Here is something I learned from Matt and Nick:

-Calcium gluconate is more stable than calcium chloride in TPNs.

-One way to decrease risk of precipitation of calcium and phosphorus is to increase the amount of amino acids in the TPN.

-Calcium chloride is usually given via central vein because it is alot more concentrated than calcium gluconate and is therefore more irritating to the veins.
