What are the ECG changes and how do you treat hypercalcemia ?

  #2

I think the only classic ekg finding is short QT
Treatment for acute hypercalcaemia is roughly
IV hydration NS
IV (loop diuretic) frusemide
IV Biphosphonates
If severe add calsitonin

(glucocorticoids , if the primary disorder is appropriate . mm or sarcoidosis)

Chronic
hyperparathyroidism –surgical
sarcoidosis –steroids
bone mets-radiation/chemo

totally agreed
