SODIUM BICARBONATE

Sodium bicarbonate; Electrolyte Supplement; Inj: 4.2% (0.5 mEq/mL), 5% (0.6 mEq/mL), 7.5% (0.9 mEq/mL), 8.4% (1 mEq/mL)
Tab: 325 mg (3.8 mEq), 650 mg (7.6 mEq); Cardiac Arrest: 1 mEq/kg IV initially; may repeat with 0.5 mEq/kg IV after 10 min (max 50 mEq/dose).
Patient must be adequately ventilated before administering sodium bicarbonate.
Chronic Renal Failure: 1-3 mEq/kg/day PO bid-qid.
Metabolic acidosis: HCO - (mEq) = 0.3 x weight in kg x base deficit (mEq/L) or HCO - (mEq) = 0.5 x weight (kg) x [24 - serum HCO - (mEq)] Urinary Alkalinization: 120-200 mEq/m2/day diluted in maintenance IV fluids of 3000 mL/m2/day to maintain urine pH in the desired range.
1 mEq = 84 mg
