This multi-author textbook provides a comprehensive under- standing of the Stewart approach to acid-base. The book consists of 30 chapters, grouped under three sections. Section 1 is a reproduction of Peter Stewart’s original work (9 chapters), section 2 is a detailed primer on quantitative acid- base chemistry (8 chapters), and the third section deals with the clinical applications of the Stewart approach (13 chapters). Section 27.4: It is suggested that elevated lactate from catecholamines results from increased Krebs cycle activity. It is actually due to accelerated glycolysis. In this section, it is also suggested that reliance on base excess as a resuscitation target in patients receiving catecholamines may lead to an inappropriate diagnosis of hypoperfusion, as base deficits can result purely from catecholamine-induced hyper- lactatemia. Similar errors can result from the use of strong ion gap (SIG) (when lactate is not included in the calculation). Finally, it is asserted that standard base excess (SBE) is un- stable as partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2) changes. SBE, unlike actual base excess (ABE), is extremely stable over wide ranges of PCO2. Retaining Stewart’s original masterly work represents one of the highlights of the book. In the ne
