sodium bicarbonate (medicine)


sodium bicarbonate
<chemical> Carbonic acid monosodium salt (CHNaO3).

A white, crystalline powder that is used as an electrolyte replenisher and systemic alkaliser. It is applied topically in solution to wash the nose, mouth, or vagina, and as a cleansing enema.

Uses: Preexisting metabolic acidosis, hyperkalemia, tricyclic or phenobarbital overdose.

Dose in mEq: 0.3 * (base deficit) * (wt in kg).

Potential complications: Metabolic alkalosis, hypercarbia, hyperosmolar state.
