Evaluation of quantitative acid-base balance and determination of unidentified anions in swine
1994
Frischmeryer, K.J. | Moon, P.F.
Arterial blood samples were collected from 19 anesthetized pigs before and after hemorrhage was induced. Blood gas tensions and concentrations of sodium, potassium, chloride, lactate, and total protein were measured. Results indicated that hydrogen ion (H+) concentration calculated from a specific formula was a biased and imprecise estimate of measured H+ concentration. The bias was 5.45 nEq/L, with limits of agreement from -7.92 to 18.83 nEq/L. Because albumin is the fraction of plasma protein most important in acid-base balance, the agreement between predicted and measured H+ concentration was reevaluated, using an albumin charge estimate and a reference swine albumin-to-globulin ratio. This improved the ability of the formula to predict H+ concentration; the bias decreased to 1.33 nEq/L with limits of agreement from -12.16 to 9.49 nEq/L. The formula and a simplified approach for clinical application were biased and unacceptably imprecise estimators of lactate (L-) concentration. The formula approach underestimated L- concentration by 2.8 (-12.4, 6.7) mEq/L, whereas the simplified method overestimated L- concentration by 5.0 (-3.8, 13.9) mEq/L.
