Understanding acid-base disturbances.
The physiologic principles of blood pH, Pco2, and bicarbonate homeostasis provide a suitable basis for a systematic approach to the interpretation of acid-base disturbances. Pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management of the four classic acid-base disorders follows.
