FOREWORD
Praise to Almighty God for the gift of grace so that I can finish the task referat
given by the supervisor. Referat is made for the settlement of their clinical duties for
Co-Ass the Faculty of Medicine, University of Pelita Harapan granted by SMF
Section of Interanl medicine Level I Police Hospitals Raden Said Sukanto.
Referat discussed thoroughly on Management of Life-Threatening Acid Base
Balnce Disorder. Materials for referat taken from books and journals and articles that
are available online. The authors hope that this made referat be useful for the readers.
Hope the authors that the presence of this referat can help understand more
thoroughly the topics being discussed.
Thank you to all those who have assisted in the completion of this referat
manufacture. Especially the counselors at the child, especially dr. Dasril Nizam, Sp.
PD-KGEH writer in the making as mentors this referat and all parties that provide
direction and support in the process of resolving this referat.
The author realizes that this referat still far from perfect and has many flaws.
Therefore, the authors are happy to accept all criticisms and feedback given that this
