QABA - Quantitative Acid Base

Quantitative Acid Base Analysis is finally here for Mobile Devices! Download now and take your Acid Base Analysis to a new and quantitative level! Completely Free!

QABA is designed for Anaesthetic/ICU Consultants and Registrars, but may also be useful for other health and veterinary professionals

QABA allows you to enter the blood results from lab tests into your device and quickly analyse the Acid Base disturbance as per a refinement of the Quantitative Acid Base Analysis introduced by P. Stewart in 1978

The App boasts easy to enter swipe buttons for quick data entry. A Colour coded results screen with a text report and Gamblegram display. The App also includes a brief introduction to understanding QABA and a User Guide

Just enter the measured sodium, potassium, chloride, pH and CO2 and the App will calculate the results of the 3 independent variables that control blood plasma pH; CO2 Strong Ion Difference (SID) and Weak Acids (Atot). The app will also display the Net Unmeasured Ions (NUI) advancement on the Strong Ion Gap, used in Stewart’s original equations and comparable to the Anion Gap used by Traditional Acid base Analysis.

For added Analysis accuracy the QABA app will can also accept the phosphate, ionized calcium, magnesium, sulphate, lactate, urate, albumin and total protein levels

This App is based on version 11.6 of the P Lloyd 'Quantitative Acid Base Analysis' in use at Hawkes Bay hospital, New Zealand. The App was written by Dr C Donald and supervised by Intensivists Dr M Park and Dr R Freebairn.
