What is hypocalcemia, and what are the key concepts the NCLEX wants RN nursing students and LPN students to know about fluid and electrolyte imbalances?
Hypocalcemia is fancy words for low calcium in the blood, or low blood serum calcium. Normal calcium levels range from 8.4 - 10.5 mEq/dL according to the NCLEX (NCSBN boards). Calcium is an electrolyte that helps keep the 3 B’s strong: bones, blood (with clotting factors) and beats (heart beats), therefore electrolyte imbalances like hypocalcemia lead to the unique signs and symptoms of
Diarrhea
Trousseau
Chvostek's sign
This video is part of a 12 video fluid and electrolytes series to help registered nurse RN students and LPN students with electrolyte imbalance memorization tricks. In this video Michael Linares, RN from Simple Nursing helps pinpoint the exact causes and treatments for hypocalcemia, which is expected to know for the NCLEX, HESI, ATI, and Kaplan proctor exams.

I was taking magnesium citrate for awhile and eventually developed twitching and heart palpitations. I eventually tried calcium citrate and the symptoms went away. So be careful with too much magnesium

@hopeaceverything Год назад

You were huge part of me passing my NCLEX exam. Thank you.

@Mister_MasterzRN 3 года назад

I’m 45% tactical 35% visual 20% auditory. You hit all of those areas at once! What would’ve taken me at least two days of reading I was able to comprehend with your video after watching it once. I genuinely want to thank you for all of the content that you share to better nursing students in their journey! The nursing students like me need you. There are a lot of teachers out there that are just very bland. 😑

@thefors4ken162 3 года назад

Need to see more about this condition. I’m 5 years after being diagnosed with stage 2 papillary carcinoma / thyroid cancer. Lost my thyroid and all para thyroids. Didn’t know it at the time but cancer would metastasize into the upper chest and right lung (still fighting it all). Lost my ability to properly absorb an regulate all electrolytes. I’m a pretty unique case an currently being “studied” lol in my area. Anyway I’ve had extreme calcium problems for 4+ years. My calcium levels have ranged from a 2.8 to a 24 (please don’t not forget to get true calcium reading you need to adjust it through your albumin level - this will give an adjusted calcium level an a truer blood calcium level). I struggle and now spend about 7-11 days a month admitted into the hospital every month for hypocalcemia due to numerous medication failures as well as my body developing anti-bodies to synthetic PTH hormones that I would inject daily (NatPaRa) it rendered the drug ineffective. So essentially I’m stuck in limbo and my never ending hospital stays monthly. BUT still fighting and never lose hope. Mental deterioration has become a big problem along with my bones and teeth weakening. Anything suffering for this my prayers go out to you.

I’m currently in the hospital and this is my situation except that only one part of my parathyroid was removed. My calcium is beyond low…they keep giving me more calcium and the blood tests come back with it being lower than the day before. They have no idea when I can go home. 🥺😞

in my med surg book, it says that immobility can cause hypocalemia, can anyone explain that

@vladalexandrucioloca6824 3 года назад

Hello... nice job with this channel... so much good info.... as a question : taking magnesium citrate (300 mg per day ) can cause in this case low levels of calcium and magnesium eventually ? Thanks and keep up the good work

We just had 3 1/2 parathyroids removed. So I’m here to learn how to treat this hungry bone syndrome

@sergioblanco6321 3 года назад

Hi.. Does low Calcium cause dizziness?

@donzken 4 года назад

I was just reading the saunders comprehensive nclex rn 8th edition, it says, in pag 103, table 8.5, cardiovascular effect of hypocalcemia is decreased heart rate which is opposite to ur cited sign which is ventricular tachycardia. Can u pls explain. Tnk u.

@ananaanana5526 4 года назад

Hi, Low calcium level affects the permeability of sodium channels on the exitable cell membranes - sodium channels become more permeable to sodium ions ( necessary step for depolarization), sodium concentration in the cells increases, resting membrane potential becomes more positive which facilitates spontaneous depolarization - increased exitability. Regarding heart - sinoatrial and atrioventricular node 0 phase of depolarization require calcium. Because calcium is low - action potential generation is slow - thus slow ( or irregular) heart beats. But myocardiocytes require sodium to generate 0 phase of action potential, sodium permeability is increased, spontaneous action potential is generated ( spontaneous exitability) and you will have different arrhythmias including ventricular.

Does Hypercalcemia can cause muscle cramps?

@reneelewis9346 4 года назад

If Calcium in the blood is low, that means calcium in the bone is high right?? If so, why is there a high risk for fractures??

@SimpleNursing 4 года назад

Hey Renee, negative. If calcium is the blood is low, the body tries to fix that low blood Ca by taking it from the bones & dumping it into the blood..... & thats why the bones get weak! :) Here is free access to our entire video library, not on youtube simplenursing.com/free-trial/
