In this video I breakdown the difference between uncompensated, partially compensated, and fully compensated metabolic alkalosis.

I had a patient on a lasix drip yesterday and this video really helped me understand what was going on with him.

BTW, I just took a 50 question practice test on ABGs (real questions from the TMC) and I got them all right!!! Thank you for your clear explanations for everything!! I am so happy :)

I was a Respiratory Therapist from 1986 to 1992. I never thought I would need these skills again when I switched careers to Information Technology. Now I find myself studying up. Thank you for helping me wake up those neurons again and trying to put them back to work. I remember more than I thought I did, just needed a little jolt. Gotta go, got to watch all your other videos. Keep up God's work!

Once again a stellar video with valuable information! I think the content you give is going to set those that listen and apply it to their practice apart from an average therapist! I ask that you continue to deliver great content like this!!! I strive to be one of the best RRT for my patients!

In the video you said the neuro drive to breathe would like to turn the VE down to 3l/m to allow the CO2 to increase to compensate. But the neuro drive can not decrease the VE because the vent is in VCV with a set VE of 6. My question is, why can't we adjust the vent settings to get a set VE of 3 to increase the CO2?

Hi coach, thanks again for another great video, I have Two questions if you didn't mind. One there is a normal range for a VBG like the ABG, but we use ABG more often why is that? Second question: is there signs and symptoms for patients blood gas. For example if a patient has Respiratory Alkalosis is there any signs that I can observe to say Iam 100% my patient is in respiratory alkalosis based of both my blood gas and the signs. Thanks alot coach 🙏
