Acid-Base Disorders and Acute Renal Failure

In this symposium, Dr. Sloane provides a logical, stepwise approach to the interpretation of acid-base disturbances without the need to invoke onerous formulas and rules. By the end of this session, you will be able to identify simple (single) acid-base disorders, understand the appropriate acute and chronic compensation to a single disorder, discern the difference between uncompensated, acutely compensated, partially compensated and fully compensated disorders, recognize a second primary (double) disorder, expose “hidden” and “complex” acid-base disorders and appreciate the differential diagnosis of the six primary acid-base disorders

Dr. Bohner will follow with a discussion of the pathophysiology, diagnostic strategy, and management of acute kidney injury in the ICU setting.

What to Expect

Each session has a user friendly interface with clear sections for ease of navigation. The sessions include objectives, video content split into modules and session progress tracking. After completing the post-test (multiple attempts allowed), you’ll have one click access to your CME certificate. We also provide you with PDF’s of the slide deck and other handouts.

PSA is a groundbreaking education tool for any resident interested in solidifying their foundation in pulmonary and sleep medicine as well as expanding their knowledge base into the intricacies of these fields. The format is easy to follow, no matter what level of medicine you’re at. This is a valuable tool for medical students and residents. I highly recommend it to those interested in pulmonary, critical care or anesthesiology. The programs will allow you to develop a comfort level with topics that may be difficult to comprehend.

PSA was highly informative and challenging. The speakers were clear and concise in their delivery. Explanations were provided with the post questions explaining all answers. I also like the way the session was broken up.

I am a practicing Emergency Medicine physician in North Carolina and want to improve my knowledge of critical care and pulmonary topics. When I heard about PSA, I knew this would be a great way to do that. And so far through the pulmonary course, it definitely has been! It’s been both a great review of the basic medical school concepts while also introducing and explaining higher level clinical pearls. The presentations are clear and the graphics put some of the complex ideas into nice visual depictions that are way better than any text description could be. The built-in test questions and ability to earn CME are great additions as well. This has been a fantastic educational opportunity. I highly recommend it to any clinical provider who wants to advance his or her knowledge of important pulmonary topics!
