Q

Your patient in septic shock is undergoing massive tissue debridement for necrotizing faciitis. The patient is on norepinephrine at 30 mcg/min and vasopressin at 0.04u/hr. The starting Hct is 38% and the Lactate level is 5.0 mmol/L. ABG is 7.11/34/197 with bicarb at 17. You resuscitate with 6 liters of normal saline and give 100 mEq sodium bicarbonate as the patient is still hypotensive with a systolic BP of 75. After resuscitation, you are able to wean off the vasopressin but still require levophed at 12 mcg/min. Lactate is now 2.0. You repeat the ABG and get the following results. ph 7.24/pCO2 40/ pO2 143 HCO3 22. The most likely cause of refractory acidosis is
