    I want to thank you for creating all these vids to help others. My brother introduced me to dirtyusmle and I have used ur teachings to teach my friend and she learns while I reinforce what i learned because of you. Teachers like u are what make the world better. I can honestly say that every single video of yours that i have seen has changed my life. When i pass my exam it will change my life even more, a better future not only for myself and for my family, but also for all the people i will be able to help one day. Thank you and please continue to make these great helpful videos!!! I ❤️ dirtyusmle!!!

    Quick info regarding the first example, we have to calculate compensation whenever we encounter Metabolic acidosis by Winter formula. (1.5 * HCO3 + 8 +-2) . so the example u gave is not compensated . Its Metabolic Acidosis without compensation

      We might release a textbook if we can generate enough interest. It would NOT be all-inclusive (ie, it would NOT be like First Aid).

    A good trick: Is there an anion gap? It is good to look at this BEFORE ANY OTHER NUMBER to save time. Because, if there IS INDEED an anion gap, then you 100% have an anion gap metabolic acidosis

  • @woolypig1328
    @woolypig1328 4 года назад

    Hi Dirty, I might be wrong about this, but if you use Winters formula to calculate the range of CO2 for compensation, this CO2 value should be between 33-37. However CO2 here is beyond this range, so theoretically speaking I don't think this is a compensation.

    • @DirtyMedicine

  • @nigahiga8931
    @nigahiga8931 6 лет назад +5

    i think the first example may be a little too simplistic. Yes the patient has metabolic acidosis. but then you should use winter's formula to see if the patient is being compensated with the respiratory system with 1.5*HCO3 + 8. This gives you a value of 35 (range of 33-37). Because the value of CO2 is much lower then expected, then the patient should be having a overlaid respiratory alkalosis and he is NOT compensating.... is this not correct?

    What would you if you have HCO3 and pCO2 and you're asked to find the H+ concentration? What I did was use the Hasselbach equation to figure out the pH that way, and then I did 10^(-pH) to get the [H+]. I'm getting slightly confused though, if you have the H+ concentration then how would you make a diagnosis/deficit?

    • @docthind4765
      @docthind4765 6 лет назад +3

      It is a mixed acid-base disorder since pH is high it is alkalaemia and carbon dioxide is low hence it is respiratory alkalosis and for this bicarbonate should be low for compensation to be exact three points below normal for acute respiratory alkalosisAnd 7.5 points below normal for chronic respiratory alkalosis but pH is high here so it is a mixed acid-base disorder of respiratory alkalosis and metabolic alkalosis and that also explains very high pH

    • @DirtyMedicine
      @DirtyMedicine  8 лет назад +26

      Some things you may not have thought of:
      (1) Don't take a lunch break -- instead, take 10 min here and there. Eat protein bars and take a few sips of something caffeinated. Taking an entire lunch break weighs you down and makes you sleepy.
      (2) If you are stuck on an answer, pick the obvious answer & don't assume they are trying to trick you. USMLE is all about presenting questions that have a clear, NON-controversial answer. Don't assume a question is trying to be tricky...they can only construct a fair curve with excellent, clear-cut answers.
      (3) ...sort of a continuation of (2)...trust your gut. The brain in your stomach is smarter than the one in your head.
      (4) On the night before your exam, make sure you get a good night sleep. I woke up at 5am that morning to intentionally make myself sleepy that night. Also, read the "Rapid Review" section in the back of FA, but don't study anything else. Within 24 hours, you won't learn anything new so just relax and don't get stressed, or else it will be detrimental.
