5,100+ studies for 112 treatments. c19early.org
Prospective study of 182 COVID-19 pneumonia patients, 127 treated with sodium bicarbonate inhalation and nasal drops, showing significantly faster recovery and improved CT scores with treatment.
Authors note that contacts of index cases also received sodium bicarbonate treatment, with none reporting COVID-19.
Inhalation of nebulized sodium bicarbonate 8.4% (5ml every 4h) 7:00am to 23:00pm every day for 30 days together with 8.4% nasal drops 4 times daily (three drops for each nostril).
6 studies use direct respiratory tract administration1-6
Targeted administration to the respiratory tract provides treatment directly to the typical source of initial SARS-CoV-2 infection and replication, and allows for rapid onset of action, higher local drug concentration, and reduced systemic side effects (early treatment may be more beneficial).
risk of death, 56.7% lower, RR 0.43, p = 0.37, treatment 3 of 127 (2.4%), control 3 of 55 (5.5%), NNT 32.

Role of Sodium Bicarbonate as Adjuvant Treatment of Nonsevere Computed Tomography-identified COVID-19 Pneumonia: A Preliminary Report

when China reported the first cluster of cases with a novel coronavirus COVID-19, the disease has been rapidly transmitted to almost all countries worldwide. [1, 2] Owing to the absence of definitive treatment options of COVID-19, investigating alternative adjuvant treatments is appropriate until production of a specific effective medication. The suggestion that sodium bicarbonate (SB) could help to restrain coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection is based upon its anti-influenza properties and its widespread use during the "Spanish flu" pandemic of 1918. SB solution 8.4% is sterile, with a pH >8.6, nonpyrogenic, and is used for the treatment of metabolic acidosis. Bronchoalveolar lavage with SB 8.4% is inhibitory to bacteria, fungi, and tuberculosis in cultures. [3] [4] [5] SB is also a disinfectant against feline calicivirus and coxsackievirus. [6, 7] The severity of COVID-19 in adults is clinically classified into mild, moderate, severe, and critical disease according to the WHO interim guidelines published on May 2020. [8, 9] The location of care as recommended by the WHO depends on the epidemiologic scenario and should be either at a designated COVID-19 health facility, community facility, or where not possible, at home. [10] In the present study, we aimed at investigating the role of SB 8.4% as adjuvant therapy in the treatment of patients with moderate clinical stage and moderate radiological chest
