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.
