Resumen
La hipocalcemia inducida por traumatismos empeora los resultados en pacientes con lesiones graves. Esta revisión examina la suplementación con calcio
Área de la Ciencia:
- Medicina de Traumatismos
- Cuidados Intensivos
- Medicina Militar
Sus antecedentes:
- La hipocalcemia se asocia con un aumento de la mortalidad en pacientes con traumatismos.
- La hipocalcemia inducida por traumatismos exacerba la tríada letal (coagulopatía, acidosis, hipotermia) y altera la función cardiovascular.
- Los protocolos de Atención de Combatientes Tácticos (TCCC) abordan la hemorragia y el shock, incluidos los productos sanguíneos y el calcio para prevenir la toxicidad del citrato.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Revisar la evidencia de la suplementación con calcio en la atención de traumatismos militares.
- Evaluar los beneficios y riesgos de la administración universal de calcio, incluso sin productos sanguíneos.
Principales métodos:
- Revisión de la literatura de estudios sobre calcio, traumatismos y medicina militar.
- Análisis de la evidencia sobre el papel del calcio en la coagulación y la estabilidad hemodinámica.
- Examen de los riesgos y desafíos potenciales asociados con el uso de calcio en entornos de combate.
Principales resultados:
- El calcio es crucial para la coagulación y la estabilidad hemodinámica.
- La hipocalcemia se correlaciona significativamente con una mayor mortalidad en poblaciones con traumatismos.
- Existe un debate sobre la suplementación universal con calcio, especialmente cuando no se dispone de productos sanguíneos.
Conclusiones:
- El calcio juega un papel vital en el manejo de la hipocalcemia inducida por traumatismos y su impacto en la tríada letal.
- Se necesita más evidencia para establecer protocolos óptimos de administración de calcio en la atención de traumatismos militares.
- Equilibrar los beneficios frente a los riesgos es esencial para guiar el uso de calcio en la medicina de campo de batalla.

Skeleton and Calcium Homeostasis
5.7K
Calcium is not only the most abundant mineral in bone but also the most abundant mineral in the human body. Calcium ions are needed for bone mineralization, tooth health, heart rate regulation and strength of contraction, blood coagulation, the contraction of smooth and skeletal muscle cells, and the regulation of nerve impulse conduction. The average calcium level in the blood is about 10 mg/dL. When the body cannot maintain this level, a person will experience hypo or hypercalcemia.

Hormones and Bone Tissue
3.6K
The endocrine system produces and secretes hormones, which interact with the skeletal system. These hormones control bone growth, maintain bone once it is formed, and remodel it.
Hormones That Influence Osteoblasts and/or Maintain the Matrix
Several hormones are necessary for controlling bone growth and maintaining the bone matrix. The pituitary gland secretes growth hormone (GH), which, as its name implies, controls bone growth. This happens in several ways: first, it triggers chondrocyte...

Feedback Regulation of Calcium Concentration
3.9K
Calcium is an essential signaling molecule required for various cellular functions. Calcium pumps and ion channels on cell and organellar membranes, such as those on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), regulate calcium concentrations inside the cell. They remain closed, keeping the cytosolic calcium levels low at a resting state.
Various transmembrane receptors, such as G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), elicit a response to extracellular signals by increasing cytosolic calcium. Activated GPCRs...

Role of Vitamins in Maintaining Bone Health
4.9K
The growth and maintenance of bone are regulated by a combination of nutritional factors, including vitamins, such as vitamin A, B12, C, D, and K.
Vitamin A
Vitamin A is involved in the process of bone remodeling. Retinoic acid, the active metabolite of Vitamin A, has nuclear receptors in osteoblasts and osteoclasts, which are involved in bone remodeling.
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 acts as a cofactor during the formation of osteoblast-related proteins, such as osteocalcin. Vitamin B12 plays a role...

Pharmacologic intervention is crucial in treating cardiac arrest patients during ACLS or Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support. The ACLS algorithms guide the administration of specific drugs based on the patient's cardiac arrest rhythm, which includes pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VT), ventricular fibrillation (VF), asystole, and pulseless electrical activity (PEA).EpinephrineIndication: Epinephrine is the first-line drug for all cardiac arrest rhythms.Mechanism of Action: Epinephrine...
