Software for acid-base status disorders management

摘要

Normal acid-base status represents the value of hydrogen ions in extracellular fluid is within pH range of 7.36 (44 nmol/L) and 7.44 (36 nmol/L). Acid-base balance disorders may be a result of enhancement or reduction in amount of hydrogen ions, and include four basic disorders: metabolic and respiratory acidosis, metabolic and respiratory alkalosis. First step implies diagnosing the type of acid-base status disorder. The application input consists of blood analysis data and body weight info. Next step is determining the significance of the disorder and finally recommending future treatment. Software offers the optional functionality of entering mineral level values to improve treatment recommendations. Following the latest trends, along with the aim of increasing availability and mobility of the system, the software is developed for the Android platform using the Java programming language.
