BE / Base Excess
BE or Base Excess, e.g.
"During the 1981 American Medical Research Expedition to Everest (AMREE), alveolar gas samples taken on the summit, and at altitudes down to 8000 m, showed that the summit alveolar PO2 and PCO2 values were about 4.7 kPa (35 mmHg) and 1 kPa (7.5 mmHg), respectively. When these data were combined with measurements of base excess (BE) in venous blood drawn the following morning at an altitude of 8050, the calculated arterial blood gases on the summit were PO2 3.7 kPa (28 mmHg), PCO2 1 kPa (7.5 mmHg) and pH 7.7–7.8 [1].
