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

A randomized double-blinded comparison of phenylephrine and ephedrine infusion combinations to maintain blood pressure during spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery: the effects on fetal acid-base status and hemodynamic control.

29 Sep 2008 BACKGROUND: Phenylephrine and ephedrine are both used to maintain arterial blood pressure during spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery. Usually, either drug is given alone but several previous studies have described combining the drugs. However, ... Read more...


SAPHIR: a physiome core model of body fluid homeostasis and blood pressure regulation.

11 Sep 2008 We present the current state of the development of the SAPHIR project (a Systems Approach for PHysiological Integration of Renal, cardiac and respiratory function). The aim is to provide an open-source multi-resolution modelling environment that ... Read more...


Calcium-sensing receptor stimulates luminal K+-dependent H+ excretion in medullary thick ascending limbs of Henle's loop of mouse kidney.

30 Aug 2008 The calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) is known well as a sensor of extracellular calcium for regulating parathyroid hormone secretion. CaSR is located along all nephron segments in the kidney. While hypercalcemia strongly enhances urinary ... Read more...
