Hypocalcemia is fancy words for low calcium in the blood, or low blood serum calcium. Normal calcium levels range from 8.4 - 10.5 mEq/dL according to the NCLEX (NCSBN boards). Calcium is an electrolyte that helps keep the 3 B’s strong: bones, blood (with clotting factors) and beats (heart beats), therefore electrolyte imbalances like hypocalcemia lead to the unique signs and symptoms of
Diarrhea
Trousseau
Chvostek's sign

This video is part of a 12 video fluid and electrolytes series to help registered nurse RN students and LPN students with electrolyte imbalance memorization tricks. In this video Michael Linares, RN from Simple Nursing helps pinpoint the exact causes and treatments for hypocalcemia, which is expected to know for the NCLEX, HESI, ATI, and Kaplan proctor exams.
