Management of Clinical Problems by Physician-Computer Dialogue

A computer program designed to help physicians manage patients with electrolyte and acid—base disorders produces an evaluation note that resembles a remotely located consultant’s discussion of the problem presented.

There is a need for improved methods of recording the findings of physical examinations to permit the adequate utilization of these data in both patient management and clinical research.

It is argued that a textbook of medicine should be an authoritative, discriminating, precise and concise presentation of what is currently known about the diseases within its field of coverage, and an extended lexicon with all the authority of a long-established work.

It has been demonstrated that the electrocardiographic tracings as recorded from patients can be reproduced from the resulting numerical print-outs in their original and undistorted form.

The progress of analog and digital modes of electrocardiographic processing are reviewed to make it more practical and more valuable for the diagnosis and treatment of heart disease.

Acid-base response to chronic hypercapnia in man.

The whole-body defense of arterial-blood pH appears equally effective over the range of carbon dioxide tensions observed in this study, and significance bands may be used to separate mixed acid-base disorders in patients with chronic hypercapnia.

Observations on carbon dioxide tension during recovery from metabolic acidosis.

The results show the frequent occurrence of normal or even alkaline blood pH values associated with reduced pCO2 values during the recovery phase, and imply that some degree of hyperventilation persists in the absence of a measurable chemical stimulus in the blood.

The effects of chronic hypoxemia on electrolyte and acid-base equilibrium: an examination of normocapneic hypoxemia and of the influence of hypoxemia on the adaptation to chronic hypercapnia.

It thus appears that the chronic"carbon dioxide response curve" is not significantly influenced by moderately severe hypoxemia.

Acid-base balance. Common sense approach.

It is argued that in order to evaluate an acid-base disorder by either the Astrup system or the traditional approach, one must be familiar with the compensatory changes which occur as the result of a given primary disturbance.
