A general feeling of being unwell, weakness, loss of appetite, thirst, constipation, nausea and vomiting and delirium are the range of symptoms people receiving palliative supports in the home may experience when blood calcium levels are out of balance. Hypercalcemia (elevated calcium levels) is a common emergency in palliative care. Which patients may be at risk? What can be done to help manage hypercalcemia in the home? This CHCA Palliative Care ECHO session will provide an overview of hypercalcemia, including symptoms and assessments, and invite participants to discuss approaches to treating and supporting patients and their caregivers.
