The Issue: calcium chloride 100 mg/mL X 10 mL vials are on backorder and supply within Northern Health may deplete prior to backorder resolution.
Potential Alternatives*:
- calcium chloride 10% (100 mg/mL) X 10 mL pre-filled syringes
- calcium gluconate 10% (100 mg/mL) X 10 mL vials
provides 0.23 mmol/mL (9.3 mg/mL) elemental calcium
1 g of calcium chloride is equivalent to approximately 3 g of calcium gluconate
