Why is magnesium given during a code?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Arrhythmias: Low magnesium can cause cardiac conduction disturbances and arrhythmias. Since there is no time to measure magnesium in a code situation it is often given to make sure that there is no depletion causing the cardiac problems.
