kg slowly IV or calculated from: 0.3 × bodyweight (kg) × (desired bicarbonate – measured bicarbonate). Half of the calculated dose is given IV over 20–30 minutes and the remainder added to the intravenous fluids. The dose required varies between cases though, and should be adjusted according to response.
