Abstract
In metabolic acidosis, where blood pH is less than 7.20, loss of respiratory centre response to lowered carbon dioxide content and increased hydrogen ion concentration may result. The use of sodium bicarbonate for management of diabetic ketosis and lactic acidosis has been controversial (Kaye 1975) in the past, but it is now the treatment of choice.
