Acidosis and Alkalosis MADE EASY

In this video, Dr Mike explains the mechanism behind respiratory and metabolic based acidosis and alkalosis.

Thanks for this video! I remembered the mnemonic ROME = respiratory opposite, metabolic equal.

Just brilliant

My lecturer: 50 min preso, 12 confusing slides

Dr. Mike: ~5mins, 3 color markers, 1 pimp 'stache

After 10years of confusion around this topic, I finally understood it within 5mins. Genius

I have been trying to get my head around this for over a week, then I stumble across this video and everything becomes crystal clear in 5 minutes. God save you!!

You can tell when someone understands a difficult topic if they are able to explain a complex topic in simple terms.

you are 100% correct highly recommended for BSc in biochem and nursing please do more lessons

This got me so confused at the beginning because I kept asking myself how is it that we keep producing increased hydrogen when CO2 increases but yet we are going down in Ph. But once I realized that Ph is measured in 1x10^-ph. Now it made sense because naturally when you decrease something raised to a negative power it would increase it. Thank you for this video!

I have grade nine education and somehow ended up in college at 66 years old learning to be a MLAT. you have no idea how easy you just made this for me. I was nearly crying in class today realizing how much i have no idea what my teacher was teaching. thank you thank you and hope something nice happens for you that you never knew you wanted .

Hi Dr. I am a strength and conditioning and research exercise science student. Just wanted to say that you have an incredible way of making things a bit difficult relatively easy. Thanks again for the videos. A pleasure to watch.
Kind regards,

Perfect timing. I am learning about this topic. Can you make a video about the electrolytes hyperkalemia, hyponatremia, etc. Please :)

I am not even a legally medical student, just a regular high school student that got curious about this. You explain it so well !! Thank you

[rodee]

That’s amazing how I understand 3hours lecture in 5 minutes, Thank you so much 😍

Pure Genius ! I love your videos Doc ! Never came across so precise and strikingly informative vidoes that are to the point that sit in ur head ! Can't thank you enough ! :)

[lovelucy]

You did an amazing job teaching us, in a way I actually understood. My Instructor's lecture had me running in circles!

[skymoon]

When a topic is difficult for me, you do a great job and explain it clearly,
You are wonderful doctor 💕👍🏻

Thank you for this tip! “ROME”: The Opposite or Equal is in reference to the pH. For example, in Respiratory alkalosis when the pH is High then the carbon dioxide CO2 is Low and the compensatory effect is Low bicarbonate HCO3- so Opposite from the high pH. However, in metabolic alkalosis when pH is High then HCO3- is High and to compensate CO will also be High, so they are all Equally High.

Sir, your moustache and your teaching are both incredible. Thank you for this.

[nicodelgado]

I love how he explains these topics. Hard topics made easy god bless you Dr
