Bicarbonate Deficit Calculator
Calculate sodium bicarbonate requirement for metabolic acidosis
Clinical Formula: $\text{Bicarbonate Deficit (mEq)} = 0.4 \times \text{Weight (kg)} \times (\text{Target } HCO_3^- - \text{Measured } HCO_3^-)$. Typically, only half of the calculated deficit is administered initially to prevent overcorrection. Enter patient parameters below.
