An in vivo acid-base nomogram for clinical use

Area of Science:

• Physiology
• Clinical Chemistry

Background:

• Acid-base disorders are common and can be challenging to diagnose.
• Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

• To present a novel in vivo acid-base nomogram.
• To discuss the construction and limitations of this diagnostic tool.

Main Methods:

• Development of an in vivo acid-base nomogram.
• Evaluation of its utility in clinical scenarios.

Main Results:

• The nomogram provides a visual representation of acid-base status.
• Its application can aid in differentiating various acid-base disorders.

Conclusions:

• The in vivo acid-base nomogram is a potentially useful tool for diagnosing acid-base disorders.
• Further validation and application studies are warranted.
