Intravenously (intravenously) is drip. Depending on the severity of acidosis apply undiluted or diluted in 0.9% solution of sodium chloride or 5% solution of dextrose.
Adults with marked acidosis IV - 50-100 ml 42 mg / ml solution, with acute acidosis - 50-100 ml 84 mg / ml solution at a rate of 50-60 cap / min.Children under 5 years: 1 mEq / kg at a concentration of 42 mg / ml (0.5 mEq / ml), if necessary, repeat after 10 minutes at a dose of 0.5 mEq / kg; the rate of administration is not more than 1 ml / kg / min.
More precisely, the dose is calculated taking into account the acid-base balance.
HC03- (mEq) = 0.3 x weight (kg) x base deficit (mEq / l) =
= 0.5 x weight (kg) x [24 - HC03- serum (mEq / L)].
Children older than 5 years - 2 - 5 mEq / kg for 4 - 8 hours.
It is necessary to control the acid-base state of the blood.
