The formula to calculate Bicarb Vd for Male is:
\[ \text{Bicarb Vd} = \left(0.4 + \frac{2.6}{\text{Measured HCO3}}\right) \times \text{Lean Body Weight} \]
Where:
Bicarb Vd for Male is the volume of distribution of bicarbonate which is distributed in body tissue rather than the plasma.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ \text{Bicarb Vd} = \left(0.4 + \frac{2.6}{5}\right) \times 60 \]
Evaluating:
\[ \text{Bicarb Vd} = \left(0.4 + 0.52\right) \times 60 \]
\[ \text{Bicarb Vd} = 0.92 \times 60 \]
\[ \text{Bicarb Vd} = 55.2 \]
The Bicarb Vd is 55.2 Cubic Meter per Kilogram.
