Background: Previous reports highlighted the efficacy of hemofiltration utilizing isotonic sodium bicarbonate solution as replacement fluid for severe metabolic acidosis. This approach corrects metabolic acidosis by eliminating chloride and supplementing bicarbonate. Here, we present the results of an in vitro study aimed at determining the effect of Isotonic sodium bicarbonate-based Continuous HemoDiafiltration (IBB-CHDF).

Article Synopsis
- A study in Japan examined pediatric patients aged 0-19 who died from SARS-CoV-2 infection between January and September 2022, identifying 62 cases and analyzing detailed medical information from 53 of those patients.
- Of the patients with internal causes of death, 15% were infants under 1 year old, 59% had no underlying health conditions, and 88% of those eligible for vaccination had not been vaccinated.
- Key findings showed that 46% experienced out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, nonrespiratory symptoms were more prevalent than respiratory symptoms, and the primary suspected causes of death were central nervous system and cardiac abnormalities; the study emphasizes close monitoring of pediatric patients in the week following symptom onset
