Abstract
The physicochemical model is frequently perceived as too complex for bedside use, however a set of simplified screening questions based on Stewart's model can be utilized to aid acid-base interpretation. Examples using this approach are included in an online appendix. Emphasis is placed on understanding the consequences of hypoalbuminaemia, volume status, tonicity and chloride derangements as these are common in ICU patients.
