title: A nomogram for the interpretation of acid-base data.
abstract: A diagnostic nomogram based on log pCO2 and log cHCO3- as coordinates is presented. The significance areas for compensated acid-base disorders are indicated. The nomogram facilitates the recognition of mixed acid-base disorders. The graph is being used for on-line plotting.
