Respiratory Acidosis
In this lesson, we are going to review one type of acid-base imbalance called respiratory acidosis. We will review the lab parameters and signs and symptoms that aid in diagnosing this condition and identify causes and risk factors for development.

Acid-Base Compensation Process
In this lesson, we are going to give a thorough review of how the body regulates acid-base balance using a process called compensation. We will also review the normal pH ranges for the body and how systems work together to

Normal Acid-Base Values
In this lesson, we are going to review the normal lab values related to acid-base balance. We will also review how to interpret arterial blood gas measurements to determine what acid-base imbalance may be present. Learning Objectives: Upon the

Concepts of Acid-Base Balance
In this lesson, we are going to review several concepts that are important to understanding acid-base balance within the body. We will review the normal pH ranges for the body and also introduce how the body regulates and balances pH

Hypochloremia
What is the function of chloride in the body? We are going to answer that question in this lesson and then identify some causes and risk factors for developing hypochloremia, or low levels of chloride in the body. Then we
