The acid-base status was studied in 61 patients with acute ethylene glycol poisoning. A correlation was established between the severity of poisoning and concentration of hydrogen ions (pH) as well as the buffer capacitance, that are the most distinct criteria of determination of the severity grade of ethylene glycol poisoning and may be used not only in the prognosis of outcomes of intoxications but also evaluating indications to early employment of active treatment methods.
