Conversations with Keith and Courtney: Acid-Base Balance
Listen now
Description
Stay with us! In the final episode of this series, Keith and Courtney introduce Acid-Base Balance and Disturbances. It has taken years for both of them to get to grips on some of the basics of this topic, and they spend the next hour breaking down what is going on and how to interpret the values in front of you. During the second half of this episode, they discuss some case-based scenarios.  Even if you are not utilising blood gas analysis in practice, it doesn’t mean something acute is not happening to our patients under anaesthesia just because we can’t see it, so it is still useful to understand.
