Treatment of metabolic alkalosis with intravenous hydrochloric acid.
1979
Severe alkalosis requires aggressive treatment. Twenty patients at the Talmadge Memorial Hospital have been treated for metabolic alkalosis by infusion of dilute hydrochloric acid through a central venous line. The treatment was effective and there were no major complications. Intravenous hydrochloric acid is preferred to other modes of therapy for refractory alkalosis, especially in the presence of hepatic or renal failure.
