PY - 2020 T2 - Tintinalli's Emergency Medicine: A Comprehensive Study Guide, 9e AB - This chapter describes a practical approach to the clinical evaluation and treatment of acid-base disorders. We discuss the traditional approach recognizing that acid-base homeostasis is maintained by respiratory control of the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2) through changes in alveolar ventilation and control of HCO3– reabsorption and H+ excretion by the kidneys.1,2 The traditional bicarbonate-centered model continues to be the most commonly used at the bedside.3 SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/11/12 UR - accessemergencymedicine.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1166526758 ER -
