Detail
Sodium Bicarbonate Injection, at a concentration of 8.4%, is a sterile, preservative-free solution that contains 1 mEq of sodium bicarbonate per mL. It is specifically designed for medical use in treating conditions associated with metabolic acidosis and for urgent treatment scenarios requiring rapid pH adjustments. Each 50 mL single-dose vial ensures the precise and accurate administration of sodium bicarbonate in critical care settings.
Key Features:
- High Concentration: Contains 8.4% solution (1 mEq/mL) for efficient treatment.
- Sterile and Preservative-Free: Ensures patient safety by minimizing the risk of contamination and adverse reactions.
- Single-Dose Vial: Each 50 mL vial is intended for one-time use, reducing the risk of cross-contamination and ensuring the exact dosage.
- Clear, Colorless Solution: Easy to inspect visually for particulate matter and discoloration.
Indications:
- Metabolic Acidosis: Effective in the management of metabolic acidosis in patients with severe renal disease, uncontrolled diabetes, circulatory insufficiency due to shock or severe dehydration, extracorporeal circulation of blood, cardiac arrest, and severe primary lactic acidosis.
- Rapid pH Adjustment: Useful in situations requiring immediate correction of acid-base balance.
- Overdose Treatment: Can be employed in certain drug intoxications, including barbiturates and salicylates overdose.
Usage and Administration:
- Dosage: The dosage of Sodium Bicarbonate Injection should be individualized according to the severity of the acidosis and the patient's age, weight, and clinical condition.
- Administration: Administered intravenously under the supervision of a healthcare professional. Dosage must be calculated based on the patient's serum bicarbonate levels and overall clinical condition.
- Compatibility: Can be mixed with other IV fluids but should be done with caution to avoid precipitation and incompatibility issues.
Precautions:
- Monitor pH and Electrolytes: Regular monitoring of blood pH, electrolytes, and acid-base balance is essential during treatment to avoid overcorrection of acidosis.
- Avoid Extravasation: Care must be taken to ensure proper intravenous administration to prevent tissue damage due to extravasation.
- Contraindications: Not recommended for patients with alkalosis, hypernatremia, or in those who are hypersensitive to sodium bicarbonate.
