Acid-base Disorders

Home

Category: CME
Sub-Category: LABM/NEPH
Date: 5/28/2006
Time:9:00 AM to 9:45 AM
Facility: Moscone Convention Center
Location: Hall D
Description: At the conclusion of this presentation, participants will be able to:
recognize acid/base abnormalities using routine lab tests
describe the clinical significance of various acid-base disorders and their use in formulating a differential diagnosis
explain treatment options

Although acid-base disorders are commonly misunderstood, misinterpreted or completely unrecognized, their utility can be crucial in making firm diagnoses. A systematic approach to metabolic and respiratory acid/base derangement is imperative. This talk is designed to first recognize that a disorder exists and then follow a logical sequence to narrow down the differential diagnosis and eventually treat the patient appropriately. This is not a biochemistry class but rather a very practical and clinically relevant approach to these confusing disorders.
