Integrating Acid-Base and Metabolic Lab Panels Across Systems in an M1 Classroom Activity

Introduction It is important to deliver acid-base balance concepts in the context of multiple physiological systems and metabolic processes that influence acid-base homeostasis. This activity combines the interactions of the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and renal systems in conjunction with basic...
