Marked dilutional acidosis complicating management of right ventricular myocardial infarction
1Department of Medicine, Tufts University School of Medicine, New England Medical Center, Boston, MA 02111, USA.
Abstract:
Dilutional acidosis is a poorly recognized cause of metabolic acidosis. Indeed, the prevailing view has been that even massive expansion of the extracellular fluid volume with non-bicarbonate-containing solutions would not lead to clinically significant hypobicarbonatemia. We describe the development of marked dilutional acidosis as a complication of management of right ventricular myocardial infarction. The pathogenesis, clinical significance, prevention, and treatment of the entity are discussed.
