 | | Patients with chronic lung diseases and those who receive sedatives and narcotics need to be monitored closely for development of respiratory acidosis. | | | This condition is brought about by a problem either involving the lungs and respiratory system or signals from the brain that control breathing. | | | The condition can be acute with a sudden onset, or it can develop gradually as lung function deteriorates. |

| | The decision to give bicarbonate should be based upon the pathophysiology of the specific acidosis, the clinical state of the patient, and the degree of acidosis. | | | In these conditions, therapy with bicarbonate makes physiologic sense and is prudent in patients with severe acidosis. | | | Metabolic acidosis can have deleterious effects on myocardial contractility and response to catecholamines, thereby leading to cardiac arrhythmias and worsening heart failure. |

| | Respiratory acidosis is frequently associated with neurologic changes. | | | Presumably, such patients have adapted to chronic hypercapnia so that their major respiratory stimulus is hypoxemia. | | | Other arguments against the use of alkali therapy are the potential for Na and volume overload, hypokalemia, CNS acidosis, hypercapnia, and alkalosis overshoot. |

| | However, the trend in lactate levels in a given patient can be helpful in gauging the effect of therapy and assessing prognosis. | | | Lactic acidosis is the most common and most important acidosis encountered in the ICU. | | | In sepsis, where a significant portion of cardiac output can go to respiratory muscles, intubation and muscle relaxation are often required to control hyperventilation and redirect blood flow. |

| | Possible causes include obstructive or restrictive respiratory conditions, an acute airway obstruction, bracing of the thoracic cage due to injury or pain, limitation of respiratory excursion due to extreme obesity, or conditions affecting respiratory muscles or the nerves and pathways that drive them. | | | If a person develops a respiratory acidosis, it will take some time for the kidney to compensate by making more bicarbonate. | | | Acidosis refers to a physiological process which, if unopposed, would lead to a drop in blood pH. |
