Neonatal hypocalcemia: The role of ionized calcium

In this webinar, calcium metabolism is reviewed, with a focus on early and late onset of neonatal hypocalcemia – including a case report. Both calcium and ionized calcium are discussed in detail in conjunction with the role of magnesium, serum albumin, phosphate, and blood pH in the proper diagnosis of hypocalcemia.

Learning objectives

• Gain an understanding of the types, causes and treatment of neonatal hypocalcemia
• Understand the factors that can influence the concentration of ionized calcium
• Appreciate the complexity involved in the diagnosis of hypocalcemia in patients
