Calcium Chloride for Cardiac arrest
Adult dosing has a median of 1000 mg across 25 published protocols, with the middle half between 1000 and 1000.
Includes 1 agency outside the US.
Doses far off from what other protocols give are likely misreads, so they are left out until checked. How that works.
