Acid‐Base Disorders

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, 2014
Nutrition support practitioners should be confident in their ability to recognize and treat various metabolic and respiratory disorders encountered in daily practice. A clinician's comprehension of the underlying physiologic processes and/or exogenous causes that occur during acid‐base disorders is essential when making therapeutic decisions regarding ...

Disorders of Acid-Base Balance

Pediatric Clinics of North America, 1990
Acid-base disorders are common in sick children. This article is a practical guide to the differential diagnosis and treatment of simple and mixed acid-base disorders of children. Special attention is given to fundamentals of acid-base physiology, to clinical use of the Henderson equation, and to interpretation of readily available laboratory tests.

Respiratory Acid–Base Disorders

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 2001
Respiratory acid-base disorders, although infrequently diagnosed in veterinary medicine, can cause or contribute to adverse clinical outcomes. Recognition of the mechanisms and causes of respiratory acidosis and alkalosis can prompt clinical detection of the acid-base derangement, allowing for appropriate intervention.

Acid-Base Disorders and the Kidney

Advances in Pediatrics, 1983
In the normal human body, the extracellular fluid pH of 7.40 is closely protected. Any increase in acidity or alkalinity summons forth three lines of defense, starting immediately with the blood buffers, followed soon by the respiratory system's control of CO2, and finally purged by the renal excretion of the excess acid or base.

Simple acid-base disorders

American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy, 1985
This article reviews normal acid-base regulation, related laboratory tests, and the potential disorders if the body's ability to compensate is disrupted. Acid derived from the oxidation of proteins and through tissue metabolism must be excreted or neutralized daily by the kidneys and lungs to maintain a proper acid-base balance.

Respiratory Acid–Base Disorders

2012
The lungs serve to defend pH by altering alveolar ventilation which serves to control the pCO2 of body fluids. Respiratory acidosis develops as a result of ineffective alveolar ventilation. Respiratory alkalosis results from hypocapnia and is defined by a PaCO2 of less than 35 mmHg in the setting of alkalemia.

Acid-Base Disorders in Pediatrics

Pediatric Clinics of North America, 1976
Studies on the balance approach to normal adult and child acid-base status are introduced. The individual simple acid-base disorders are reviewed with special emphasis on the predictable nature of the physiologic compensatory response.

Electrolyte and Acid-Base Disorders

Medical Clinics of North America, 1986
An overview of the principles of the diagnosis and management of severe electrolyte and acid-base problems in the critically ill is presented, stressing a pathophysiologic approach to an understanding of the problem in the individual patient.

Acid-Base Disorders

DeckerMed Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, 2017
This review is a summary of the acid-base physiology that is essential to understanding acid-base pathophysiology. An acid is defined as a proton donor; a base is defined as a proton acceptor. The body fluids are composed of acids and bases, which are tightly regulated by our organ systems, specifically the respiratory system and kidneys.
