You've probably heard that Bicarbonate has to turn into CO2 to raise the pH.
“Don’t give bicarb if you can’t increase ventilation.” But why?!
How much CO2 is there in an amp of sodium bicarbonate? Hos much does it raise pH? And how long does it last?
A 🧵 all about our ICU frenemy NaHCO3

How satisfying is the workup and management of Hypercalcemia!!?
62 YO F who presented with abdominal pain, and decreased PO intake, was found to have liver cirrhosis with a small amount of ascites. Neph consulted for HRS,,, but noted high Ca, driving polyuria... Workup showed an elevated 1:25 Vit D.
