Abstract

Decrease in hemoglobin oxygen saturation without change of true blood baseexcess results in an increase in calculated base-excess because of differences in acidity between oxy- and deoxyhemoglobin. We have determined the mean ± SE canine base-excess correction coefficient to be 0.43±0.01 mmol base per mmol heme, a value approximately 34% higher than the corresponding value for human hemoglobin.
