![]() ![]() ![]() The difference is that ammonia is used for freebase, and baking soda/bicarbonate is used for crack. Simply absorbing moisture from the air wont trigger its bubbling reaction. Crack and freebase are more or less the same thing. ![]() Unlike baking powder, baking soda needs an acid to activate it. In general, sodium bicarbonate may be beneficial if the plasma bicarbonate is less than 8 mEq/L or the systemic pH is less than 7.1. Your recipes may not turn out as well, but you can still eat the results. While severe lactic acidosis can contribute to circulatory collapse, treatment with sodium bicarbonate may promote lactate production. In patients with lactic acidosis, resolution of the event responsible for the acidosis is the primary treatment. Further bicarbonate therapy depends on the patient's plasma bicarbonate level. Other possible side effects include systemic alkalosis and/or CNS acidosis. Rapid correction of the deficit can cause hypokalemic cardiotoxicity in patients who are potassium-depleted, tetany in patients with renal failure or hypocalcemia or congestive heart failure in patients with poor left ventricular function due to the excess sodium load from this medication). A gradual rise in the plasma bicarbonate concentration up to the normal range over a 12 to 24 hour period is recommended as opposed to a rapid 'correction' of the patient's entire bicarbonate deficit. ![]()
