Understanding and Interpreting ABGs Part 7: Metabolic Acidosis

In part 7 of our 13-part series on Understanding and Interpreting ABGs, Dr. Andrew Wolf from Health Ed Solutions will discuss the concept of metabolic acidosis.
👉 The common causes of metabolic acidosis is discussed
👉 The difference between a non-gap and a high-gap metabolic acidosis
👉 Non-gap acidosis can be caused by two things:
1.) a decrease in bicarbonate preservation of the kidney typically caused by renal failure or
2.) an increase in chloride ions
👉 High gap acidosis can be caused by:
1.) increase in endogenous acids such as lactic acids, ketoacids, uric acids, or phosphoric acids
2) exogenous acids due to toxins or overdose
We hope you enjoyed part 7 of our Understanding and Interpreting ABGs 13-part series from Health Ed Solutions. Stay tuned for part 8!

Our online medical education offerings (such as ACLS, PALS, BLS, NRP, 12-Lead ECG / EKG, Arrhythmia Interpretation, and Monitor Tech) are specifically designed for busy healthcare professionals (paramedics, EMTs, CRNAs, dentists, physical therapists, medical students, registered nurses, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, physicians / doctors, etc.) who are seeking a more convenient, engaging, effective and entertaining (yes entertaining) educational experience. We also offer BLS / CPR / AED / First Aid training courses for anyone who needs to know how to perform CPR, such as athletic trainers, teachers, coaches, lifeguards, and social workers.
At Health Ed Solutions, we believe the certification process should be enjoyable. Our courses follow the latest recommendations from ILCOR, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the American Heart Association.
Our innovations are born from our elite education staff and the understanding that not all students learn the same way.

This diverse approach ensures that every learner will benefit from the Health Ed Solutions platform.
