Bicarbonate [Moles/volume] standard in Plasma
HCO3 std Plas-sCnc
Definition
- Concentration of bicarbonate in plasma separated anaerobically from whole blood at 38 degree Celsius and equilibrated at a pCO2 of 40 mm Hg with the blood Hb fully saturated with oxygen. It is a measure of the acid-base balance in a sample of blood after the correction of a respiratory disorder. As a result, abnormal values for standard bicarbonate reflect only the metabolic component of an acid-base disturbance. Elevation indicates metabolic alkalosis, while depression indicates metabolic acidosis.
