Introduction Shock is defined as a state of impaired cellular energy (ATP) synthesis when tissue oxygen delivery no longer satisfies tissue oxygen demand (Kleinman etal., 2012)
Shock is an independent predictor of early neonatal mortality and more often a problem in preterm infants than in term
Alterations of acid-base equilibrium are very common in critically ill patients and understanding their pathophysiology can be important to improve clinical treatment.
The human body is protected against acid-base disorders by several compensatory mechanisms that minimize pH variations in response
REVIEW OF LITERATURE The ideal prime for Cardiopulmonary Bypass (CPB) has never been fully established. The development of acid-base disorders during some routine cases and the possible contribution to this from priming fluids caused this hospital to question its protocol.

I. Introduction / Specific Aims Preeclampsia is a major cause of maternal mortality (15-20 % in developed countries) and acute and long-term morbidity for the mother and newborn. It is a multi-system disorder characterised by abnormal vascular response to placentation, associated with increased
Metabolic acidosis is frequently found in patients with shock. Traditional methods of evaluating acid-base status can underestimate and even miss complex acid-base disorders particularly in the setting of hypoalbuminemia, hypo/hypernatraemia and hypo/hyperchloraemia .An alternative approach to
The investigators feel that published results regarding 'jaundice" and "jaundice needing phototherapy' (associated with DCC) may be misleading.
First, no information is offered about how "clinical jaundice "was assessed on examination. The absence of jaundice is not an indication of the absence of
Currently, recommended resuscitation paradigms involve a "crystalloid-first" approach. This approach reserves more potent and potentially more toxic colloids for patients that have already been exposed to large amounts of crystalloid and may have also experienced a delay in correcting their
Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a rare neonatal condition affecting about 1‰ births and with a high rate of death and severe neurological disability despite significant improvement of the management of this illness in the last ten years. During the first hours and days of life, different
Patients All patients starting active end stage renal disease (ESRD) treatment at the participating centres and their satellite centres.
No. Patients: 1000.
1. Patients who have received their recent predialysis care at another centre can be included if the previous centre's notes are available,
Hyperchloremic acidosis is frequent in critically ill patients. Renal tubular acidosis (RTA) may contribute to acidemia in the state of hyperchloremic acidosis, but the prevalence of RTA has never been studied in critically ill patients. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the prevalence, type, and
Material and Methods:
A) sociodemographic variables:
Age, sex, marital status, occupation, pack\year.
B) clinical variables:
1- Dyspnea measured by the Medical Research Council (MRC) scale and the COPD Assessment Test (CAT ) while stable, previous to admittance.
3- Charlson comorbidity index and age
A total of 120 patients will be included in the study. Sixty patients are critically ill with evidence of sepsis during ICU stay (sepsis group) and sixty patients are critically ill without evidence of infectious organism (SIRS group). At admission, Patients data include clinical status; SOFA score;
