When it comes to mastering anesthesia, a solid understanding of acid-base balance and blood gas interpretation is non-negotiable. Whether you’re a nursing student, an ICU nurse preparing for CRNA school or already deep into your Nurse Anesthesia Resident training, this topic is essential for clinical decision-making.
In today’s episode, we are honored to welcome Dr. Carly Mitchell, DNP, APRN, CRNA, the Program Director of Bellarmine University’s Juneja Nurse Anesthesia Program. With extensive experience in obstetric anesthesia and clinical education, Dr. Mitchell brings a wealth of knowledge to break down the complexities of acid-base physiology and arterial blood gas (ABG) analysis. Get ready to boost your critical thinking as Dr. Mitchell breaks down key concepts to help you understand and interpret ABG results with confidence.
From identifying respiratory versus metabolic imbalances to understanding compensation mechanisms, Dr. Mitchell delivers a comprehensive yet practical approach to acid-base management in anesthesia practice. She simplifies the science behind pH regulation, bicarbonate buffering, and the intricate role of the respiratory and renal systems in maintaining homeostasis.
If you’ve ever second-guessed an ABG interpretation or struggled to pinpoint whether an acid-base disturbance is compensated, this episode is for you. So, let’s dive in and elevate your expertise—because as future CRNAs, precision in acid-base management isn’t just important, it’s critical.
