Sažetak
Arterial blood gas analysis is an essential part of diagnosing and managing animal’s oxygenation and acid–base status. The aim of this study was to establish reference intervals for acid-base values and blood gases in clinically healthy dogs of different age and sex using Stat Profile Critical Care Xpress (CCX) and to provide insight into the most appropriate approach to analyze complex acid- base abnormalities. Whole-blood arterial samples were obtained from 40 clinically healthy adult dogs of various breeds. Parameters of quantitative acid-base analysis (SIDCLIN, SIDAPP, SIDEFF, SIG) were calculated using the Stewart-Figge approach. Reference ranges were: pH 7.37 – 7.44, pCO2 22.62 – 34.52 mmHg, pO2 91.35 – 106.05 mmHg, A 106.33 – 120.12 mmHg, a/A 0.80 – 0.90 mmHg, AaDO2 -0.72 – 32.90 mmHg, HCO3- 14.06 – 22.10 mmol/L, BEecf -12. 05 – -1. 61 mmol/L, BEb -9.7 – 0.46 mmol/L, SO2 94.31 – 100%, pO2/FiO2 437.00 -507.45 mmHg, AG 5.49 – 19.67 mmol/L, ATOT 11.29 – 12.06 mmol/L, SIDCLIN 27.94 – 31.41 mmol/L, SIDAPP 26.00 – 31.60 mmol/L, SIDEFF 29.27 – 36.21 mmol/L, SIG 2.32 – 7.46 mmol/L. Reference values obtained on the CCX analyzer provide valuable baseline information for assessing new acid-base parameters and for interlaboratory comparisons. Differences compared with previously published reference values can be attributed largely to differences in methodology and sampling. Acid-base values determined in this study can be considered reference data for health control and disease diagnosis.
