Best approach for treating metabolic alkalosis

The recognition and treatment of metabolic alkalosis in real-world clinical settings! We will discuss the four most common clinical settings in which metabolic alkalosis is encountered: Volume depletion, volume overload, iatrogenic, and post-hypercapnic alkalosis. We will also discuss the relationship between hypokalemia and metabolic alkalosis and how to treat metabolic alkalosis in each setting. We will discuss when to use 0.9 NS for fluid resuscitation, and the use of acetazolamide and potassium-sparing diuretics in fluid overload.
