ACID- BASE balance (imbalances) Nursing: ABG'S, Acidosis vs Alkalosis- RESPIRATORY VS METABOLIC - Video

Acid base balance nursing NCLEX review: ABG'S are the measurement of the alkalinity or acidity of the arterial circulation
Acid base balance refers to how the body regulates the PH in the blood and other body fluids. The lungs and kidneys help in regulating acid base balance, an imbalance occurs as a result of too much or too little of acid or base, too much acid will make the body acidic while too much base will make the body basic or alkaline
in this video, the acid base balances are covered which includes
respiratory acidosis
respiratory alkalosis
metabolic acidosis
metabolic alkalosis
and their modes of compensation. when one is out of balance, the other compensates by increasing or decreasing in order to steady the PH
