Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 7
Abstract
Maintenance of acid-base homeostasis is a vital function of the living organism. Deviations of systemic acidity in either direction can impose adverse consequences and when severe can threaten life itself. The present study was done to assess the prevalence rate of the respiratory acidosis among the admitted patients of SMBT medical college and hospital, Ghoti, Nasik.One and half year prospective prevalence study was carried out at SMBT medical college, Ghoti, Nasik. Patients were identified with a respiratory diagnosis or symptoms from the hospital by the two expert researchers. Patients were of the age group of 40 to 75 years.Age, sex, date of admission, and the first arterial blood gas tension were recorded. The date of discharge, intensive care (ICU), use and in hospital mortality were obtained retrospectively from the hospital patient administration system and the ICU computer databases in combination with note retrieval.Statistical analysiswas performed with the help of IBM SPSS statistics version 20.All patients admitted are assessed and the details were recorded. Total of 1001 patients were admitted for the complaint of COPD or asthma.
