Metabolic Alkalosis: The Forgotten Acid-Base Imbalance
We often draw blood gasses looking for an ACIDosis, but what about when you discover an ALKAlosis?
In this episode, I share a story of a patient with a history of CHF, admitted for diuresis. She was initially improving but becames lethargic and difficult to arouse. We were surprised when her VBG showed alkalosis instead acidosis. Guest Sarah Lorenzini from the Rapid Response RN podcast, helped me make sense of our finding.
Listen in to learn about this rare acid base imbalance that can occur as a result of a very common intervention.
