Objective To determine the usefulness of the determination of base excess in a cohort of
elderly patients admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) with a diagnosis of chest trauma …

Antecedentes: El exceso de bases se utiliza para determinar la magnitud de la anomalía
metabólica secundaria a hemorragia o daño orgánico directo de pacientes con …

Objective: To determine the association of base deficit with mortality and other factors
affecting mortality. Design: Retrospective review. Setting: Tertiary care center. Participants …

BACKGROUND: Trauma is a leading cause of death in young people and hemorrhagic
shock is a leading mechanism of this mortality. Hypoperfusion can be difficult to diagnose …

Background: Early identification of serious injuries is especially important in elders. Base
deficit (BD) is an indicator of serious injury in trauma patients. There are limited data to …

Background Base excess (BE) represents an increase or decrease of alkali reserves in
plasma to diagnose acid-base disorders, independent of respiratory factors. Current findings …

Objective: Cardiac arrest leads to a state of mixed respiratory and metabolic acidosis. Even
after adequate ventilation and restoration of spontaneous circulation, metabolic acidosis as …

Base excess (BE) and lactate concentration may predict mortality in critically ill patients.
However, the predictive values of alactic BE (aBE; the sum of BE and lactate), or a …

Base deficit (BD) and lactic acid (LA) are accepted markers of hypoperfusion and predictors
of outcome in the trauma patient and we aim to assess the value of these markers in the …

Objective: To examine whether values of arterial base excess or lactate taken on admission
to a general intensive care unit indicate prognosis, and whether this can be used as a …
