  2. Intravenous sodium bicarbonate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intravenous_sodium_bicarbonate

    Intravenous sodium bicarbonate, also known as sodium hydrogen carbonate, is a medication primarily used to treat severe metabolic acidosis. [2] For this purpose it is generally only used when the pH is less than 7.1 and when the underlying cause is either diarrhea , vomiting , or the kidneys . [ 3 ]

  3. Intraosseous infusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intraosseous_infusion

    Intraosseous access has roughly the same absorption rate as IV access, and allows for fluid resuscitation. For example, sodium bicarbonate can be administered IO during a cardiac arrest when IV access is unavailable. [1] High flow rates are attainable with an IO infusion, up to 125 milliliters per minute.

  4. Route of administration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Route_of_administration

    The term injection encompasses intravenous (IV), intramuscular (IM), subcutaneous (SC) and intradermal (ID) administration. [35] Parenteral administration generally acts more rapidly than topical or enteral administration, with onset of action often occurring in 15–30 seconds for IV, 10–20 minutes for IM and 15–30 minutes for SC. [36]

  5. Intravenous therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intravenous_therapy

    Intravenous therapy (abbreviated as IV therapy) is a medical technique that administers fluids, medications and nutrients directly into a person's vein.The intravenous route of administration is commonly used for rehydration or to provide nutrients for those who cannot, or will not—due to reduced mental states or otherwise—consume food or water by mouth.

  6. Diabetic ketoacidosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetic_ketoacidosis

    The administration of sodium bicarbonate solution to rapidly improve the acid levels in the blood is controversial. There is little evidence that it improves outcomes beyond standard therapy, and indeed some evidence that while it may improve the acidity of the blood, it may actually worsen acidity inside the body's cells and increase the risk ...

  7. Sodium bicarbonate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_bicarbonate

    Sodium bicarbonate (IUPAC name: sodium hydrogencarbonate [9]), commonly known as baking soda or bicarbonate of soda, is a chemical compound with the formula NaHCO 3. It is a salt composed of a sodium cation (Na +) and a bicarbonate anion (HCO 3 −). Sodium bicarbonate is a white solid that is crystalline but often appears as a

  8. Ringer's lactate solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ringer's_lactate_solution

    Generally, the source of the constituent ions is a mixture of sodium chloride (NaCl), sodium lactate (CH 3 CH(OH)CO 2 Na), calcium chloride (CaCl 2), and potassium chloride (KCl), dissolved into distilled water. Ringer's solution has the same constituents without the sodium lactate, though sometimes it may also include magnesium chloride (MgCl ...

  9. Ringer's solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ringer's_solution

    Ringer's solution typically contains sodium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium chloride and sodium bicarbonate, with the last used to buffer the pH. Other additions can include chemical fuel sources for cells, including ATP and dextrose , as well as antibiotics and antifungals.
