Recent advances in acid–base physiology and in the epidemiology of acid–base disorders
have refined our understanding of the basic control mechanisms that determine blood pH in …

Background: Intensivists spend much of their time managing problems related to fluids,
electrolytes, and blood pH. Recent advances in the understanding of acid-base physiology …

Complex acid–base disorders arise frequently in critically ill patients, especially in those with
multiorgan failure. In order to diagnose and treat these disorders better, some intensivists …

To maintain homeostasis, the human body employs many physiological adaptations. One of
these is maintaining an acid-base balance. In the absence of pathological states, the pH of …

An advanced understanding of acid–base physiology is as central to the practice of critical
care medicine, as are an understanding of cardiac and pulmonary physiology. Intensivists …

For more than 15 years, an alternative view of the universe has been available for acid-base
physiology. While conceptually new, this analysis, originally presented by Peter Stewart, is …

Acid-base abnormalities are extremely common in modern ICUs. Although most cases are
mild and self-limiting, there are certain circumstances in which acid-base derangements are …

The history of assessing the acid–base equilibrium and associated disorders is intertwined
with the evolution of the definition of an acid. In the 1950s clinical chemists combined the …
