abstarct background: base deficit is a non-respiratory indicator of acid base status that evaluates the severity of shock at the cellular level. base deficit results from cellular metabolism of pyruvate under anaerobic conditions. in this situation, base deficit is a sensitive marker of the magnitude of anaerobic metabolism and tissue oxygen deficit [1]. several studies have shown a strong posi...

base deficit is a non-respiratory indicator of acid base status. aim of this study is to assess relationship between the base deficit value in immediate post operative period of cabg and valvular heart disease with cardiopulmonary and in hospital outcome of patient. a total of 136 consecutive with cabg and valvular heart disease scheduled in study. 20 variables were determined during the pre-in...

BACKGROUND We sought to determine torso injury rates and sensitivities associated with fluid-positive abdominal ultrasound, metabolic acidosis (increased base deficit and lactate), and impaired pulmonary physiology (decreased spirometric volume and PaO2/FiO2). METHODS Level I trauma center prospective pilot and post-pilot study (2000-2001) of stable patients. Increased base deficit was < 0.0 ...

OBJECTIVE To assess the utility of umbilical cord venous blood gas measures for prediction of umbilical artery pH and base deficit acidemia. METHODS A retrospective cohort study was conducted of all singletons with valid paired arterial and venous cord gas samples delivered at our institution from January 2006 to March 2012. Fetal acidemia was defined primarily as cord arterial blood gas pH l...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Base deficit is considered an indicator of tissue injury, shock and resuscitation. The objective of this study was to establish an association between base deficit obtained on the admission of patients in intensive care unit (ICU) and their prognosis. METHODS A retrospective study with analysis of 110 patients admitted consecutively in the ICU, during the period of J...
