Webinar
Learning objectives
After watching this webinar, participants will understand:
the importance of silent, slight changes of BGA, which can have significant and terrifying consequences;
some of the most common abnormalities (based on the presented cases); and
the important role of various types of metabolic acidosis among ICCU patients.
Needs assessment and expected educational outcome
To broaden the knowledge of cardiologists in training about the importance of even small changes in acid-base balances and how to handle them because critically ill patients in intensive coronary care units often exhibit changes in their acidity/alkalinity ratio.
