Excerpt

Base excess (BE) is the measure of nonrespiratory change of acid-base status in the body. It is calculated after correcting the blood sample's pH to 7.4, temperature to 37°C and pCO2 to 40 mmHg. Actual HCO3 level is a metabolic parameter derived directly from the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation. There is some evidence that temporary changes in pCO2 affect BE [1, 2], but little is known about the response of HCO3. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between BE and HCO3 in critically ill patients immediately after admission to the ICU. …
