In this episode, Eric discusses the current evidence, approach and opinions on treating patients in metabolic acidosis w/ partial compensation. How do we determine the correct minute ventilation?

Should education focus more on critical thinking and the identification of these patients? Join us for "Blankets are for Naps, Not Medicine: Metabolic Acidosis - Calculated Discrimination"!
