May 12, 2024 · The base excess value (BE, mmol/L), not standard base excess (SBE), correctly calculated including pH, pCO2 (mmHg), sO2 (%) and cHb (g/dl) is a diagnostic tool for several in vivo events, e.g., mortality after multiple trauma or shock, acidosis, bleeding, clotting, artificial ventilation. In everyday clinical practice a few microlitres of blood (arterial, mixed venous or venous) are sufficient ...
May 10, 2024 · The base excess increases in metabolic alkalosis and decreases (or becomes more negative) in metabolic acidosis, but its utility in interpreting blood gas results is controversial. Hemoglobin : Hemoglobin is the protein molecule in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the body’s tissues and returns carbon dioxide from the ...

Hemoglobin : Hemoglobin is the protein molecule in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the body’s tissues and returns carbon dioxide from the ...
May 8, 2024 · For medical use, it calculates the pH of the blood by inserting the HCO₃ (in mEq/L or mmol/L) and PaCO₂ (in mmHg or torr) values in the following formula: pH = 6.1 + log10 [ HCO₃ / (0.0308 × PaCO₂) ] The arterial blood pH calculator uses bicarbonate (HCO₃) and arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure (PaCO₂) to estimate the pH of ...
May 9, 2024 · The pH tells you if your patient is acidotic or alkalotic. Normal values for pH range from 7.35 – 7.45. It is a measurement of the acid content or hydrogen ions [H+] in the blood. Low pH indicates a higher concentration of hydrogen ions (acidosis) while a high pH indicates a lower concentration of hydrogen ions (alkalosis).
May 16, 2024 · Crackles (Rales): Treatment may involve addressing heart failure with diuretics to remove excess fluid, antibiotics for pneumonia, or corticosteroids and other medications for pulmonary fibrosis. Wheezes: In the case of asthma or COPD, bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroids are commonly used to open airways and reduce inflammation. For ...
