Sodium bicarbonate in 5% dextrose: can clinicians tell the difference?

CONCLUSION: When 100 mL of 8.4% sodium bicarbonate were diluted in 150 mL of D5W within a 250 mL polyolefin bag, clinicians were unable to correctly identify the contents of the bags. Our findings imply that sodium bicarbonate therapy can be successfully blinded. PMID: 32102646 [PubMed - in process]
