Why does ionized calcium need to be on ice?

Featured Replies

it is to prevent anaerobic metabolism. If left room temp, the value would be lower than expected.

    I wonder if there's different ways to analyze it. Ours aren't stat or on ice. Also, what's normal for your's? Ours we want right around 1.20, but I had a student RN who works as an LPN at a different hospital recently say their values were way different.
