However, permissive hypercapnia in the presence of shock, metabolic acidosis, and multi-organ system dysfunction may compromise normal cellular function. Tris-hydroxymethyl aminomethane (THAM) may be an effective method to control acidosis in this circumstance. Protonated THAM is excreted by the kidneys, so that carbon dioxide production is not raised. In an uncontrolled study, we administered THAM to 10 patients with acidosis (mean pH = 7.14) and ALI (mean lung injury score = 3.28) in whom adequate control of arterial pH could not be maintained during either eucapnic ventilation or permissive hypercapnia ventilation. THAM was given at a mean dose of 0.55 mmol\/kg\/h. Administration of THAM was associated with significant improvements in arterial pH and base deficit, and a decrease in arterial carbon dioxide tension that could not be fully accounted for by ventilation. Although further studies are needed to confirm these observations, THAM appears to be an effective alternative to sodium bicarbonate for treating acidosis during ALI.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1164\/ajrccm.161.4.9906031","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,4,4]],"date-time":"2013-04-04T14:15:01Z","timestamp":1365084901000},"page":"1149-1153","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":88,"title":["The Treatment of Acidosis in Acute Lung Injury with Tris-Hydroxymethyl Aminomethane (THAM)"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"161","author":[{"given":"RICHARD H.","family":"KALLET","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesia and Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, University of California, San Francisco at San Francisco General Hospital, San Francisco, California"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"ROBERT M.","family":"JASMER","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesia and Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, University of California, San Francisco at San Francisco General Hospital, San Francisco, California"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"JOHN M.","family":"LUCE","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesia and Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, University of California, San Francisco at San Francisco General Hospital, San Francisco, California"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"LUDWIG H.","family":"LIN","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesia and Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, University of California, San Francisco at San Francisco General Hospital, San Francisco, California"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"JAMES D.","family":"MARKS","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesia and Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, University of California, San Francisco at San Francisco General Hospital, San Francisco, California"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2000,4,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026032708425824400_B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"64","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02425061","article-title":"Consensus conference on mechanical ventilation\u2014 January 28\u201330, 1993 at Northbrook Illinois, USA.","volume":"20","author":"Slutsky","year":"1994","journal-title":"Intensive Care Med."},{"key":"2026032708425824400_B2","first-page":"880","article-title":"Intermittent positive-pressure hyperventilation with high inflation pressures produces pulmonary vascular injury in rats.","volume":"132","author":"Dreyfuss","year":"1985","journal-title":"Am.
