Acid-Base Equilibrium
Research News and Information

Definition of 'Acid-Base Equilibrium'

The balance between acids and bases in the BODY FLUIDS. The pH (HYDROGEN-ION CONCENTRATION) of the arterial BLOOD provides an index for the total body acid-base balance.

Common names: Acid-Base Equilibrium; Acid Base Equilibrium; Equilibrium, Acid-Base; Acid-Base Balance; Acid Base Balance; Balance, Acid-Base; Anion Gap; Anion Gaps; Gap, Anion; Gaps, Anion

Isoflurane preconditioning ameliorates endotoxin-induced acute lung injury and mortality in rats.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: The effects of isoflurane pretreatment on pulmonary proinflammatory cytokines and survival in severe endotoxin-induced acute lung injury (ALI) have not been studied systemically. We investigated the effect of preadministration of ... Read more...


Metabolic acidosis in patients with severe sepsis and septic shock: a longitudinal quantitative study.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: To describe the composition of metabolic acidosis in patients with severe sepsis and septic shock at intensive care unit admission and throughout the first 5 days of intensive care unit stay. DESIGN: Prospective, observational study. ... Read more...


The reproducibility of Stewart parameters for acid-base diagnosis using two central laboratory analyzers.

25 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Acid-base derangements can be interpreted using the Stewart-Fencl approach, which includes calculation of the apparent strong ion difference (SID(app)), the effective SID (SID(eff)), and the strong ion gap (SIG). These calculations ... Read more...
