Ann Thorac Surg 2000; 70: CHEST, 2004;126: CHEST No.10 B. Buffering of hypercapnic acidosis with bicarbonate worsens acute lung injury. Lung protective mechanical ventilation strategies often result in "so-called" permissive hypercapnia. Because physicians associate academia with hypoperfusion and end-orgean failure and because there is concern for adverse hemodynamic effects of acidosis, some authorities recommend the use of bicarbonate therapy to keep blood ph above However, there is little to no evidence that this is beneficial. To the contrary, there is strong experimental evidence that buffering hypercapnic acidosis worsen acute lung injury in ex vivo perfused mechanically ventilated lungs and that hypercapnia per se may exert clinically important organ protection. One proposed mechanism by which hypercapnic acidosis may protect the lungs from injury is inhibition of endogenous xanthine oxidase enzyme activity and the consequent reduction in free radical generation. This mechanism has been examined in detail in lung models of ischemia/reperfusion injury. Alternative mechanisms involve ph-dependent alterations in amiloride sensitive Na-H exchange channels. These microvascular ion channels are important in regulating pulmonary fluid flux. Consistent with this hypothesis is the observation that the administration of bicarbonate raises the pulmonary capillary filtration coefficient and promotes edema formation in isolated perfused lungs. Not only is there evidence that hypercapnic acidosis may be organ protective, there is also evidence that hypocapnic alkalosis has adverse effects on neurologic and cardiovascular outcomes. Hypocapnia accentuates ischemic injury to the brain and myocardium and worsens systemic oxygenation. There is strong evidence that systemic ph regulates the rate of endogenous acid production and that buffering with bicarbonate interferes with this homeostatic mechanisms. For example, the administration of bicarbonate increases the rate of lactate production and raises blood lactate concentration. Option A is therefore incorrect. The same holds true for ketone generation in diabetic ketoacidosis; bicarbonate increases ketone formation as opposed to reducing it as stated in option C. while there are no data to refute the common practice of alkali therapy in severe cases of "permissive hypercapnia," there are equally no data to suggest clinical benefit. Therefore, answer D is incorrect. Finally, the homeostatic feedback mechanism between ph and acid production has implications for metabolic rate; academia lowers oxygen demand, alkalemia increases it. Option E is therefore incorrect. 576
