Popis: Item does not contain fulltext Acute metabolic alkalosis (NaHCO(3)), acidosis (NH(4)Cl), and placebo (NaCl) were induced in 15 healthy volunteers (12 females, median age 34 (range 24-56) years) in a double blind, placebo controlled study to evaluate the presence of the effects on airway calibre. Acid-base shifts were determined by capillary blood gas sampling. Measurements were performed at the maximal acid-base shift, 90 min after intervention. Airway resistance (R(aw)) and specific airway conductance (sG(aw)), were evaluated, as primary variables, pre and post intervention. Secondary variables, including bronchial responsiveness to histamine, maximal respiratory mouth pressures and grip strength, were evaluated post intervention. In alkalosis, base excess (BE) increased from -0.3 (-3.0-1.9) to 3.0 (1.0-4.8) mmol/l and pH increased from 7.41 (7.37-7.43) to 7.44 (7.39-7.47) (both P
