Description

Acid-Base status and blood gas interpretation can be potentially tricky to learn. While there is no escape to memorizing normal values, this webinar will help you to make sense of the acid-base balance in your patients, and the clinical effects those changes can bring. We will also discuss the compensatory mechanisms the body employs in an attempt to keep the pH in the normal range. Also, learn a new technique using tic-tac-toe to quickly interpret blood gas results helping you to identify the primary disorder and if compensation is occurring. A brief discussion of respiratory blood gas interpretation will follow.
