Description

Carbon dioxide (CO2) narcosis developed in chronically hypercapnic patients during hemodialysis using dialysate with a bicarbonate (HCO3−) concentration of 25-30 mEq/L. The elderly hemodialysis patients had presented with hypoventilation because of atrophy in the respiratory muscles due to malnutrition. The hypercapnic respiratory failure during hemodialysis was prevented by lowering the HCO3− concentration to 22 mEq/L. During hemodialysis, the supply of HCO3− from dialysate to the blood desensitizes respiratory chemoreceptors for pulmonary ventilation. The elevation of blood HCO3− concentration also raises PaCO2 by the reaction between HCO3− and H+. Dialysate HCO3− concentration should be modified for patients with ventilatory failure to prevent excessive CO2 retention.
