Term

Sodium Thiosulfate

 

Class

Definition

Class

 

Crystalline compound

Term

Sodium Thiosulfate

 

MOA

Definition

Sodium Thiosulfate

MOA

Provides SULFUR needed to accelerate conversion of Cyanide--THIOCYANATE (less toxic)

Enhances RHODANESE enzyme which takes Sulfate from the Na+ thiosulfate and transfers it to Cyanide to make THIOCYANATE (excreted via Kindeys)

Term

Term

Sodium Bicarbonate (NaHCO3):

 

Class:

Definition

Sodium Bicarbonate (NaHCO3):

 Class:

 

*Alkalizing agent

*Electrolyte replacement

 

Term

Sodium Bicarbonate (NaHCO3)

 

MOA

Definition

NaHCO3

MOA

Dissociates into Na+ and Bicarbonate ions w/ increased H+ ions (acidosis), bicarbonate ions combine w/ H+ to make CARBONIC ACID

Carbonic acid dissociates to CO2 & H2O--excreted by lungs

Term

Sodium Bicarbonate (NaHCO3)

 

Indications

Definition

Sodium Bicarbonate (NaHCO3)

Indications

PEA

*Asystole

*Renal dialysis code

*ACLS: HyperK+

*DKA

*Tricyclic antidepressant or ASA OD

*Cocaine OD

*Diphenhydramine OD

*Na+ channel blocker toxicity

 

Term

Sodium Bicarbonate NaHCO3

 

Contraindications

Definition

NaHCO3

 

Contraindications

Metabolic / Respiratory alkalosis

Hypocalcemia

Term

Sodium Bicarbonate NaHCO3

 

Standard Prep

 

Dosage / Rout

Definition

Sodium Bicarbonate NaHCO3

Standard Prep

50 mEq / 50 ml

 

Dosage / Route

PEA & Asystole: 1 mEq / kg IV

Renal code: 1 mEq / kg IV repeated x 1 prn

Pals: 1 mEq / kg

Term

Sodium Bicarb

 

Adverse Effects

Definition

NaHCO3

Adverse Effects:

 *Alkalosis--Causes Oxyhemaglobin dissociation curve to shift LEFT (O2 attaches to hemoglobin more readily. Decreases tissue perfusion)

*Peridoxical ACIDOSIS!

*If Carbonic acid passes blood-brain barrier and THEN dissociates to H2O & CO2, which can’t cross barrier, ions are trapped--CNS depression.

Term

Sodium Bicarbonate

 

Precautions

Definition

NaHCO3

Precautions:

 

*Catacholemines deactivated in alkaline environments

*Can cause HYPERNATREMIA

*Precipitates in presence of Ca+ chloride

*Produces CO2…must have adequate ventilation!
