Acid-Base Disorders
نویسنده
چکیده
Both an arterial blood gas and a basic metabolic panel are necessary to determine a patient’s acid-base status. Analysis of a patient’s acid-base disorder includes identification of the primary disorder, calculation of the anion gap (AG), evaluation for the presence of excess acid or base, comparison of the expected and actual compensation, and explanation of the cause of each identified acid-base disorder.

متن کاملUnderstanding Acid-Base Disorders
The accurate interpretation of laboratory tests in patients with acid-base disorders is critical for understanding pathophysiology, making a diagnosis, planning effective treatment and monitoring progress. This is an important topic particularly for junior medical staff who may encounter acidbase problems outside normal working hours when patients become acutely unwell. These clinical situation...
متن کاملDiagnosing acid-base disorders.
Diagnosis and management of acid-base disorders ranks high among the medical problems that intimidate many physicians. In practice, acid-base disorders can be approached very systematically as they can be easily diagnosed when certain rules are applied. Using a four step process including, 1) determination the serum pH, 2) calculation of the serum anion gap, 3) estimating the degree of compensa...
متن کاملDisorders of Acid-Base Balance: New Perspectives
Background: Disorders of acid-base involve the complex interplay of many organ systems including brain, lungs, kidney, and liver. Compensations for acid-base disturbances within the brain are more complete, while limitations of compensations are more apparent for most systemic disorders. However, some of the limitations on compensations are necessary to survival, in that preservation of oxygena...
