dc.description | Join us on this educational journey as we unravel the mysteries of acid-base disturbances in ABGs with this Loomis-Alvarez Video Series episode! Designed by and for medical students, this video guides viewers through clinical cases involving acid-base disturbances. Become a master in interpreting acid-base compensatory compensatory mechanisms and widen your understanding of acid-base homeostasis and abnormalities.

dc.description.abstract | In this episode of the Loomis-Alvarez Medical Video Series, we present a systematic approach for a critical interpretation of compensatory acid-base disturbances in Arterial Blood Gases (ABGs). In this video, we will decipher compensatory acid-base disturbances in arterial blood gases, a skill that helps diagnose and manage critical conditions. We will follow a systematic approach, first identifying if there is acidemia or alkalemia by looking at the pH. Then, we will determine the primary culprit – is it a respiratory issue reflected in the pCO2, or a metabolic problem evident in the HCO3- level? The fun part comes next: analyzing the compensatory response. Did the body attempt to adjust the pH with the respiratory system (by altering CO2) or with the metabolic system (through HCO3- changes)? By following this step-by-step analysis, our peers will walk you through the intricacies of making a proper diagnosis of the primary disorder and also understand how the body is trying to maintain and/or regain balance. This knowledge is key to making informed treatment decisions for your patients. Join us on this educational journey as we unravel the mysteries of acid-base disturbances in ABGs. Join us on this educational voyage as we demystify the complexities of acid-base disturbances in ABGs. | |
