels.
