Key result
IV calcium chloride increases cardiac index in cardiac patients and raises MAP and SVR in others.

Intravenous calcium chloride effectively improves depressed cardiac function during neurolept anaesthesia, particularly increasing cardiac index in patients with underlying cardiac disease.

Intravenous calcium chloride effectively improves depressed cardiac function during neurolept anaesthesia, particularly increasing cardiac index in patients with underlying cardiac disease.
Eriksen et al. (1983) studied Vascular surgery on the abdominal aorta. Calcium chloride vs. Patients without cardiac disease was evaluated on Haemodynamic effects (cardiac index, systemic vascular resistance index, mean arterial pressure). Intravenous calcium chloride (15 mg/kg) significantly increased cardiac index in patients with cardiac disease, while increasing mean arterial pressure and systemic vascular resistance in those without.
