How to distinguish between different acid-base disorders: a simple rule.

Acid-base problems can occur isolated or in combination. Even when they are combined, however, there's usually one problem that causes more problems than the other. In this video, you'll learn the relationship between pH, HCO3, and pCO2 and a simple rule that will help you decide whether the primary problem is respiratory or metabolic in nature.

Learn how to resolve acid-base problems with a simple, four-step approach in our Acid-Base Essentials course. Dr. Franz Wiesbauer and Dr Rainer Oberbauer join forces to cover important topics like the anion gap, mixed acid-base problems, and compensation.
