OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of a single dose of sodium bicarbonate given during neonatal resuscitation at birth on the acid–base status on the first day of life. SETTING: Tertiary care Level III ...

Generally healthy older individuals with normal or high bicarbonate levels in the blood had a similar risk of dying during follow-up, but patients with low bicarbonate had a 24% increased risk ...

This review focuses on three issues facing clinicians who care for patients with diabetic ketoacidosis; all of the issues are related to acid–base disorders. The first issue is the use of the plasma ...

A low pH value is correlated with a low oxygen supply during birth, which can lead to severe brain damage. When in water, CO 2 forms bicarbonate (HCO 3 -) and is transported by specific transport ...

In patients with acidemia, hypobicarbonatemia conferred a considerable risk of kidney failure requiring renal replacement therapy after adjusting for potential confounders. Incorporating venous pH ...

Prior low-quality evidence has suggested that sodium bicarbonate may benefit critically ill patients with severe metabolic acidemia and acute kidney injury (AKI). In this randomized trial of patients ...

With antibiotic resistance on the rise, scientists are looking everywhere for better treatment approaches, even inside a box of baking soda—otherwise known as sodium bicarbonate. Bicarbonate ions, ...
