A physicochemical approach to acid-base balance in critically ill trauma patients minimizes errors and reduces inappropriate plasma volume expansion.
Kaplan LJ, Cheung NH, Maerz L, Lui F, Schuster K, Luckianow G, Davis K.

Acid-base disturbances in critically ill patients with cirrhosis.
Funk GC, Doberer D, Kneidinger N, Lindner G, Holzinger U, Schneeweiss B.
Liver Int. 2007 Sep;27(7):901-9.

Rationale for inclusion: Patients with cirrhosis have an AB equillibrium which is lost in critical illness - the resulting acidosis disturbance is associated with increased mortality.

Bellomo R, Morimatsu H, French C, Cole L, Story D, Uchino S, Naka T; SAFE Study Investigators.
Crit Care Med. 2006 Dec;34(12):2891-7.

Rationale for inclusion: Ad hoc analysis of the SAFE trial - effect of type and volume of resuscitation fluid on acid base and electrolytes.

Acid-base status of critically ill patients with acute renal failure: analysis based on Stewart-Figge methodology.
Rocktaeschel J, Morimatsu H, Uchino S, Goldsmith D, Poustie S, Story D, Gutteridge G, Bellomo R.
Crit Care. 2003 Aug;7(4):R60.

Rationale for inclusion: Acidosis in critically ill patients with acute renal failure. Half of these patients have normal ABG and acidosis was detected only by the Stewart method.
