Sodium Bicarb Infusion

Does anyone have thoughts on sodium bicarb infusion in the long term care setting?  Appropriate setting?  Routine monitoring or labs?  Patient does have a PICC so that helps.  Appreciate any input.

I can act as a vesicant so make sure you get a blood return from that PICC to ensure that it is functioning properly. Also what frequency do you have to check lytes and other labs values? Check Intravenous Medications book for other monitoring and infusion info.  Lynn
