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.
This course will remain free, please share it with anyone you think may be interested. We hope you find it helpful, and we welcome feedback.
If you want CME or CEUs for this course, please sign up for one of our All-Access Plans (you'll get access to all MedCram videos and CME for the accredited courses).

ABG was explained in a way that everyone will be able to comprehend. Thank you so much! Made it easier for me to interpret.
ALEXIS MARCOS, Pharmacist
A really useful teaching session on ABGs. Given that one should aim at treating the cause(s) for these metabolic\respiratory acid-base disturbances it is important to consider all the processes occurring in one given occasion. These classes completely hit the nail in the head, and make ABG interpretation very straightforward. Thanks Medcram and Dr Seheult

at age 75 it was a little bit fast for me but all in all he did a great job. I think i may retake it again at a later date if I'm still alive. I came to learn about covid primarily
CHRISTINA ENGSTEDT, RN
This was very informative and gave a great explanation of acid/base balance. Thank you.
