Area of Science:

  • Physiology and pathophysiology of calcium homeostasis.

Background:

  • Calcium is vital for numerous essential physiological functions.
  • Understanding calcium pathophysiology is crucial for anesthesiologists.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the physiology, regulation, clinical features, causes, and treatment of calcium alterations.
  • To highlight the impact of acid-base status, blood transfusion, and cardiopulmonary bypass on calcium levels.
  • To summarize calcium's role in ischemic/reperfusion injury and myocardial stunning.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on calcium homeostasis and its clinical implications.

Main Results:

  • Detailed discussion of calcium's physiological roles and regulatory mechanisms.
  • Exploration of clinical manifestations, etiologies, and therapeutic strategies for calcium dysregulation.
  • Analysis of specific factors influencing circulating calcium, including acid-base balance and medical procedures.
  • Summary of calcium's involvement in myocardial injury.

Conclusions:

  • Comprehensive understanding of calcium balance is essential for clinical practice, particularly in anesthesia.
  • Specific clinical scenarios significantly impact calcium homeostasis.
  • Calcium plays a multifaceted role in critical care and organ injury.
