58 Acid base

This week we talk to Dr Duana McBride, lecturer in emergency and critical care here at the RVC about Acid base. Duana has a straight forward logical approach to blood gas interpretation and the reasons of why it is important to have a look in the emergency patient. There are many resources to help you navigate their interpretation. Here are a suggested few. The best FOAMed podcaster (in my humble opinion); Dr Scott Weingart, has 5 podcasts on acid base https://emcrit.org/?s=acid+base The Merck manual http://www.msdmanuals.com/en-gb/professional/endocrine-and-metabolic-disorders/acid-base-regulation-and-disorders/acid-base-disorders   And how useful they can be even in GI disease. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/store/10.1111/j.1939-1676.2005.tb02770.x/asset/j.1939-1676.2005.tb02770.x.pdf?v=1&t=j98vv871&s=43aadc6be2be16348a163d263ddbcabbb87dfbf8 If you have any comments about this podcast, please get in touch (email [email protected]; tweet @dombarfield).
