In this course, we teach you how to identify acid-base disturbances on the arterial blood gas (ABG). We begin by dealing with important physiological concepts which will help you interpret changes in parameters on the ABG relevant to acid-base balance. We will teach you the differential diagnosis of metabolic and respiratory pH disturbances. We explain the concept of the ‘anion gap’ and show you how calculation of this variable can guide investigation in the presence of a metabolic acidosis. We explain the link between extracellular fluid (ECF) electrolyte levels and ECF pH with particular reference to metabolic alkalosis.
