Professor David Story, a leading anaesthetist and researcher from the University of Melbourne, dives deep into the complexities of acid-base physiology. He explains the importance of understanding the Stewart approach and simplifies the definitions of acids for clinical use. The conversation explores practical models for assessing acid-base disorders during surgery, including the impact of CO2 on mixed disorders. Additionally, Story highlights the clinical value of quantifying 'other ions' and introduces useful tools like the bedside Stewart app for quick assessments.
