Presentation
The current case report presented a 43-year-old man with diabetes mellitus with infection, to whom dexamethasone and calcium gluconate were administered in the private clinic. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Entire Body System
-
Soft Tissue Swelling
Abstract Calcium gluconate is irritating to soft tissues and can produce tissue necrosis and slough; Radiographs of the part following extravasation initially show only soft tissue swelling. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
-
Raynaud Syndrome
We conclude that intra-arterial calcium gluconate injection is a successful and well-tolerated therapy for HF burn associated with Raynaud's syndrome. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
-
Acute Intermittent Porphyria
We report a 26-year-old woman who was hospitalized for exacerbation of acute intermittent porphyria. She had a history of hypertension and chronic renal failure. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Cardiovascular
-
Cyanosis
Carefully monitor infants of hypocalcemic mothers for abnormal calcium levels; signs include neuromuscular irritability, apnea, cyanosis, and cardiac arrhythmias. [drugs.com]
Skin
-
Subcutaneous Nodule
The lesions appeared at the intravenous sites as firm subcutaneous nodules or areas of areas of inflammation with central softening and fluctuation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
-
Papule
The 2 most frequent symptoms were the appearance of erythema (65%) and swelling/edema (48%) followed by the appearance of skin necrosis (47%), indurated skin (33%), and yellow-white plaques or papules (33%). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Neurologic
-
Polyradiculoneuropathy
The most common indications were myasthenia gravis (37%), acute inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (31%), and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (13%). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
-
Quadriplegia
With the development of such clinical symptoms of severe hypokalemia as quadriplegia, he was confirmed to have severe hypokalemia through a biochemical test before dying of arrhythmia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
Citrate reactions occurred in 35.6% of Group A and 29.4% of Group B treatments (P 0.3), but in only 8.6% of Group C treatments (P 0.0001). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The other lesion for each animal received no treatment; in this experimental design, each rat is its own control for assessment of treatment efficacy. [doi.org]
Epidemiology
The aim of this study is to present a number of cases of calcium gluconate extravasation, which have occurred in our hospital, and to carry out a review of those clinical cases published in the literature to obtain relevant epidemiological data. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Pathophysiology
And also it presented pathophysiologic mechanism underlying severe hypokalemia as well as suggestions for clinical practice regarding combination use of dexamethasone and calcium gluconate. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prevention
Abstract We have examined the effectiveness of intravenous calcium gluconate infusion in the prevention of citrate reactions during therapeutic plasma exchange. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Supplementation may be done to treat or prevent osteoporosis or rickets. [en.wikipedia.org]
