What are the uses of this product?

Sodium Bicarbonate Injection is indicated in the treatment of metabolic acidosis which may occur in severe renal disease, uncontrolled diabetes, circulatory insufficiency due to shock or severe dehydration, extracorporeal circulation of blood, cardiac arrest and severe primary lactic acidosis. Sodium bicarbonate is further indicated in the treatment of certain drug intoxications, including barbiturates (where dissociation of the barbiturate-protein complex is desired), in poisoning by salicylates or methyl alcohol and in hemolytic reactions requiring alkalinization of the urine to diminish  nephrotoxicity  of  hemoglobin and  its  breakdown products.  Sodium bicarbonate  also  is  indicated  in  severe  diarrhea  which  is  often  accompanied  by  a  significant  loss  of  bicarbonate. Treatment of  metabolic  acidosis  should,  if  possible,  be  superimposed  on measures  designed  to  control  the  basic  cause  of  the  acidosis  -  e.g., insulin in uncomplicated diabetes, blood volume  restoration in  shock. But since  an appreciable  time  interval  may elapse  before  all  of  the  ancillary effects  are  brought  about,  bicarbonate  therapy  is  indicated  to  minimize  risks  inherent  to  the  acidosis  itself. Vigorous  bicarbonate  therapy  is  required  in  any  form  of  metabolic  acidosis  where  a  rapid  increase  in  plasma total  CO2  content is  crucial  -  e.g., cardiac  arrest, circulatory insufficiency due  to  shock or  severe  dehydration,  and  in  severe  primary  lactic  acidosis  or  severe  diabetic  acidosis.
