Normal acid-base equilibrium in the dog is characterized by a strong positive correlation between plasma bicarbonate concentration and P[partial pressure]CO2. A similar relationship between normal levels of PCO2 and plasma bicarbonate might be present in man. Values for bicarbonate within the normal range are highly dependent upon the prevailing level of PCO2. Approximately 50% of the normal variance in bicarbonate concentration is explained simply by the variance in PCO2. The joint confidence region for bicarbonate concentration and PCO2 that can be derived from these data provides a new and more rigorous definition of normal acid-base equilibrium in man.
