Metabolic Acidosis Explained CLEARLY (Anion Gap vs. Non Anion Gap)

In this course, renowned instructor Dr. Seheult concisely explains the key components of how to interpret BMP / Chem-7 Results (one of the most commonly ordered lab tests by clinicians!):

- A clear understanding of each possible BMP result: hypernatremia and hyponatremia, hyperkalemia and hypokalemia, chloride and bicarbonate problems, BUN and creatinine problems, and hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia

- Initial management and treatment recommendations based on the BMP result

- Guidelines for when to order a BMP, and tips for following serial BMPs

- A clinical perspective of BMP nuances, pitfalls, and patterns

This video features illustrations of metabolic acidosis and why it is important to know if you're dealing with an anion gap metabolic acidosis or a non-anion gap metabolic acidosis.

I remember back in the day how we med students labored over this . It would have been much smoother if Dr. Seheult had been our teacher! Man did we over this stuff. Oh for a time machine! Thank you Dr. S !

[LunaSimtea]

THANK YOU !!! This is the absolutely clearest explanation of this subject I have ever encountered. It beats my lectures in Med School hands down.

[MegaJasonic]

Glad there are experts that have a handle on this. This is not easy stuff.

[concernedcitizen]

Bravo! Taking a complicated topic and making it understandable. Thank you.

[cathie]

Never went to college but I do enjoy your videos. I can figure out what you're talking about. 👍

[sapelesteve]

That brief presentation was really outstanding Doc! Concise & well explained. Thanks....👍👍

[dsmj]

I guess it's back to the original purpose of the channel for now. I'll still keep the notifications on.

Amazing work. Keep going, doc!
Greetings from a med student in Egypt. you spared me many hours of listening to my lecturers. <3

What a great teacher you are. Thank you so much.

I miss Dr. Seheult's COVID-19 updates! Please publish another very soon! Thank you.

Complex, but I've never seen a visual representation of the "gap" that everyone's always talking about. I teach my nursing students DKA where the obsession is "closing the gap" with an insulin drip, and how even if the BS is almost normal, we keep it going (and add dextrose to the maintenance fluid). This is helpful to grasp these concepts a little better.

So glad to see a new, more 'general' medical video 😄. SARSCoV2 updates were the most helpful out of all other sources in my opinion, but these more regular videos are also extremely educative :)

Strong work as usual.Your absence had me worried.Hope you had some good RR.

[mirmirjan]

[Sharonmxg]

so helpful to hear the big med terms pronounced. I usually just read them and tend to speak them with incorrect pronunciation.

Thank you from egypt

[katylb]

What an amazing explanation thank you! I'm trying to understand how to differentiate between nagma and AGMA when keto diet (AGMA), Diamox (usually nagma I think?) And drospirenone (holds onto potassium) all come into play together.

Thank you for this video. You made it very easy to understand.
