Summary Various preparations of calcium are recommended for use in treatment of cardiac arrest and advantages are claimed for one preparation over another because of increased availability of the calcium to the heart. Ionised calcium levels in human blood have been assayed following the addition of calcium increments by use of the calcium electrode. The results showed no difference between calcium chloride and calcium gluconate.
