As an 18D I never carried bicarb. As a civilian ground medic, we carry it but very rarely use it. If we do it's more for an overdose. As a flight medic we carry it and use it a little more often, but even then very sparingly. We had I-stats but put them aside since our usual flight times aren't any longer than 90 min. (Yes it depends on how long the pt was down, type of injury, but we couldn't justify it where we're at.) adal
