In this study, the decrease of PH, PCO2,
HCO3 in the important rate below the normal level has shown the metabolic acidose (p<0.05).

Saliva has some protective factors against many various micro-organisms and prevents the oral mucosa from acidic toxicity.9,10 At neutral pH, it prevents the bacterial glycolysis by inhibiting the pH dependant glucose uptake of the bacteria and potentates the antibacterial defence mechanisms as a bacteriostatic agent.11-13 It has been shown that the ratio of hypothiocyanous acid (HOSCN) to hypothiocyanite (OSCN) value had an anti-streptococcal effect and very effectively inhibits bacterial growth if it was present in saliva at 7 pH values.14 The most important factor for the increase of the pH is the

Workup in the ER showed hyperglycemia of 472mg/dL, metabolic acidosis (pH 6.75, pCO2 18.4, pO2 149,
HCO3 2.5, base deficit 32.6, anion gap 23.5), ketosis (beta-hydroxybutyrate 11.41), glucosuria, and ketonuria, which were consistent with diabetic ketoacidosis.
Patient's capillary withdrawal time was prolonged (>5 sec) and were given inotropic agents, vasopressor support and saline challange twice a day (20 cc/kg) Her blood gases were; pH 6,56, pCO2: 104 mmHg,
HCO3:9,2 mmol/L, Be:-31,6, lactat: 16,32 mmol/L at her admission.
The idea get supports from the very high correlation matrix (0.92) among Mg and
HCO3 ions in the groundwater and negative with pH (Table 2).
However, the role that a prolonged transfer time plays in the ongoing dehydration of these neonates, and its influence on their serum
HCO3 needs to be taken into consideration as it was shown to be significantly associated with mortality.
