RESUMO

PURPOSE: Although both the Henderson-Hasselbalch method and the Stewart approach can be used to analyze acid-base disturbances and metabolic and respiratory compensation mechanisms, the latter may be superior in detecting subtle metabolic changes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We analyzed acid-base disturbances using both approaches in six healthy male volunteers practicing extreme voluntary hyperventilation. Arterial blood gas parameters were obtained during a breathing exercise consisting of approximately 30 cycles of powerful hyperventilation followed by breath retention for approximately 2 min. RESULTS: Hyperventilation increased pH from 7.39 ± 0.01 at baseline to 7.74 ± 0.06, PaCO2 decreased from 34.1 ± 1.1 to 12.6 ± 0.7 mmHg, PaO2 increased from 116 ± 4.6 to 156 ± 4.3 mmHg. Baseline apparent strong ion difference was 42.3 ± 0.5 mEq/L, which decreased to 37.1 ± 0.7 mEq/L following hyperventilation. The strong ion gap significantly decreased following hyperventilation, with baseline levels of 10.0 ± 0.9 dropping to 6.4 ± 1.1 mEq/L. CONCLUSIONS: Henderson-Hasselbalch analysis indicated a profound and purely respiratory alkalosis with no metabolic compensation following extreme hyperventilation. The Stewart approach revealed metabolic compensation occurring within minutes. These results challenge the long-held axiom that metabolic compensation of acute respiratory acid-base changes is a slow process.

RESUMO

The treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis is either conservative or surgical decompression. Recently, an interspinous decompression device (X-Stop) has been developed as an alternative. Patients treated with an X-Stop between 2003 and 2006 are subject of this study. The SF-36 Health Survey and Zürich Questionnaires are used. The data of pre- and post-operative self-rated questionnaires are collected and analysed by independent investigators. The data were statistically analysed. A good outcome was defined when the mean score at the ZQ for satisfaction was at maximal 2.0, and the mean improvement of the severity score was at least 0.5, and also for vitality score. For relations between outcome and gender, smoking, BMI, orthopaedic co-morbidity, number of implanted X-Stops were sought. The change in SF-36 scales was related to the outcome. Sixty-five patients did undergo implantation of an X-Stop. The mean age was 64.4 +/- 10.0 years (range: 37.0-85.0 years). 31.1% Of the patients had a good outcome. A good outcome was not related to smoking, BMI, number of implanted X-Stops. However, a good outcome was related to the absence of orthopaedic co-morbidity or male gender. Patients with a good outcome had significantly a better improvement of the scales of the SF-36 concerning physical pain or impairment. The X-Stop does improve the clinical situation. However, a good outcome is achieved less often than previously reported. Probable explanations are discussed.
