Pro Argument

Trial 1

Trial 2

Trial 3

Con Argument

Trial 1

21 patients underwent RCT

  • 10 patients (PH 6.9-7.14)received NaHco3
  • 11 patients in the control group

Results: No differences in Glucose level, bicarb level nor PH [1]

Trial 2

Prospective, Randomized, Blinded and cross over study included 14 patients

  • HCO3 level <17
  • Received Sodium Bicarbonate 2mmol/kg over 15 minutes

Results: Decreased Ionized Calcium, increased Paco2 Sodium Bicarbonate didn't improve hemodynamics[2]

Trial 3
