so, outside of crash carts, we're down to <20 50mEq amps of bicarb.
Apparently there was a TCA overdose over the weekend.
We've been converting bicarb gtt's to sodium acetate on a mEq:mEq basis for other patients.
Any experience using acetate pushes in place of bicarb?
There's also the hypertonic saline +/- hyperventilation idea.
