Abstract
Therefore this chapter will first focus on aspects of acid-base physiology that are relevant to most anesthesiologists. It will become clear that acid-base disorders may have a major clinical impact both on the patient scheduled for anesthesia and anesthetic drugs. But even more importantly, many clinical interventions by anesthesiologists may actually profoundly influence [H+] itself. The importance of [H+] warrants a thorough understanding of factors influencing it. This is where the Stewart approach may have its greatest value. Obviously, in this chapter this quantitative method will be used where possible and appropriate.
