Abstract

This is chapter provides a detailed discussion of the clinical effects of common acid-base disorders encountered by the physician. It contains little discussion on the pathophysiology of these disorders as this is more than adequately covered in other texts. The physiological changes decribed are the unmodified changes produced by these disorders, and as such are not always observed. For this reason, the chapter on factors modifying the manifestations of acid-base disorders has preceded this chapter, and this chapter should be read in conjunction with the preceding chapter [chapter 13.2].
