The Treatment of Metabolic Acidosis: An Interactive Case-Based Learning Activity
Introduction Metabolic acidosis is a dangerous and potentially life-threatening condition encountered in the inpatient and emergency department setting. Metabolic acidoses due to renal failure, bicarbonate losses, or lactic acidosis are common conditions, and the appropriate medical management of ea...

Metabolic acidoses due to renal failure, bicarbonate losses, or lactic acidosis are common conditions, and the appropriate medical management of each is relevant to any inpatient medical provider. Therefore, we created a learning activity that utilizes blackboard-style videos followed by an interactive case-based learning session to help the medical student recognize, diagnose, and manage common causes of metabolic acidosis. Methods We organized this learning activity by assigning digital videos, followed by application in an interactive team-based format. We created electronic blackboard-style videos and a quiz to assess medical knowledge related to concepts discussed in the videos. Next, we created case resources that facilitate an interactive case-based teaching session so the learners could apply their knowledge and simulate the management of metabolic acidosis. Results We implemented this activity for 34 medical students. All students viewed the videos prior to the in-class session. In a pre/post assessment of medical knowledge, we observed a significant improvement in quiz scores. Next, we successfully facilitated the case-based active learning session, allowing the assessment of higher-order cognitive skills related to management of patients with metabolic acidosis. Our medical students felt highly satisfied and competent at the completion of our course. Discussion Our medical students rated this as an excellent learning activity. Others may find this activity useful within the context of any course or rotation related to patients with metabolic acidosis.Michael BerkobenJohn K.
