[Analytical expression of acid-base equilibrium in human blood. I. Editing of a subroutine program].

A subroutine for evaluating the acid-base status in human blood is described. It employs as inputs seven parameters: pH-pO2-pCO2-Hb-Ht-the subject's temperature T and the plasmaprotein content PP and is based on a series of mathematical interrelationships existing between these various blood constituents. As output it returns the base excess (BE) of the whole blood and a number of pertinent data relating to the acid-base status and to the gas transport mechanisms in erythrocytes and plasma. An important advantage of this subroutine on other major procedures is that it can be accommodated into the memory space of a medium seized electronic calculator.

Acid-Base Equilibrium

[Analytical expression of acid-base equilibrium in human blood. II. Verified application of a subroutine program].

A program listing of a subroutine for conversion of seven human physiological parameters: pH-pO2-pCO2-Hb-Ht-the subject's temperature T and the plasmaprotein content PP into whole blood base excess is detailed for use with a medium seized electronic calculator coupled with a data printer. The operating instructions are also given. The subroutine is self-contained and can easily accept a correction of the empirical factors which are in animals different from human. Its use was tested in a series of 36 clinical samples of blood and the results were compared wih those obtained on the same samples with three different nomograms. No statistically significant difference was found between the four methods.
