Table 3. Measured and Calculated Values of Acid–Base States

Mean ± SD.

*P < 0.002 intragroup difference, with respect to the respective value before ANH.

†P < 0.002 difference between groups after ANH.

ANH = acute normovolemic hemodilution; HES = hydroxyethyl starch; Paco²= arterial carbon dioxide tension; [Bic]= standard bicarbonate; [BE]= standard base excess; [Lac⁻]= lactate; [Na⁺]= sodium; [Cl⁻]= chloride; [K⁺]= potassium; SID = strong ion difference; [Prot⁻]= weak plasma acid; [PO⁴]= phosphate; [Ca²⁺]= calcium; HA = albumin.
