Medmastery: bicarbonate loss and acid overload
The team at Medmastery are providing LITFL readers with a series of FOAMed courses from across their website. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be posting videos from their Acid-Base Essentials course.
In this video we review how to differentiate between metabolic acidosis resulting from a loss of bicarbonate or by the addition of acid.
