Effects of Oral Electrolyte Solutions on Glycemia and Acid-Base Balance in Neonatal Calves

An experimental dataset from a study on six healthy neonatal calves. The calves each received six different oral electrolyte solutions, and venous blood samples were taken at different times for analysis of total plasma protein, glycemia, and blood gases. The study was authored by G.C. Bregadioli and is available via the paperswithcode platform.

Use Cases

• Compare plasma volume expansion effects based on the administration of different oral electrolyte solutions.
• Analyze alkalizing effects on blood chemistry based on the use of specific solution formulations.
• Study the impact of oral lactated Ringer's solution on chloremia levels in calves.
• Model glycemia changes in response to different oral rehydration treatments.

Strengths

• Data is derived from a controlled experiment with six calves receiving all six treatments, allowing for within-subject comparisons.
• Analysis includes multiple physiological measures: total plasma protein, glycemia, blood gas analysis, SID3, and plasma volume variation.
• Statistical analysis was performed using repeated measures ANOVA for comparison between time points and solutions.

Limitations

• The dataset description does not specify column names, row counts, or file formats, limiting pre-download assessment.
• The sample size is small, involving only six calves, which may affect the generalizability of findings.
• Last update date and temporal coverage of the data are unknown.
