Acid-Base, Fluids, Lytes Pocketcare Set

This card summarizes the basic physiology of acid-base disorders and the proper use of electrolyte and fluid management. Specific topics include:• Distinguishing between different acid-base disorders from associated lab values • Chart for determining acid-base abnormalities based on pH and CO2 concentration. • Algorithm for determining acid-base status. • Algorithms for determining the causes of acidosis and alkalosis (low and high pH, respectively). • Assessment of common causes for acid-base disorders. • Management and replacement of fluids and electrolytes, including dosing of common electrolyte formulations.
