Changes in Ca++, Na+, K+ levels during massive blood transfusion

Changes in Ca++, Na+, K+ levels of 84 patients who recieved massive blood transfusion were examined retrospectively. Ca++ and pH fell significantly from 1.045+0.074mM/l to 0.934+0.097mM/l, from 7.46+0.075 to 7.43+0.072 respectively. Na+ and K+ were unchanged. Ca++ level had the significant correlati...

Summary:Changes in Ca++, Na+, K+ levels of 84 patients who recieved massive blood transfusion were examined retrospectively. Ca++ and pH fell significantly from 1.045+0.074mM/l to 0.934+0.097mM/l, from 7.46+0.075 to 7.43+0.072 respectively. Na+ and K+ were unchanged. Ca++ level had the significant correlation to the volume of blood transfusion. Hyperkalemia in the stored blood did not affect the serum K+ level.
