2 days ago · Prognosis. Metabolic acidosis is an acid-base disturbance defined by a low pH and bicarbonate level in the bloodstream. Multiple causes of metabolic acidosis exist, including increased acid production or ingestion (e.g., aspirin toxicity), decreased acid removal from the body (e.g., advanced kidney disease ), and excess loss of bicarbonate (e.g ...
2 days ago · Base excess is defined as the amount of strong acid that must be added to each liter of fully oxygenated blood to return the pH to 7.40 at a temperature of 37°C and a pCO2 of 40 mmHg (5.3 kPa), while a base deficit (ie. a negative base excess) is defined by the amount of strong base that must be added. The formula for base deficit is as ...
5 days ago · phenolphthalein, (C 20 H 14 O 4), an organic compound of the phthalein family that is widely employed as an acid-base indicator. As an indicator of a solution’s pH, phenolphthalein is colourless below pH 8.5 and attains a pink to deep red hue above pH 9.0.
4 days ago · «Venous BE» is the arterial blood gas test «base excess» in venous blood. It is calculated on the basis of the bicarbonate (HCO₃-) content and pH of blood and describes an excess of base in the patient. If a patient with a normal blood CO₂ level has a pH higher than 7.4, the patient has a base excess (positive BE), and accordingly ...

5 days ago · Explanation: Metal Carbonate/Metal Hydrogen Carbonate: Metal carbonates are compounds that contain a metal cation (positive ion) and a carbonate ion (CO3 2- ). Metal hydrogen carbonates (also called bicarbonates) are similar but contain the bicarbonate ion (HCO3 - ).
4 days ago · During the course of the operation, serum chloride (A), base excess (B), and pH (C) were measured four times. Box plots indicate the median and interquartile range, while violin plots show the entire distribution of each parameter.
