Acid Base for the Non-intensivist (focus on Metabolic Acidosis and Mixed Disorders)

This video will teach you the etiologies for the various acid-base disorders as well as teach you how to interpret an ABG with a focus on metabolic acidosis and mixed disorders. This will teach you little to nothing about buffering, organic chemistry, biochemistry, etc. This is for practical application at the bedside.

Wow. This helped so much! Appreciation from south Africa!

This makes me flash back to 2012 Icu rotations in residency. My attending use to say "I will come to your house in the middle of the night and wake you up from a deep sleep and you will be able to tell me winter's formula, or I will beat you with a stick" I was so terrified I mastered acid base, and have not used it since... but if u see Dr Carpati at Lenox hill tell him I still remember winter's formula

This is amazing, I understood more this than my 8 years in college

omg this is amazing. thank you! Please do more!

Excellent !! Thank you.

Thank you so much! I really love your CZcams channel. There is one thing I want to add, though. I believe that at 22:17, the patient is experiencing pure AG metabolic acidosis(AGMA). If you calculate the delta ratio, it is less than 2, which indicates that it belongs to pure AGMA. The delta ratio is calculated as follows: delta ratio = (31-12) / (24-10) = 19 / 14 = 1.37 If AGMA is due to ketones, then a value of 1.2 above indicates the presence of AGMA and metabolic alkalosis. However, in this case, the lab glucose was 94. For AGMA due to other reasons to be present with metabolic alkalosis, the delta ratio would have to be above 2.

Very good you are a great teacher! Can you teach us ventilator basics?

[@marthateklemichael1796]

You’re amazing!!!❤️

[@isseisse715]

thanks great teacher i love you

[@plcdatvl]

that's superb

[@jankollner9768]

Very good and understandable even for me as a German. Thank you very much! Will you publish any more videos?

[@mel2trib2]

Can you do a whole series for the non-intensivist? Maybe for the non-internist? Or the non-adultist? (Peds here)

Well done video overall, though I would quibble with opioids as a cause of respiratory acidosis being bracketed along with anything causing a change in mental status. Opioids cause a very specific, largely mu mediated, respiratory depression even without obvious sedation, exemplified by the typical slow respiratory rate with largely preserved tidal volumes decreasing overall minute ventilation and resulting in an elevated pCO2.

[@jessicabunin4046]

Thanks for quibbling. Interesting point.

[@edmar7317]

in this fish bone cheat sheet, that 14 value which she said is bicarbonate section should actually be CO2 section.

[@ronelgallon6949]

Really great discussion, can you discuss pressors and inotropes please

Hope that helps! Have a great day!

At 12:23 you mention 116. Where does that come from? Checking your math like you asked. Thanks.

[@jessicabunin4046]

Cl + HCO3 = 102 + 14 = 116;
NA - (Cl+HCO3)= 138-116 = 22 = Anion gap
Thanks for checking!
