2 days ago · 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 ...
4 days ago · In the past, we focused on the concentration of hydrogen ions [H + ], carbon dioxide (CO 2) balance, and the base excess/deficit. We now understand that the strong ion difference (SID), PaCO 2 and total weak acid concentration (A TOT) best explain acid–base balance in physiological systems.
4 days ago · Respiratory acidosis ( primary hypercapnia ) is when blood becomes too acidic because your lungs are unable to remove enough carbon dioxide from your body. This potentially life-threatening condition can be caused by sudden illness, a drug overdose, or a long-term disease that affect the lungs.
4 days ago · Excess fluid volume related to excess fluid intake and sodium intake. Deficient fluid volume related to active fluid loss or failure of regulatory mechanisms. Imbalanced nutrition : less than body requirements related to inability to ingest food or absorb nutrients.
5 days ago · Arterial blood gases (ABGs) were monitored, with a particular focus on parameters that correlate with lactate levels, such as pH and base excess (BE). To maintain a mean arterial pressure (MAP) over 65 mmHg, a combination of Noradrenaline and Dobutamine was administered as needed.
3 days ago · Acids are typically sour and have pH values ranging from 0-7. A base is a substance that produces hydroxide ions (OH- ) in solution. The strength of the base depends on the concentration of hydroxide ions produced, [OH- ]. Bases are typically bitter, slippery, and have pH values ranging from 7-14. The pH of a solution can be inferred from ...
4 days ago · Excess base is added to the appropriate acid, the mixture is filtered and the filtrate evaporated to dryness. pH The pH scale is an indication of the hydrogen ion concentration and runs from below 0 to above 14.
