As such, Darrow's solution is not recommended for administration to large animals. Compared with other isoosmotic polyionic solutions, Darrow's solution is hyponatremic, hyperkalemic, and hyperlactatemic and does not contain calcium or magnesium. Accordingly, there does not appear to be a compelling reason to prefer Carbicarb to isotonic sodium bicarbonate when rapid alkalinization of conscious animals is required.ĭarrow's solution is an isotonic polyionic solution formulated by Darrow in 1946 for use in human infants the solution has been administered to calves. Carbicarb has been administered intravenously to diarrheic calves however, these studies have failed to identify a clinically important advantage over conventional isotonic sodium bicarbonate administration. Despite numerous studies comparing Carbicarb with sodium bicarbonate, the potential clinical advantages of Carbicarb have only been demonstrated in animals being ventilated or with extremely limited ventilatory ability. 6Ĭarbicarb was suspected to decrease the incidence and magnitude of hypercapnia when rapid alkalinization was needed in animals with mixed metabolic and respiratory acidosis. In other words, when sodium bicarbonate is administered to animals that control their own ventilation, even under anesthesia, paradoxical CSF acidosis does not occur because the animal detects the increase in arterial P co 2 and reflexively increases minute volume to combat the bicarbonate-induced respiratory acidosis. An in-depth review of the studies on this topic indicates that paradoxical CSF acidosis has only been observed in anesthetized animals with controlled ventilation. Moreover, concern has been raised that rapid large-volume sodium bicarbonate administration can result in systemic alkalinization but not paradoxical CSF acidosis, which may produce adverse neurologic sequelae. However, studies in critically ill large animals have failed to identify a clinically important effect of sodium bicarbonate infusion on increasing arterial P co 2, inducing respiratory acidosis and further decreasing blood pH.
On theoretical grounds, sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO 3) should not be used to treat severe respiratory acidosis, because additional CO 2 generated may worsen the respiratory acidosis. Sodium bicarbonate is superior to sodium l-lactate and sodium acetate for the treatment of metabolic acidosis because it provides an immediate source of bicarbonate. This solution is alkalinizing because it buffers hydrogen ion, HCO 3 − + H + ↔ CO 2 + H 2O, and increases SID (effective SID = 155 mEq/L). Isotonic sodium bicarbonate (1.3% NaHCO 3 solution) is an alkalinizing isotonic crystalloid solution that is used to treat severe acidemia (indicated whenever blood pH <7.20 as a result of metabolic acidosis). Like Ringer's solution, 0.9% NaCl is mildly acidifying because effective SID = 0 mEq/L. Accordingly, the use of 0.9% NaCl should be confined to horses, the irrigation of surgical sites and wounds, or as a vehicle for adding other electrolytes and dextrose. Isotonic saline (0.9% NaCl solution) is an isotonic crystalloid solution that has little merit in the routine treatment of sick ruminants, principally because ruminants usually develop hypocalcemia and hypokalemia when inappetent. Ringer's solution is the standard intravenous fluid for adult ruminants because these ruminants tend to get alkalemic when inappetent. Addition of a fluid with a SID of 0 mEq/L to plasma (normal SID ≈ 40 mEq/L) will decrease plasma SID and therefore directly and independently decrease plasma pH because a 1 mEq/L decrease in SID decreases plasma pH by approximately 0.016. This solution is mildly acidifying because its effective SID = 0 mEq/L. Ringer's solution is a balanced polyionic nonalkalinizing isotonic crystalloid solution that contains physiologic concentrations of Na +, K +, Ca 2+, and Cl −.
