"But the base deficit is..."

So... new fellow in the u it this week and everyday I have some service bust my balls about "there base deficit is high" or "let's tank em up and clear the base deficit" or some other nonsense. My question is, I for the life of me cannot find any reasonable explanation for why I should care about the base deficit in regards to the patient's volume status... am I missing something here?
