Niels is actually working as an internist-intensivist in the 12-bed medical intensive care unit of the Stuivenberg Hospital in Antwerp. His special interest lies in the acid-base analysis and the effects of fluid management on the human acid-base status. He is a strong advocate of the physicochemical explanation of these effects, introduced by Peter Stewart, and of the deleterious effects of fluid overload. He regularly gives local and international lectures about this topic and will start a research project on the subject in collaboration with the University Hospital of Antwerp in 2014.
