Yeahhhh, it's '''bicarbonate''', baby! Or call it by it's sexier nickname: '''bicarb'''. Hey, '''bicarb''', how ''you'' doin'? [[Sodium Bicarbonate|'''Bicarbonate''']] is the stuff of miracles. Sure, it's a level you check that's part of the chemistry panel, but where it counts is that it's the stuff you can give in a Code Blue. Forget CPR, compressions, epinephrine, defibrillation... You know what really rescues these people? '''Bicarbonate'''. It works in any scenario: [[metabolic acidosis]], [[hyperkalemia]], [[constipation]], broken femur, you name it. When in doubt, push some '''bicarb'''. It is always the way to go. | Yeahhhh, it's '''bicarbonate''', baby! Or call it by it's sexier nickname: '''bicarb'''. Hey, '''bicarb''', how ''you'' doin'?
