Hello!!
I am a pgy2 emergency medicine resident. I need to give an hour long lecture, specifically about metabolic acidosis… I’m not sure where to start preparing so I decided it would be best to seek advice from those much smarter than me. Anyone have any tips on how to structure this?
I was thinking I’d start off by talking about physiology (how acidosis affects structure and function of different organ systems), then move on to how to approach the acidosis patient in the ED (maybe a case?), then talk about how to read an abg, then talk about the specific subtypes of high anion gap annotation gap. I’d like to add tips and tricks for treatment and when to consult different services in the hospital etc. Then end with like 5 practice questions. Idk.. if anyone has any other suggestions I’d love that.
Thanks in advance!
