Mannitol-induced Metabolic Alkalosis
Mannitol is an osmotic diuretic agent useful in a variety of clinical conditions. This study is based on acid-base and electrolyte changes seen after the intravenous infusion of hypertonic mannitol for the prevention of cerebral edema. The study subjects were divided into 3 groups: for group A, an amount of 300-900 mL 15% mannitol was intravenously infused over the period of 60 to 90 minutes; f...
متن کاملApproach to metabolic alkalosis.
Metabolic alkalosis is a common disorder, accounting for half of all acid-base disturbances in hospitalized patients. It is the result of an increase in bicarbonate production, a decrease in bicarbonate excretion, or a loss of hydrogen ions. Most causes of metabolic alkalosis can be divided into 4 categories: chloride depletion alkalosis, mineralocorticoid excess syndromes, apparent mineralocor...
متن کاملMetabolic alkalosis and myoclonus.
This is the first case reported of vomiting-induced metabolic alkalosis associated with myoclonus. The report describes an unusual presentation of myoclonus secondary to acid-base disturbance caused by recreational drug-induced vomiting. The severe derangement of hyponatraemia, hypokalaemia, and alkalosis appears to have been reasonably well tolerated due to the gradual onset and relatively lon...
متن کاملMetabolic alkalosis in coliform mastitis.
Values of blood gas, serum chloride, and potassium were tabulated for 21 dairy cows with coliform mastitis. Severe cases showed marked clinical signs such as loss of appetite and depression of digestive tract motility, and metabolic alkalosis such as an increase in blood pH, hypochloremia and hypokalemia compared with normal and mild cases (p < 0.01). The results showed that metabolic alkalosis...
متن کاملBaking soda induced severe metabolic alkalosis in a haemodialysis patient
Metabolic alkalosis is a rare occurence in hemodialysis population compared to metabolic acidosis unless some precipitating factors such as nasogastric suction, vomiting and alkali ingestion or infusion are present. When metabolic alkalosis develops, it may cause serious clinical consequences among them are sleep apnea, resistent hypertension, dysrhythmia and seizures. Here, we present a 54-yea...
