  • Title: Metabolic acidosis in the acute abdomen.
    Author: Mendelow AD, Mieny CJ.
    Journal: S Afr Med J; 1975 Jan 25; 49(4):106-8. PubMed ID: 1124441.
    Abstract:
    Acid-base balance in 13 patients with acute abdominal conditions has been studied. Superior mesenteric arterial occlusion in 3 patients produced a base excess of less then-12. Other acute abdominal emergencies did not produce as profound a metabolic acidosis. The limitations of using severe metabolic acidosis as a diagnostic criterion in superior mesentric arterial occlusion are discussed.
