Acid-base equilibrium is closely tied to fluid metabolism and electrolyte balance, and disturbances in one of these systems often affect another.

Use one of several formulas, rules-of-thumb, or an acid-base nomogram to determine if laboratory values are consistent with a single acid-base disorder (and ...

In order to characterise an acid-base disturbance, measures of pH, PaCO2, total CO2 or bicarbonate are required, as well as measurement of the anion gap.

24 сент. 2020 г. · The pH, obtained from arterial blood gas (ABG), should be the first value analyzed upon suspicion of an acid-base disorder.
