Formulas for calculation of Acid-Base parameters

Bicarbonate actual

HCO 3 A = pCO 2 10( pH 7 ,622 )

Standard-Bicarbonate

HCO 3S = 10 10( pH 7, 26 + 0,006 pCO 2)

Base-Excess

BE = (pH - 7,4) (1,63 HB + 9,5) + (HCO3A - 24) (1 - 0,0143 HB)

Standard Base-Excess

SBE = ( pH 7,4) (1,63 6 + 9,5) + ( HCO 3 A 24) (1 0,0143 6)

Total CO2

TCO 2 = HCO 3 A + 0,025 pCO 2

Buffer Base

PB = 41,7 + 0,42 HB + BE
