In this video tutorial, the presenter discusses the basics of acid-base imbalances, including pathophysiology and memory techniques. They explain that acid-base balance is akin to a tug of war in the body and is measured by blood pH, with a normal range of 7.35 to 7.45. A pH below 7.35 indicates acidosis, while a pH above 7.45 indicates alkalosis. The key components in maintaining this balance are bicarbonate (HCO3), which acts as a base, and carbon dioxide (CO2), which acts as an acid. The presenter offers a mnemonic device—"double Bs" (base equals bicarb)—to help remember this relationship. The video also includes practice questions, focusing on distinguishing fully compensated and partially compensated arterial blood gases (ABGs).
