Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The aim of this study is to define the incidence and nature of acidosis after major surgery using Figge's equations to directly measure acidosis. This study will also aim to compare the ability of indirect measures (base deficit, anion gap,corrected anion gap and lactate) to identify the presence of tissue acids in this population. The incidence of postoperative ketoacidosis as a contributor to tissue acidosis will be assessed through the use of point of care urinalysis.
