Something of note is that this medication should be used cautiously if pt is being given a diuretic too.

[@lukemolet6890]

For the reason of over correcting into hypokalemia?

[@jeremiahragira7633]

@@lukemolet6890 For anyone wondering: hypokalemia because of the alkalotic environment created by the sodium bicarb and diuretic. Diuretics like such as thiazides and loop diuretics can lead to the excretion of hydrogen ions.

[@deannanoneyabusiness]

Thanks so much! Nearly graduating nursing school and will be frequenting your content. Bless you.

Awesome! Congrats on that Deanna and look forward to seeing you around. Lots of good stuff these days 😊

[@dboyd462]

It is worth mentioning that Bicarb administration, more so a bolus push, is more of a temporizing measure for acidosis and works (best) if the the patient has the ability to adequately compensate via the respiratory system to blow off the excess carbon dioxide that is produced. If not, the acidosis will likely worsen because of the excess carbon dioxide buildup. Using Bicarb pushes to treat acidosis as a result of DKA for example, can be dangerous.

[@zacharycarroll8607]

Can you explain this more

[@jeremiahragira7633]

@@zacharycarroll8607 Bicarbonate in our body is like a train station officer, whose job is to manage passengers, represented by excess hydrogen ions. When there are too many passengers (hydrogen ions), the officer (bicarbonate) gathers them together to form a train (carbonic acid). Almost immediately, this train (carbonic acid) separates into two different transports - a bus (water) that remains in the station (blood), and a helicopter (carbon dioxide) that flies away from the station (is exhaled from the lungs). In a healthy situation, the helicopters (carbon dioxide) can easily leave the station (body) through the helipad (lungs). This is like opening a window to let out air, reducing the crowding. However, if there's a problem with the helipad (say, a lung disease), the helicopters (carbon dioxide) can't leave efficiently. It's like the helipad is crowded or blocked. Now, here's where Le Chatelier's principle comes in. Le Chatelier's principle states that a system in equilibrium will adjust to counteract a change. In our train station analogy, if there are too many helicopters (carbon dioxide) waiting to leave from the helipad (lungs), the station (body) will try to reduce the crowding. So, instead of forming more helicopters (carbon dioxide), the trains (carbonic acid) start converting back into officers and passengers (bicarbonate and hydrogen ions). This means the station (our body) still has too many passengers (hydrogen ions), making it overcrowded (acidic). This can cause discomfort and potential health problems. To summarize, bicarbonate is like a station officer that helps manage the amount of hydrogen ions in our body. When we can't exhale properly, our body's reaction follows Le Chatelier's principle, converting carbonic acid back into bicarbonate and free hydrogen ions, which can lead to an even more acidic environment than before.

such a great lecture , what is the app used in writing in the lecture plz ?

Sodium bicarbonate has been a life saver for me because I have mitochondrial disease and my mitochondria produce excessive lacted acid and the baking soda and water clears out the excess acid...

I am hypokalemia with ckd.can i use this sodium bicarbonate?

[@user-jt5vj8yg5u]

Hello - thank you for your video info presentation. We are doing the bicarb and lemon juice hot towel wraps topically for a 10 day period - 1 hour a day. We would like your opinion or input on whether we continue past the 10 days keeping the body alkaline and making the body a hostile environment for the present cancer of prostate and bones - thanks a lot - I look forward to your viewpoint - cheers 🌸

[@ameliakennemer]

The body will not become alkaline from a towel wrap because #1. It’s not going to get in the system from the skin. And #2. The body’s pH is highly regulated. You would have some serious symptoms if you became alkaline.

[@thangalapallyanjaneyulu9992]

Good

[@davidmbeckmann]

Nice, but experts say there is no place for bicarbonate in hyper K+, unless they are acidotic.

[@lt.jackass3478]

Watching this because I work in a factory that makes bicarb and have no idea what it's for

[@RoseEmereuwa-mj5fx]

How can I get it

[@msme9790]

Still religiously watching :)

[@sharimosqueda3990]

Very helpful

[@ICUAdvantage]

Glad to hear that

[@FearlessHealer]

I've heard of bicarb usage in crush injuries. Can you elucidate us on that concept?

[@scarzu9728]

Excess K+ is produce during crush trauma injuries. The patient develops metabolic acidosis and bicarb helps buffers the acidosis.

[@FearlessHealer]

@@scarzu9728 yup - but that’s not included in the video and should maybe be added

[@benjamin3615]

@@FearlessHealer Research is showing that patients suffering from crush injuries don't have any benefit from sodium bicarb as compared to just normal saline. A lot of agencies are moving to using calcium chloride and nebulized albuterol to help combat hyperkalemia and the management of the release of potassium during release from a crush injury.

[@novrahadi8568]

Baking soda lol
