AB This  chapter  describes  a  practical  approach  to  the  clinical  evaluation  and  treatment  of  acid-base  disorders.  We  discuss  the  traditional  approach  recognizing  that  acid-base  homeostasis  is  maintained  by  respiratory  control  of  the  partial  pressure  of  carbon  dioxide  (PCO2)  through  changes  in  alveolar  ventilation  and  control  of  HCO3–  reabsorption  and  H+  excretion  by  the  kidneys.1,2  The  traditional  bicarbonate-centered  model  continues  to  be  the  most  commonly  used  at  the  bedside.3
