In this episode of EMTprep Pulse Check, we explore the principles of acid-base balance and why maintaining normal pH is essential for proper body function. Listeners will review how the respiratory and renal systems work together to regulate acid-base homeostasis, the causes of acidosis and alkalosis, and how disruptions in this balance affect patient presentation and emergency care.

The episode simplifies a challenging physiology topic by connecting acid-base concepts to common EMS scenarios, helping listeners understand how respiratory and metabolic conditions influence patient assessment and treatment priorities. By strengthening their understanding of acid-base balance, EMTs will be better equipped to recognize critical illnesses and provide effective prehospital care.
