Alfred Murray: QuestionsDoes this patient have an acidosis? Is it respiratory or metabolic? How do you calculate the anion gap? Is it abnormal in this patient? What would be the differential diagnosis for a metabolic acidosis with an increased anion gap? Which would you consider in this patient? Does the patient have an alkalosis? Is it respiratory, metabolic or both? How would you characterize the entire acid-base disturbance? Why is the pH normal?  |
