Oct 9, 2017 · The base excess indicates the amount of excess or insufficient level of bicarbonate in the system. (A negative base excess indicates a base deficit in the blood.) A negative base excess is equivalent to an acid excess. A value outside of the normal range (-2 to +2 mEq) suggests a metabolic cause for the abnormality. Calculated value.
Standard base excess is a calculated value derived from PaCO 2 and pH. It is expressed as the mmol/litre of base, above or below normal buffer bases, required to correct the pH to 7.4 at a PaCO 2 of 40 mmHg. A negative base excess or base deficit indicates an acidosis, while a positive base excess indicates a relative alkalosis.
Jan 12, 2019 · Low pH in the presence of elevated PCO2 and base deficit. Asphyxia. Hypoxia with metabolic acidosis. Base deficit (positive number) vs. Base excess (negative number) Indicates the amount of base buffer below normal used against acids. vs. amount of base buffers above normal used against acids

Excess concentration of base in the average ECF remains virtually constant during acute changes in the PCO2 and reflects only the non-respiratory component of pH ‑disturbances. When a cartridge includes sensors for both pH and PCO2, bicarbonate (HCO 3), total carbon dioxide (TCO2) and base excess (BE) are calculated. 13
Base excess and base deficit refer to. an excess or deficit, respectively, in the amount of base present in the blood. The value is usually reported as a concentration in units of mEq/L, with positive numbers indicating an excess of base and negative a deficit. A typical reference range for base excess is −2 to +2 mEq/L. [1]
Apr 3, 2023 · Cord blood gas analysis is an objective measure of the fetal metabolic condition at the time of delivery. By determining fetal acid-base status, it helps identify infants at risk for neonatal encephalopathy. Pathological acidosis reflects significant fetal distress due to hypoxic stress. As an isolated finding, it poorly predicts the risk of ...
