Objective—To determine values for the total concentration of nonvolatile weak acids (A tot)
and effective dissociation constant of nonvolatile weak acids (K a) in plasma of cats. Sample …

Acid‐base abnormalities frequently are present in sick dogs. The mechanism for an acid‐
base disturbance can be determined with the simplified strong ion approach, which requires …

Objective—To calculate values for the total concentration of nonvolatile weak acids (A tot)
and the effective dissociation constant for nonvolatile weak acids (K a) of bovine plasma and …

The quantitative mechanistic acid-base approach to clinical assessment of acid-base status
requires species-specific values for [A] tot (the total concentration of nonvolatile buffers in …

Acid‐base abnormalities are frequently present in sick calves. The mechanism for an acid‐
base disturbance can be characterized using the strong ion approach, which requires …

Stewart used physicochemical principles of aqueous solutions to develop an understanding
of variables that control hydrogen ion concentration (H+) in body fluids. He proposed that H+ …

Objective To compare the traditional (HH) and quantitative approaches used for the
evaluation of the acid–base balance in hypoalbuminemic dogs. Design Prospective …

The traditional approach for clinically assessing acid‐base status uses the Henderson‐
Hasselbalch equation to categorize 4 primary acid‐base disturbances: respiratory acidosis …
