<unk>  based on rapidity of action (fastest to slowest). The choice of therapy also depends on severity of ECG findings and muscle weakness.
Calcium supplements given only in<unk>  with significant EKG findings.
Calcium stabilize cardiac membranes thus antagonizing effects of potassium.
Calcium chloride 0.5 to 1 grams (5-10 ml of 10% solution) via intravenous infusion over 2-3 minutes (central lines are preferred)
Calcium gluconate 1 gram (10 mL of 10 % solution) infused slowly. Peripheral as well as central lines can be used.
Repeat calcium after 5 minutes for persistent EKG changes.
Patient should be on cardiac monitor when calcium is administered.
Calcium can increase digoxin toxicity.
It has a transient effect so calcium therapy should be combined with other long effect therapy.
