Dose –response of intravenous calcium in the surgical intensive care unit

Conclusion We observed that change in iCa level after initial calcium dose depended on the baseline iCa. Our full and simplified model excluding two outliers predicted 76.9% and 75.6% of the variation in iCa response, respectively. If validated in other settings this model could be utilized to provide more accurate calcium dosing.
