This is amazing. Thank you so much. You made 3 and a half weeks of incomprehensible lectures seem like something that I'm ready to tutor in a matter of an hour. That is incredible.

[shaikhamk]

Thank you so much. You're helping us to become great doctors. I really appreciate that❤️

[inominata]

I hit the liked button before I watch it. I always struggle with acid base, and you made it so easy to understand! Thank you so much!!!!

[amjadabbas]

Thank you very much sir, you cleared my concepts regarding ABGs

[zafarahmed]

Thanks a lot. May God almighty bless you with all peace and prosperity.

Winthers formula ratios for chronic respiratory acidosis is stated both 1/2 (at first) but then in the following example as 1/3.

[kjmd]

I understand why the second example at around 10:50 is chronic respiratory alkalosis, but couldn't there also potentially be a non-AG metabolic acidosis occurring concurrently, as the pH is within the normal range and when you add the delta AG to the bicarbonate level, it is less than the normal bicarbonate level which would indicate normal AG metabolic acidosis?

Thank you so much... really great illustration thanks again

these videos are really helpful thank you so so much. please consider making more teaching videos.

Dr. Seheult, Thank you much for making these videos.  No body ever explained acid-base this clearly.  The book that we follow did not help to understand.  Your lecture helped me to understand acid-base.  We are using the acid-base graph to plot the values but did not have a clear understanding of what it meant.  After you explained the graph, I can understand better about what it is.  You started from the basics and explained step-by-step.  Now, I am able to work out the example problems that you have used in this video.  Thank you.

Your videos are amazing. Please upload more.

You guys should team up with KhanAcademy... love his site but it sorely lacks in the more technical/professional medical subjects. It would give you more exposure and probably more resources. Either way, keep doing what you're doing.

[rdseheult]

Sure, we just got started so more's on the way.

Na range is 135-145, Cl also has a range too. so numbers move around.
Na = 140. Cl = 104 HCO3 = 24 are averages.

[rodinaacharya]

Thank you for the amazing videos. they are so helpful. I have one problem understanding, how did you get the value for Chloride ion ? Thank you again

[chungseng]

OMG!!! I LOVE FINALLY I KNOW WHY THE WINTER'S FORMULA IS THAT IMPORTANT, NOW I GOTTA GO BACK AND TAKE NOTES ALL THOSE FORMULAS THAT I SKIPPED xD

[aravindakshanmk]

Thank you very much.Easy to understand.

[Larry_lose]

awesome!!!!Talented Teacher. Thank you so much. You teach very clearly. 

[DrMursiMD]

thank you!! this was really, REALLY helpful!
