Acid-Base Interpretation | A Clinical Medicine Brief

PULM 101: Acid-Base Interpretation | Clinical Medicine Brief

In this episode of the Pro-PA Podcast, we simplify acid-base interpretation, a crucial yet intimidating topic for PANCE prep and clinical practice. Using a step-by-step approach, we’ll help you confidently analyze arterial blood gases (ABGs) to diagnose acid-base disorders and their underlying causes.

What we’ll cover:
-The Basics of Acid-Base Balance: Understanding pH, PaCO2, and HCO3.

Step-by-step ROME method for interpreting ABGs:
-Respiratory Opposite, Metabolic Equal.
-Determining if the primary issue is respiratory or metabolic.
-Calculating the Anion Gap: Recognizing metabolic acidosis and its causes (MUDPILES mnemonic).
-Differentiating between simple and mixed disorders.
-Clinical examples: Applying your knowledge to real-world cases.
-Practical pearls: Focusing on high-yield, straightforward strategies that simplify acid-base interpretation.
-A vignette-style knowledge check to reinforce your learning!
