RESUMO
Studies were carried out to determine the influence of the chronic level of arterial carbon dioxide tension upon the buffering response to acute changes in arterial carbon dioxide tension. After chronic adaptation to six levels of arterial CO2 tension, ranging between 35 and 110 mm Hg, unanesthetized dogs underwent acute whole body CO2 titrations. In each instance a linear relationship was observed between the plasma hydrogen ion concentration and the arterial carbon dioxide tension. Because of this linear relationship, it has been convenient to compare the acute buffering responses among dogs in terms of the slope, dH+/dPaco2. With increasing chronic hypercapnia there was a decrease in this slope, i.e. an improvement in buffer capacity, which is expressed by the equation dH+/dPaco2=-0.005 (Paco2)chronic + 0.95. In effect, the ability to defend pH during acute titration virtually doubled as chronic Paco2 increased from 35 to 110 mm Hg.
