Clinical assessment of acid-base balance in Netherland Dwarf rabbit

An assessment of acid-base balance.

An assessment of the acid-base state of blood and, by inference, that of the body, is important in recognizing the effects of many disorders of respiratory, cardiovascular and metabolic function, in assessing their severity and in determining any necessary therapy. In making an assessment many students may now become confused for two reasons. First, the introduction of the S.I. system of units ...

Medical Acid-base Balance

an increase in the number of poisonings occurring in the province or from an increase in the number of enquiries with no change in the number of poisonings. (ii) there was an increase in 1976 in the number of prescriptions dispensed and therefore an increase in the number of drugs consumed. (iii) the increase in enquiries about poisoning in children, if it reflects an increase in actual poisoni...

Acid-base Balance in Sweat

The reaction, the osmotic pressure, and the volume relationships of the body fluids are closely dependent on the properly regulated acid-base equilibrium. We have attempted to work out some of the regulatory mechanisms for the preservat.ion of acidbase equilibrium during the process of heavy sweating in ways analogous to those employed in the many similar studies of blood and urine. The changes...

Disorders of Acid-base Balance

Maintenance of acid-base homeostasis is a vital function of the living organism. Deviations of systemic acidity in either direction can impose adverse consequences and when severe can threaten life itself. Acid-base disorders frequently are encountered in the outpatient and especially in the inpatient setting. Effective management of acid-base disturbances, commonly a challenging task, rests wi...
