Acid Base Disorders - Delta Delta, Delta Gap, Delta Ratio (Explained Clearly!)

Показать описание
This is the 5th and final video of our Acid-Base Disorders series. In this video we dive into the Delta Delta, Delta Gap, and Delta Ratio. We explained what exactly this is and when it is useful. It is the next step after identifying a high anion gap metabolic acidosis. We will walk through the equations for the Delta Gap and Delta Ratio and talk about the difference between the two. We then go through what these equations mean as to identifying whether it is a mixed Normal Anion Gap and High Anion Gap Metabolic Acidosis or if there is a mixed High Anion Gap Metabolic Acidosis and Metabolic Alkalosis. Finally understand this confusing and often misunderstood topic!

I am studying for my boards and i'm so thankful i found this video. I have been so confused on this topic since medical school

So... Delta Gap is an easier to do and remember method.
Delta Delta ratio is a bit complicated, but may be more detailed info.
Thanks! (I would go for Delta gap).

I've seen 3 or 4 ways to interpret these numbers. Ninja nerd says 0-1 Delta means pure HAGMA, but here you say mixed. There seems to be no consensus on how to interpret the actual values. Med students beware.

do you think the tolerance of the delta gap is too narrow? say for example, using delta AG of 12 and delta bicarb of 14, you get delta gap of -2 which suggest combined nagma and hagma, but with same value the delta ratio is 0.85, which suggest hagma

Thank you so much for this wonderful explanation, but if was calculating the Delta gap and there was only HAGMA, then it should be zero, right? I mean instead of 1 or 2 ?

Sexy content, bro. I was postponing this for way too long.

Btw, if you just add the value of normal anion gap(8-12, I presume) at the beginning, this video would be complete.
