Electrocardiographic alterations produced by a decrease in plasma pH, bicarbonate and sodium as compared with those produced by an increase in potassium.

Acute therapy for hyperkalemia with the combined regimen of bicarbonate and beta(2)-adrenergic agonist (salbutamol) in chronic renal failure patients.

This study was aimed to evaluate the efficacy of combination therapy of bicarbonate and salbutamol for hyperkalemia in 9 hemodialysis patients. Simultaneous administration of 8.4% sodium bicarbonate (i.v., 2 mEq/kg) for 1/2 hour and salbutamol (15 mg) in nebulized form for 10 min was compared with treatment modality of either bicarbonate or salbutamol alone. Infusion of sodium bicarbonate induc...

Investigation of the effect of electrolyte on acoustical behaviour of ceramic coatings produced by method Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation (PEO) on titanium

In this paper, titanium oxide coating (TiO2) was produced on titanium alloy Ti6Al4V by Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation (PEO) Method. Sodium Silicate (Na2SiO3) and Sodium Aluminate (NaAlO2) based electrolytes were selected in PEO process. The effects of concentration of Sodium Aluminate (0, 2.5, 5, 7.5, and 10 g/L) on the microstructure and acoustical behaviour of the formed coatings were studied....

Reversal of Electrocardiographic Sodium Channel Blockade Changes with Bicarbonate Therapy in a Pediatric Patient Post-Cardiopulmonary Arrest Secondary to Methadone Toxicity

Severe acidosis and hyperpotassemia treated with sodium bicarbonate infusion.

H YPERPOTASSEMIA is a serious and often fatal complication of advaniced reiial insufficiency. Its principal lethal action is its depressant effect on the myo(.ardiuin.1 2 In uremia, hyperpotassemia is frequently accompanied by acidosis, hyponatreniia, hypoealeemia, alterations in body water, and changes in cellular imetabolism.3 Correction of these associated electrolyte abn orinalities is ofte...

Study of cation imbalance in patients of malaria

Introduction: During its life cycle, malaria parasite has to traverse successfully through widely diverse environmental milieu of mosquito mid gut, RBC cytosol and human circulatory system where it is exposed to dramatic changes of extracellular milieu in terms of pH, osmolarity and ionic constituents. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the possible changes in the cations (Na+, K+,...
