Indian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology. 2006 Jul-Sep; 50(3): 303-8http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/107914We introduce a pragmatic approach towards the corrected Base Excess (BE) by including the large variability of the apparent dissociation constant pK' in non-logarithmic form in Henderson-Hasselbach bicarbonate ion equilibria thereby resulting in a significant correction both in calculated bicarbonate ion concentration and BE at 37 degrees C.engAcid-Base EquilibriumAnimalsBicarbonates --analysisBlood Gas Analysis --methodsHumansReproducibility of ResultsBase excess significantly corrected for the variations in apparent dissociation constant for human blood gas testing.Journal Article
