VBG vs ABG (replacement of venous blood sample instead of arterial one for an...Reza Aminnejad
This document discusses the use of venous blood gas measurements compared to arterial blood gas measurements. It finds that central venous blood gases most closely correlate with arterial measurements, while peripheral venous measurements vary more. Specifically, venous pH is typically 0.02-0.05 lower, PCO2 is typically 3-8 mmHg higher, and bicarbonate may be up to 2 mEq/L higher compared to arterial values. Venous measurements can be used for monitoring patients without arterial access, but arterial measurements are still preferred, especially for hypotensive patients. Periodic correlation of venous and arterial values is recommended when using venous measurements serially.
This patient appears to be in hemorrhagic shock from his injuries sustained in the motor vehicle crash. His thready pulse and low blood pressure indicate he has lost a significant amount of blood and is hypovolemic.

Dr. Y. Krishna presented on arterial blood gas analysis. Key points include:
- ABG analysis provides pH, PaCO2, PaO2, HCO3, SaO2 and other values to assess acid-base status and ventilation.
- Primary acid-base disorders involve changes in PaCO2 or HCO3, while secondary involve compensatory changes. Acute vs chronic compensation affects HCO3 changes.
- Anion gap is used to determine if metabolic acidosis is due to organic acids or HCO3 loss. Delta gap identifies additional hidden processes.
- Common causes of acid-base imbalances include respiratory disorders like hypoventilation; and metabolic disorders like ketoacidosis
Acid-base disorders occur when pH levels fall outside the normal range of 7.35-7.45. Precise pH regulation is vital for cellular functions and physiological processes. Buffers like bicarbonate help control hydrogen ion concentration. Disorders are classified as metabolic, affecting bicarbonate levels, or respiratory, affecting carbon dioxide levels. The kidneys and lungs work to compensate for changes and return pH to normal ranges through bicarbonate and carbon dioxide regulation. However, compensation cannot fully correct pH without also treating the underlying cause.

Chapter 21 Water, Electrolyte, and Acid-Base Balance1957Hamlet
The document provides an overview of Chapter 21 from Hole's Human Anatomy and Physiology textbook on water, electrolyte, and acid-base balance. It discusses the distribution of body fluids in intracellular and extracellular compartments, the regulation of water and electrolyte balance, and mechanisms for maintaining acid-base balance including buffer systems, respiration, and the kidneys. Key topics covered include fluid compartments, water and electrolyte intake and output, factors influencing fluid movement between compartments, and causes of acid-base imbalances like respiratory and metabolic acidosis and alkalosis.
Acids are substances that are sour, such as lemon juice and vinegar, and are known as acidic. Bases are the opposite of acids and can also be corrosive, while alkalis are bases that are soluble in water. The litmus test and pH scale are used to determine whether a substance is an acid or base and the strength of acids and bases.
The document discusses diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a life-threatening complication that occurs most often in patients with type 1 diabetes. DKA is characterized by hyperglycemia, metabolic acidosis, and ketosis. It results from a lack of insulin and excess counterregulatory hormones that cause fat and protein breakdown. This leads to ketone accumulation and high blood glucose levels. Treatment involves insulin, intravenous fluids, electrolyte replacement, and monitoring for complications like cerebral edema.
Acids release H+ ions in water and have sour tastes, while bases release OH- ions in water and feel slippery. Strong acids and bases completely ionize in water, while weak acids and bases only partially ionize. Common strong acids include sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid, while strong bases include lithium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide. When acids and bases are mixed, they neutralize each other through a reaction that produces water and a salt. Indicators change color depending on whether the solution is acidic or basic, and can be used to measure the pH of a solution.
An acid is a substance that produces hydrogen ions in water and has a pH less than 7. Strong acids, like hydrochloric acid, are completely ionized in water, while weak acids like acetic acid only partially ionize. Acids react with metals to produce salts and hydrogen gas, with carbonates to produce salts, water and carbon dioxide gas, and with bases to produce salts and water. They have sour tastes and are corrosive.
This document discusses acid-base balance and blood gases. It begins by defining key terms like acids, bases, buffers, and explaining how the body regulates pH. It then explains how to analyze an arterial blood gas reading by assessing the pH, PCO2, HCO3, and other values. Finally, it discusses how to classify and treat different acid-base imbalances like respiratory acidosis, metabolic alkalosis, and mixed disorders.
4. Renal Block-Acid Base Balance-for Medical students.pptxRajendra Dev Bhatt
Acid–Base balance (also known as pH HOMEOSTASIS ) : one of the essential functions of the body, it is concerned with the precise regulation of free (unbound) hydrogen ion concentration in body fluids.
acid base balance postgraduate 2022-2023.pptxMichaelSaif
This document discusses acid-base balance and homeostasis. It notes that acid-base balance refers to keeping the concentration of hydrogen ions constant in body fluids like blood. The normal pH of arterial plasma is 7.4, and homeostasis involves regulation of pH in extracellular fluids by various mechanisms including buffers, the respiratory system, and kidneys. Disruptions to acid-base balance can have serious physiological consequences.
This document discusses acids, bases, pH, buffers, and the regulation of pH in the body. It defines acids and bases, describes pH and how it is measured. It explains the carbonic acid-bicarbonate buffer system, which is one of the most important buffer systems in the body. It also discusses how respiratory regulation and kidney regulation help maintain pH levels through increasing or decreasing ventilation and excreting acid and bases in the urine. The kidney regulates pH through reabsorbing bicarbonate and secreting hydrogen ions into the tubule, where they react with phosphate and ammonia to generate buffers without lowering urine pH.
The document provides an overview of acid-base physiology and disorders, covering topics such as the carbonic acid buffer system, primary acid-base disorders including their causes and compensatory responses, and approaches for evaluating mixed acid-base disorders. It also reviews instrumentation and practical exercises for analyzing acid-base imbalances.
The body maintains tight regulation of arterial blood pH between 7.35-7.45 through acid-base balance mechanisms. It uses buffer systems, and respiratory and renal systems to neutralize acids and bases. The major buffer systems are bicarbonate, phosphate, and proteins, which maintain pH by donating or accepting hydrogen ions. Deviations outside the normal pH range can impair membrane and protein function and are not survivable. The lungs and kidneys work to restore pH through removing carbon dioxide and hydrogen ions respectively.
ACID BASE BALANCE AND RELATED DISORDERS(Dr.M PRIYANKA)MINDS MAHE
This document discusses acid-base balance and related disorders. It covers topics such as acids and bases, strong vs weak acids, blood buffers, and mechanisms of acid-base regulation including respiratory, renal, and buffering systems. The key points are:
- The bicarbonate-carbonic acid buffer system is the most important blood buffer, accounting for 65% of buffering capacity. It is regulated by respiration and the kidneys.

- Renal regulation is the third line of defense, maintaining acid-base balance by reabsorbing bicarbonate, ex
This document provides an overview of the pathophysiology of pH and acid-base homeostasis. It discusses:
1. The definition of pH and normal pH levels in the body. Acids donate hydrogen ions while bases accept them.
2. The two main buffer systems that help regulate pH - the bicarbonate buffer system and protein buffers. The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation describes the relationship between bicarbonate, carbonic acid and pH.
3. The mechanisms that generate and regulate acids and bases in the body, including the roles of respiration, the kidneys, and various buffer systems.
4. The classifications of acid-base disturbances including respiratory and metabolic acidosis/alk
This document discusses acid-base disorders. It begins by explaining that the human body maintains a slightly basic pH through various buffering mechanisms. It then describes the bicarbonate buffer system and how the lungs, kidneys, and buffers work to regulate pH. It discusses the causes, classifications, and clinical features of metabolic acidosis and alkalosis. Key points include how to interpret arterial blood gases, calculate anion and urine gaps, and determine compensations and mixed disorders. The document provides an in-depth overview of acid-base physiology and pathophysiology.
This document provides an overview of acid-base disorders for a seminar. It defines acid-base balance and discusses how the body maintains it through buffers, respiration, and the renal system. It also describes different acid-base imbalances including metabolic and respiratory acidosis and alkalosis. Causes, effects, and management of metabolic acidosis are explained in detail. The document aims to inform healthcare providers about acid-base physiology and pathologies.
This document discusses acid-base balance and imbalance in the human body. It covers several key topics:
1) The body tightly regulates blood pH between 7.35-7.45 through buffer systems, respiration, and renal mechanisms.
2) The three main blood buffer systems are bicarbonate, phosphate, and proteins which help neutralize acids and bases.
3) Respiration helps regulate pH by expelling more carbon dioxide during acidosis and retaining it during alkalosis.
4) The kidneys also help regulate pH through reabsorbing bicarbonate, secreting hydrogen ions, and excreting ammonium ions and titratable acids.
This document provides an overview of acid-base balance and homeostasis of blood pH. It discusses how the body regulates pH through three lines of defense: blood buffers, respiratory mechanisms, and renal mechanisms. The bicarbonate buffer system acts as the primary regulator of pH and works closely with the respiratory system to exhale out carbonic acid. When acids are added, the kidneys help regulate pH over the long-term by reabsorbing bicarbonate and excreting acids and ammonium ions. Imbalances can occur if these mechanisms fail, leading to acidosis with low pH or alkalosis with high pH. Precise regulation of blood pH is essential for enzyme activity and normal cellular functions.

This document provides an overview of acid-base balance and homeostasis of blood pH. It discusses how blood pH is tightly regulated between 7.35-7.45 through three lines of defense: 1) blood buffer systems, 2) respiratory mechanisms, and 3) renal mechanisms. The bicarbonate buffer system acts as the primary regulator of pH through neutralizing acids. Conditions where blood pH moves outside the normal range result in acidosis or alkalosis. Precise regulation of pH is essential for normal enzyme function and metabolism.
This document provides an overview of arterial blood gas analysis and acid-base balance. It discusses the importance of ABG analysis in assessing oxygenation, ventilation, and acid-base status. The key aspects of acid-base balance that are covered include the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation, buffers like bicarbonate, and the roles of the lungs, kidneys, and brain in maintaining homeostasis. Compensation in response to primary respiratory or metabolic acid-base disorders is explained through formulas for expected changes in pCO2 and bicarbonate levels.
Buffers in the body resist changes in pH and maintain it within a narrow range. The major buffer systems are bicarbonate, phosphate, and proteins. Bicarbonate buffers work by absorbing excess hydrogen ions in the blood and tissues. The kidneys and lungs work together to control bicarbonate and carbon dioxide levels to regulate pH. When an acid is added, buffers prevent a large change in pH by neutralizing the hydrogen ions.
This document discusses acid-base balance and the mechanisms that regulate blood pH homeostasis. It begins by defining pH and explaining why blood pH is tightly regulated. It then describes the various sources of acids and bases in the body from metabolic processes. The key mechanisms that regulate blood pH include buffer systems, respiratory regulation, and renal regulation. Buffers act quickly, respiration provides short-term regulation, and the kidneys provide long-term regulation. Imbalances can occur if these regulatory mechanisms fail, leading to acidosis or alkalosis conditions.
This document discusses acid-base balance and the mechanisms that regulate blood pH homeostasis. It begins by defining pH and explaining why blood pH is tightly regulated within a narrow range. It then describes the various sources of acids and bases in the body from metabolic processes. The three main mechanisms that regulate blood pH are: 1) blood buffer systems that rapidly neutralize added acids or bases, 2) respiratory control that exhales volatile acids, and 3) renal control through bicarbonate reabsorption and acid excretion over hours. Imbalances can occur if these mechanisms fail, resulting in acidosis if pH decreases below 7.35 or alkalosis if it increases above 7.45.
This document discusses acid-base disorders and homeostasis. It covers buffer systems, respiratory and renal regulation of pH, different types of acid-base disturbances, and the concept of compensation. The learning outcomes focus on understanding acid-base concepts, interpreting acid-base status from cases, and investigating patients with acid-base imbalances.
This document discusses principles of clinical transfusion practice and recent advances. It provides guidelines for use of blood products like packed red cells, platelet concentrates, fresh frozen plasma, cryoprecipitate, and discusses transfusion risks. Randomized controlled trials show restrictive transfusion strategies are at least as effective as liberal strategies, with lower mortality. Acute transfusion reactions and their management are outlined. The document also presents three clinical cases and asks what should be done in each case.
This document provides an overview of CT and MRI indications, techniques, findings, and interpretations for various brain pathologies. It discusses stroke imaging including early signs of ischemia on CT and advantages of MRI diffusion weighted imaging. It also covers trauma, infections, tumors and white matter diseases. Key points include sensitivity of imaging modalities for acute vs. chronic hemorrhage, importance of excluding hemorrhage for thrombolysis, and assessing penumbra on perfusion studies.
This document provides an overview of arterial blood gas analysis and interpretation. It begins by outlining the goals of discussing oxygenation, acid-base disorders, and a systematic approach. It then reviews the components of a blood gas report, considerations around temperature correction, and calculations for bicarbonate, base excess, and oxygenation parameters. The document emphasizes that interpretation requires a stepwise systematic approach considering both respiratory and metabolic components of acid-base status.
This document discusses fluid and electrolytes in the human body. It provides information on:
- Water content and distribution in the body
- Distribution of electrolytes like sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium between intracellular, interstitial, and intravascular fluid compartments
- Daily water requirements
- Causes, signs, and treatments of electrolyte abnormalities like hyponatremia, hypernatremia, hypokalemia, hyperkalemia, hypocalcemia, and hypercalcemia.
This document discusses antibiotic use and resistance in the ICU. It notes that 30-40% of ICU patients have or develop nosocomial infections, with antibiotics commonly used empirically, definitively, or prophylactically. While appropriate antibiotic choice and timing can reduce mortality from infection, clinical trials have not proven this due to flaws in study design. Widespread antibiotic use leads to increased resistance, seen most prominently in India with extended-spectrum beta-lactamase producing bacteria. The document advocates for more responsible antibiotic use through early culture and de-escalation of therapy once pathogens are identified, in order to curb rising antibiotic resistance in the ICU.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an important tool for evaluating brain tumors. It allows for more accurate determination of a tumor's location and extent compared to CT scans. MRI is better at depicting subtle mass effects, edema, and the relationship of the tumor to surrounding structures. Different MRI sequences provide information on tumor detection, localization, characterization and extent. T1-weighted images following contrast enhancement help localize the tumor and provide diagnostic details regarding grade, blood-brain barrier breakdown, hemorrhage and necrosis. MRI findings can provide clues to the histologic grading of cerebral gliomas.
The document discusses the historical understanding and physiological mechanisms of intracranial pressure (ICP). It notes that George Kellie in 1823 helped define the closed box concept of the skull. The key points are:
1) ICP is maintained by a balance between brain tissue, blood, and cerebrospinal fluid volumes within the fixed skull space.
2) Common causes of increased ICP include brain tumors, hemorrhages, edema from injuries or infections.
3) Monitoring devices include external ventricular drains and fiberoptic monitors, though all have advantages and disadvantages.
4) Increased ICP can cause herniation and shift brain tissues, reducing blood flow and oxygen, potentially leading to

2. For past 100 yrs, acid base has occupied a
special corner of clinical medicine
Physicians generally agree that acid base is
important, but struggle o understand the
science, pathology and application
Also need to be aware of “traditional” vs
modern physical-chemical approach
3. Why knowledge of blood gases are important…
“Long periods of boredom punctuated by moments of
utter panic.”
4. Understanding acid-base physiology:
from Henderson-Hasselbalch to Stewart….
Earliest concepts developed in the beginning of 20th
century
Arrhernius, then Henderson followed by Hasselbalch,
Bronsted Lowry
Acid (HA) is a proton donor, donates H+
Base ( A-) is a proton acceptor, accepts H+
5. •The acidity of the solution is thus a measure of the hydrogen
ion activity
•The normal concentration of H+ is in nanomole range (nmol/L)
• 1 nmol/L = 10 -6
milliequivalents/L
•Serum sodium concentration is 3 million times H+
concentration
•Becoz such figures and units may be confusing, H+
concentration expressed as pH units
•pH = negative log10 of hydrogen ion concentration in nmol/l
•The p refers to the German word ‘potenz’ (power) so pH
means 'power of hydrogen'.
pH = -log10[H+]

A doubling or a halving of
[H+] means a change in
pH by 0.3 either up or
down.
7. Acid production in the body
Volatile acids during oxidative metabolism
• Can leave solution and enter the atmosphere
(e.g. carbonic acid)
•CO2 production: 12,500 mEq of H+ equivalents/day
•Excreted by lungs
Non volatile (fixed) acids produced by daily catabolic load
•Acids that do not leave solution (e.g. sulfuric and
phosphoric acids) until eliminated by the kidney.
Organic acids
Participants in or by-products of aerobic metabolism
(eg, lactic acid)
8. Normal range of pH : 7.35- 7.45
Why maintain pH in such a narrow range ?
9. Plasma pH
• Plasma pH is maintained by homeostasis in the range
7.35 – 7.45
• pH has a widespread effect on cell function
- most cell enzymes work best at physiological pH
• An abnormal pH can result in disturbances in a wide
range of body systems
• Alteration outside these boundaries affects all
body systems but mainly nervous & cardiovascular
(coma, cardiac failure, and circulatory collapse)
10. pH balance regulated by:
1. Chemical buffer system (acts immediately)
1. Respiratory centre in brain stem (1-3
minutes)
2. Renal mechanisms (hours / days)
11. Weak vs strong acids.. Which are
better buffers?
• An acid is “strong” if it dissociates its H+ easily
• ie, corresponding base has low affinity for it
• ie, dissociation constant is high (pK low)
•“Weak” acids only partially dissociate
• Corresponding base has high affinity for it
•Acid and base pairs are present in equimolar proportions
in solution
12. Acid pair can efficiently
buffer (resist) changes in
pH after addition of base
Base pair can efficiently
buffer (resist) changes in
pH after addition of acid
Weak vs strong acids.. Which are better buffers?
•Weak acids: Acid and base pairs are present in equimolar proportions in
solution
•Most effective as buffer when pka of solution closest to physiological pH
13. Physiological buffering systems
Two general categories
1. Bicarbonate/carbonic acid ( HCO3/H2CO3)
buffering system ( ECF and within RBC)
2.Non bicarbonate buffers ( Hb, oxyHb,
organic and inorganic phosphates, plasma
proteins)
Buffers cannot eliminate H+ from the body , but
temper sudden changes in pH and buy time until
problem corrected or a new balance is reached

16.
17. Bicarbonate buffer system
• Mixture of:
- carbonic acid (H2CO3) and
- sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3)
Tremendously efficient becoz of rapid interconversion to volatile CO2
• When pH of solution rises (becomes more alkaline),
the carbonic acid dissociates releasing more H+
which
reduces pH
• When pH of a solution drops (becomes more acidic),
the bicarbonate combines with extra H+
mopping them
up which ensures that pH rises.
18. pH balance regulated by:
1. Chemical buffer system (act immediately)
2. Respiratory centre in brain stem
(1-3 minutes)
3. Renal mechanisms (hours / days)
19. Respiratory system regulation of pH

O2
• CO2 generated by cellular respiration.
• Enters RBC and converted to bicarbonate for transport

• Kidneys alter/replenish H+

]
∀↓ [H+
] plasma (alkalosis) → kidneys
excrete lots of HCO3
-
∀↑ [H+
] plasma (acidosis) → kidneys
produce new HCO3
-
22. In acid-base balance, the kidney is responsible for 2 major
activities:
1. Re-absorption of filtered bicarbonate: 4,000 to 5,000
mmol/day
2. Excretion of the fixed acids (acid anion and associated
H+): about 1 mmol/kg/day.
Both these processes involve secretion of H+ into the
lumen by the renal tubule
•Losing a bicarbonate ion is the same as gaining a
hydrogen ion;
•reabsorbing a bicarbonate ion is the same as
losing a hydrogen ion
23. The contributions of the proximal tubules to acid-base
balance are:
•firstly, reabsorption of bicarbonate which is filtered at
the glomerulus
•secondly, the production of ammonium
Daily filtered bicarbonate equals the product of the daily
glomerular filtration rate (180 l/day) and the plasma
bicarbonate concentration (24 mmol/l). This is 180 x 24 =
4320 mmols/day (or usually quoted as between 4000 to
5000 mmols/day).
About 85 to 90% of the filtered bicarbonate is
reabsorbed in the proximal tubule and the rest is
reabsorbed by the distal tubule and collecting ducts
25. Bicarbonate Handling… cont.
• BUT secreted H+
is not excreted
• Combines with HCO3
-
in lumen to form CO2
and H2O
• Therefore, filtered HCO3
-
disappears, but
you have some HCO3
-
production inside the
cell from CO2 and H2O
• Gains equal losses so we achieve balance
• Except during alkalosis, the kidneys
reabsorb all filtered HCO3
-
, preventing loss
of HCO3
-
in the urine
26. Addition of New HCO3
-
to Plasma
• What if you use up all filtered HCO3
-
in the lumen,
and you still have free, excess H+
?
– Recombine H+
with another buffer e.g. HPO4
2-
– Excreted as H2PO4
2-
– Gives net gain of HCO3
-
by plasma
• But you can also generate new HCO3
-
to increase
the pH of the plasma
• However, it would be unusual to do this because
you have lots of filtered HCO3
-
to use up first (25
x amount of non-HCO3
-
buffers)
28. Another way of making HCO3
-
…..
• Renal production and secretion of ammonium (NH4
+
)
• Urinary H+
excretion = renal addition of new HCO3
-
to
plasma
29. Renal responses to acidosis
• H+
ions secreted to reabsorb all filtered HCO3
-
• Even more H+
secreted, contributing new HCO3
-
to
plasma as these H+
ions are excreted bound to
non-HCO3
-
urinary buffers such as HPO4
2-
• Tubular glutamine metabolism and ammonium
excretion are enhanced to make more HCO3
-
(TAKES TIME!!!)
• NET RESULT: More new HCO3
-
into blood,
increasing plasma [HCO3
-
]. This compensates for
the acidosis. Urine is highly acidic (lowest pH is
4.4)
34. Traditional view
When we first study acid-base balance, it is too easy
believe that the concentrations of the hydrogen and
bicarbonate ions, [H+] and [HCO3-], are at the heart
of the problem - are dominant forces.
We do, after all, discuss them, measure them, and
treat them:
Whatever an acid or a base does, must be due to the
pH, i.e., the concentration of H+.
In addition [HCO3-] must surely determine the
metabolic state.
35. Disadvantages of the traditional view
in the critically ill
Failed to take into account contributions of
albumin in calculation of anion gap/SBE
Unsatisfactory explanations for changes in
pH with fluid (saline) administration
36. Stewart (1981): physical chemical
approach
• Concept of electrolytes as
critical factors in acid/base
balance
• Balance of SID is
maintained by the
dissociation and
reassociation of water
37. Stewart's Independent Variables:
There are three variables which are
amenable to change in-vivo:
1. partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2),
2. total weak non-volatile acids [ATOT],
3.net Strong Ion Difference [SID].
The influence of these three variables can
be predicted through six simultaneous
equations
38. Stewart's Dependent Variables:
Stewart listed a total of six ion
concentrations as dependent:
[H+], [OH-], [HCO3-], [CO3--2], [HA], [A-]
(weak acids and ions).
In-vivo and clinically, therefore, these are
not subject to independent alteration.
Their concentrations are governed by
concentrations of other ions and
molecules.
42. [SID]:
The Strong Ion Difference is the difference
between the sums of concentrations of the strong
cations and strong ions:
[SID] = [Na+] + [K+] + [Ca2+] + [MG2+] - [CL-]
– [Other Strong Anions].
43. [ATOT]:
[ATOT] is the total plasma concentration of
the weak non-volatile acids, inorganic phosphate,
serum proteins, and albumin:
[ATOT] = [PiTOT] + [PrTOT] + albumin.
44. Total CO2:
Predominantly pCO2, also H2CO3, carbonates
The effects of changes on PCO2 are well understood
and produce the expected alterations in [H+]:
CO2 + H2O <—> H2CO3 <—> HCO3- + H+
45. Metabolic (Non-Respiratory):
Metabolic disturbances, obviously, cannot be viewed as a
consequence of bicarbonate concentration because
bicarbonate is merely a dependent variable.
The two possible sources of metabolic disturbances are either
[SID] or [ATOT].
With normal protein levels, [SID] is about 40mEq/L
Any departure from this normal value is roughly equivalent to
the standard base excess (SBE), i.e., if the measured [SID]
were 45 mEq/L, the BE would be about 5 mEq/L, and a
measured [SID] of 32 mEq/L would approximate to a BE = -8
mEq/L.
46. Changing [SID]:
[SID] can be changed by two principal methods:
1) Concentration:
•Dehydration or over-hydration alters the concentration
of the strong ions and therefore increases, or decreases,
any difference.
•The body's normal state is on the alkaline side of neutral.
•Therefore, dehydration concentrates the alkalinity
(contraction alkalosis) and increases [SID];
•Overhydration dilutes this alkaline state towards neutral
(dilutional acidosis) and decreases [SID].
2) Strong Ion Changes:
If the sodium concentration is normal, alterations in the
concentration of other strong ions will affect [SID]:
47. 2) Strong Ion Changes:
If the sodium concentration is normal, alterations in the
concentration of other strong ions will affect [SID]:
a. Inorganic Acids:
The only strong ion capable of sufficient change is
chloride, Cl- (potassium, calcium and magnesium do
not change significantly). An increased Cl- concentration
causes an acidosis and a decreased [SID] causes
alkalosis.
Because the chloride ions are measured, the anion gap
will be normal.
b. Organic Acids:
By contrast, if the body accumulates one of the organic
acids, e.g., lactate, formate, keto-acids, then the
metabolic acidosis is characterized by a normal chloride
concentration and an abnormal anion gap because of the
presence of the "unmeasured" organic acid.

49. Changing [ATOT]:
The non-volatile weak acids comprise inorganic phosphate,
albumin and other plasma proteins. Making the greatest
contribution to acid-base balance are the proteins, particularly
albumin, which behave collectively as a weak acid.
Hypoproteinemia, therefore, causes a base excess and vice
versa.
Phosphate levels are normally so low that a significant fall is
impossible. However, in renal failure, high phosphate levels
contribute to the acidemia.
50. Pros and Cons:
1) Understanding:
Stewart's greatest contribution may be his focus on the
importance of the factors controlling pH.
[H+], [OH-] and [HCO3-] are merely dependent
variable.
This emphasis on the importance of the underlying
causes rightly diminishes the importance of the
bicarbonate ion.
51. 2) Shortcomings :
A major shortcoming lies in calculating a value for
[SID] which depends upon accurate measurements of
several variables.
An acceptable level of error in the underlying
measurements becomes less acceptable after
subtraction.
This is partly because the errors are summed and
partly because any error now appears proportionately
large against the resulting small value.
52. 3) Standard Base Excess Accuracy:
Standard base excess has been well validated both for
accuracy and for clinical relevance through many
years of familiarity and clinical correlation.
Albumin correction:
AG corrected=AG OBSERVED+ 2.5 (4.2-observed
albumin)
53. Clinical application facilitated by
determination of 4 variables
1. The SBE from blood gas analysis
2. The SBE effect from NaCl: ( Na- Chl-38)
3. The BE effect of albumin: 2.5(4.2-obs albumin)
4. The BE effect of unmeasured anions (UMA)
54. Which Model to Use?
• Ultimately personal preference!
– All models are simply a means of explaining
observed physical findings
– All models have inbuilt assumptions and
limitations … to varying degrees
• IF you choose to rely upon a more simple
model, this is reasonable, providing:
– The model ‘works’ for the majority of clinical
scenarios
– You are aware of the limitations of the model
– You are aware of the existence of more accurate
models, when they exist.
55. SIDS and effects of fluid administration
Critical Care 2005, 9:204-211
Stewart's quantitative physical chemical approach enables us
to understand the acid–base properties of intravenous fluids.
Lowering and raising plasma SID while clamping ATOT cause
metabolic acidosis and alkalosis, respectively.
Fluid infusion causes acid–base effects by forcing
extracellular SID and ATOT toward the SID and ATOT of
the administered fluid.
Thus, fluids with vastly differing pH can have the same acid–
base effects.
The stimulus is strongest when large volumes are
administered, as in correction of hypovolaemia, acute
normovolaemic haemodilution, and cardiopulmonary bypass.
61. Conclusion:
For most acid-base disturbances, and for the foreseeable
future, the traditional approach to acid-base balance seems
certain to prevail.
For the clinician, the three variables of greatest us are the
pH, PCO2,and standard base excess (SBE).
What might change this?
The answer would have to be published cases where clinical
management has been critically improved by using Stewart's
approach.
Such cases would have to be accumulated, evaluated, and
approved before any major switch to his approach seems
warranted.
