Abstract

Background: Metabolic acidosis is very common in critically ill pediatric patients, demonstrating the poor response to treatment in the pediatric population. Objectives:(1) Describe clinical and subclinical characteristics, (2) describe the results of treatment for metabolic acidosis of children treated in the Intensive Care Unit at Can Tho Children's Hospital. Materials and methods: Retrospective study on 39 children diagnosed with metabolic acidosis treated at the Intensive Care Unit at Can Tho Children's Hospital. Results: The prevalence of metabolic acidosis was 10.4%, the mean age was: 2.76±3.52. Clinical characteristics: The percentage of children with cognitive disorders, changes in breathing rate, and heart rhythm disturbances accounted for 64.1%, 69.2%, and 61,5%, respectively. Subclinical characteristics: The percentage of children with pH<7.2 was 33.3%. A decrease in blood pH was related to disorders of organs such as nervous, cardiovascular, and respiratory organs. Treatment results: The sodium bicarbonate group had an improvement in pH, the rate of children with mechanical ventilation was 84.6%, the rate of children using vasopressors accounted for 69.2%, the mortality rate accounted for 74.4%. Conclusion: The rate of metabolic acidosis is 10.4%, the decrease in pH has an effect on the change of clinical symptoms, children with pH<7.2 is 33.3%.
