• Fluid therapy- IV 1-1.5 liters or 20-40 mL/kg .
• Lower volumes of crystalloid to prevent over
dilution of blood and coagulation factors
• Pressors – Dopamine, Dobutamine , Epinephrine,
Norephinephrine, Vasopressin
• IABP
• Antibiotics
• Treatment based on cause
18. ACID BASE DISTURBANCE MANAGEMENT
Respiratory alkalosis
• Correct the underlying cause
• Reassurance or sedation, rebreathing into a closed
system (e.g., a paper bag)
• Correction of hypocapnia ( Reset the device)
Respiratory acidosis
• Treat the cause . eg Bronchodilators, Respiratory
stimulants
• Supplemental O2
• Mechanical ventilation and NIPPV
19. Metabolic alkalosis
• Treat the cause
• Use k- sparing diuretics and Acetazolamide
• Correct the deficiency (i e give chloride, water , K+)
• Expand ECF Volume with N/saline and KCl .
Metabolic acidosis
• Accurate diagnosis and treat the cause
• Oxygen administration or Intubation and
Mechanical ventilation.
