The type of acid-base imbalance that tends to occur when in shock is metabolic acidosis. When the patient is in shock, the type of acid-base imbalance that is likely to occur is metabolic acidosis, which is mainly related to the abnormal pH value of the blood caused by the excessive production of acids and loss of alkaline substances in the body of the patient in shock. Metabolic acidosis can also occur due to an increase in extracellular hydrogen ions if the shocked patient is hyperkalemic. Mild metabolic acidosis is usually asymptomatic, but in severe cases, symptoms such as deep breathing, cardiac arrhythmia, nausea and vomiting may occur. Since shock itself is a more serious state, when it is accompanied by metabolic acidosis, you need to actively cooperate with your doctor to prevent systemic organ failure and life-threatening conditions. Usually, the prognosis of those with shock accompanied by metabolic acidosis is good after active rehydration therapy. After the patient’s condition is controlled and stabilized, he/she can take alkaline fruits or vegetables, such as grapes, cabbage, etc., which can help to prevent the reappearance of metabolic acidosis.
