title: [Acid-base equilibrium- -disorders and therapy].
abstract: The purpose of this work is to give a brief resume, with figures and tables, of the knowledge concerning the acid-base balance which is indispensable in intensive therapy. The effects of disturbances of the acid-base balance on organic functions are shown and, therefore, the importance of a situation-adapted therapy is particularly stressed. In this connection, the role of infusion therapy in the treatment of disturbances of the acid-base balance is especially discussed.
