The effects of sodium bicarbonate (0.5 mEq/kg of body weight, 1.0 mEq/kg, 2.0 mEq/kg, and
4.0 mEq/kg) on ionized and total calcium concentrations were determined in clinically …

Objective: To compare the effect of a balanced isotonic crystalloid solution with that of 0.9%
sodium chloride on the acid–base and electrolyte status of cats with urethral obstruction …

Objective: To determine the effects of storage of arterial and venous blood samples in ice
water on blood gas and acid–base measurements. Design: Prospective, in vitro, laboratory …

Based on the results of 367 healthy dogs of different age, it could be demonstrated that the
concentration of ionized calcium corrected to the pH-value of 7.4 ([Cai (7.4)]) as well as the …

The four simple acid-base disorders (metabolic acidosis, respiratory acidosis, metabolic
alkalosis, and respiratory alkalosis) are discussed in this article. The respiratory contribution …

The objectives of this study were to investigate the determinants of the anion gap (AG) in
cattle and to evaluate the utility of AG in detecting hyperlactatemia in sick neonatal calves …

Objective To determine the normal osmole gap for 18 previously published formulae used to
estimate serum osmolality in dogs. Design Prospective study. Setting University veterinary …

A method of arterial blood sampling acceptable for clinical purposes for acid-base
estimations in dogs is described. A comparison of acid-base variables from fourteen canine …

Having shown that the acid-base balance of arterial blood can be used to monitor the health
of newborn calves, the authors have calculated the modification of van Slyke's formula (used …

Blood samples were collected simultaneously from the pulmonary artery, jugular vein,
cephalic vein, and carotid artery in awake dogs. Blood‐gas and acid‐base values were …
