bicarbonate infusion

Bicarbonate infusion involves administering a solution containing sodium bicarbonate into the bloodstream to help correct an imbalance in body pH levels, specifically acidosis where the blood becomes too acidic. This treatment is often used in medical situations such as severe kidney failure, certain drug overdoses, or metabolic disturbances. By providing bicarbonate, it neutralizes excess acid in the blood, restoring a more normal pH, which is vital for proper cellular function and overall health. It’s typically given under medical supervision, with doses carefully adjusted based on the patient’s condition.
