Acid-base analysis can be highly informative for identifying a patient's diagnosis as well as understanding dynamic pathophysiological changes in a patient. Correct identification of acid-base problems can also be life-saving. Understanding acid-base changes in a patient can seem challenging at first. This seminar will provide a basic overview of how to break down an acid-base problem into small parts, and will review the red flags that can lead you to the correct diagnosis. The seminar will be case-based and provide plenty of practice in interpreting a range of acid-base and blood gas abnormalities.
