usually refers to sodium bicarbonate (as in 'bicarbonate of soda' or 'baking soda'). In the body it is one of the most important extracellular buffers, and the bicarbonate level is an indirect measure of the acidity of the blood. The normal range for serum bicarbonate is 22-30 mmol.L-1.
An injectable form of sodium bicarbonate is also given by healthcare practitioners to help improve the acid-base balance of the body when it becomes too acidic, which happens in severe cases of diabetes, shock, kidney failure, dehydration, and a condition known as lactic acidosis.
