DESCRIPTION:
The book then proceeds to a description of the situations in which hypoxic metabolic acidosis develops, such as during high altitude exposure, cardiac arrest, and lactic acidosis. In recent years, there has been a wealth of new information on the physiological and biochemical consequences of hypoxia, or low blood levels of oxygen. Hypoxia was once thought to affect organs in a similar manner, but it is now known that each is affected differently. Traditional therapy has consisted largely of the intravenous administration of sodium bicarbonate. The author shows how hypoxia and metabolic acidosis affect the heart, lungs, blood vessels and other organs at the cellular level, the tissue level, and finally, at the level of the entire organ. The last few chapters give an overview of treatment. Newer alternative agents for managing hypoxic acidosis are reviewed as well. This new volume discusses the implications of these new findings on the pathophysiology, development, and treatment of hypoxic metabolic acidosis. The
