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
