Sodium Bicarbonate IV Shortage See Flyer Restricted Indications:

• Perfusion/Open Heart

• NICU – restrictions and conservation measures per Medical Director

• Alkalization of urine ONLY when ORAL Sodium bicarb CANNOT BE USED:

o Drug overdose: Tricyclic, salicylates, methyl alcohol, and barbiturate

o Hemolytic reactions (blood transfusion reactions/crush injuries) requiring alkalization of urine to decrease nephrotoxicity of blood pigments.

o Chemotherapy: alkalization of urine required to reduce toxicity.

• Other indications require approval from Dr J Clements, Dr M Austin, Dr B Yusuf, Dr P Kaplan, Dr D Chatoth, or Dr A Bier. Must enter the approving physician and indication in the CPOE med order comment.

Other Ordering Restrictions:

• No more partial Sodium bicarb vials. Increments of 50 mEq are only allowed (ex: 50, 100, 150 mEq/L) to avoid waste.

• Only one liter of sodium bicarb IVFs will be dispensed at a time. Nursing/pharmacy communication prior to the next bag needed. We avoid significant waste with this process.

• Pharmacists have been asked to call for clarification of any order that there may be questions about – even if an appropriate indication is documented

Alternatives to Na Bicarb IV:

• Oral Sodium Bicarbonate 650 mg tablets o Sodium Bicarb: 7 tablets (650 mg each) = 50 mEq NaHCO3 IV.

• Sodium Acetate IV can be used to replace Sodium Bicarb in IVF. o Sodium acetate 40 mEq = approximately 35 mEq of sodium

bicarb.

o Sodium acetate is on national shortage and we recommend using full 40 mEq vial (ex: 40 mEq, 80 mEq increments) to avoid waste

• Do NOT use if there is significant impairment of liver function

• Lactated Ringers, confirm the K+ level is normal, for mild acidosis.

5/2017

Sodium Phosphate IV (during shortage) If patients unable to replace via enteral route, give NaPO4 for

PO4 < 2 and K > 4.

If K < 4, use KPhosp IV

8/6/13

For patients on Electrolyte Replacement Protocol when IV

Phos replacement is necessary

• PO4 = 1.6-2.4 and K+ < 4.5: Potassium Phosphate

15 mM IVPB over 4 hours may be substituted.

• PO4 < 1.5 and K+ < 4.2: Potassium Phosphate 30
