  • Title: [Stewart's acid-base approach].
    Author: Funk GC.
    Journal: Wien Klin Wochenschr; 2007; 119(13-14):390-403. PubMed ID: 17671819.
    Abstract:
    In addition to paCO(2), Stewart's acid base model takes into account the influence of albumin, inorganic phosphate, electrolytes and lactate on acid-base equilibrium. It allows a comprehensive and quantitative analysis of acid-base disorders. Particularly simultaneous and mixed metabolic acid-base disorders, which are common in critically ill patients, can be assessed. Stewart's approach is therefore a valuable tool in addition to the customary acid-base approach based on bicarbonate or base excess. However, some chemical aspects of Stewart's approach remain controversial.
