GAIN A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF ACID-BASE DISORDERS IN COVID-19 PATIENTS
Acid-base disturbances are common - especially in patients with severe viral infections such as COVID-19.
The accurate interpretation of lab tests in patients with acid-base problems is key to managing patients in critical condition.
This video series is a collection of previously recorded MedCram videos on ABGs and acid-base disturbances.

Fabulous! I always thought I was pretty good at medical acid base and arterial blood gas interpretation but I have never had an explanation so succinct and easy to follow. Thank you again and again!

Excellent review of ABGs and learnt the interpretation of the AG and Delta Gap. I definitively will review again the course. Thank you for your hard work explaining
CARLOS AMAYA, MD
It is easy to refresh these concepts in this way, just for the Winter´s formula, I found it little confusing in this way, but for me is a new way to use it.
