I really appreciated what you are doing and I really enjoyed it. My question is what mode is good for covid- 19( pressure or volume control)

[Hothitss]

What would you expect the respiratory rate to be for the example of respiratory alkalosis in this example?

man you're good... what a great video... EMT-P FP-C Candidate/

[ahmedthamir]

so BE is howmuch the bicarb is deviated from its normal range ..right ?

[dtmfool]

I understand conceptually but when you says “co2 back to 40” do you mean an equal increase in Bicarbonate? Like a 1:1 of co2 and bi carb? So if co2 is at 41 would you need a 1 base excess?

Really helpful explanation, took me a bit to get my head around it because I work in England and ABGs are measure in KPa. Either way it was really helpful and also gave me a refresher on compensated and uncompensated scenarios 🙂

Hey I have a question. What if patient has e respiratory alkalosis and bicarb is normal but there is a base deficit? What does it imply? Does it imply that there is a compensation?

[qriedvm]

Based on Base(excess/ deficit) in which level . .. does the patient needs to receive an Bicarb IV?

[dr.sudhirshah]

Awesome explanation!!!! I have a question:when Hco3 =34 how will the BE be +7??? Won’t it be 34-24=10 ?

[AesthMed]

How do you determine BE based on ABGs? Can you?

[mariapelepciuc]

Could you help me with this question? In which situation and which are ph and BE values that need bicarb iv administration?
I'm a med student, and I've seen a case with methabolic acidosis, ph 6.9 and BE -22( patient with DM, that didn't respected insulin treatment for 3, 4 days, we believe, even if he said that just one day he didn't got his medicine, in just one day it's impossible to reach 6.9 ph). We gave bicarb, insulin+glucose
