Bicarbonate deficit: The amount of bicarbonate req'd to correct a metabolic acidosis can be estimated from the following formula: Volume of distribution (Vd) = Total body weight (kg) x [0.4 + (2.4/[HCO3-]) (Deficit) mEq of NaHCO3 = Vd x target change in [HCO3-]
Definition - What does Removable Media mean? Removable media are data storage devices capable of computer system removal without powering off the system. Removable media devices are used for backup, storage or transportation of data. Examples of removable media include Universal Serial Bus (USB) drives, CDs, DVDs, diskettes and Blu-ray Disc.
Secondary Storage. The disk drives in the computer are the most common form of secondary storage. The disk drive is nonvolatile and retains the information written to it after the power is turned off to the computer. Because it is a mechanical device, the disk drive is much slower than primary storage devices. All nonvolatile storage devices fall into the secondary storage class, including optical and tape drives.
