课程简介

Aimed at physicians, ICU nurses and others working in acute care, this course provides an introduction to Peter Stewart’s model of clinical acid-base chemistry.

课程大纲

  • Essential concepts in solution and acid-base chemistry
  • Basics of aqueous solutions 
  • A step-wise approach whereby a simple aqueous solution has constituents added until it resembles blood plasma and other biological fluids
  • How principles of solution chemistry explain the acid-base behaviour

课程详情

Clinical acid-base chemistry forms an integral part of the education of medical professionals, and is essential for the management of many patients in an acute care setting.

Traditional approaches to this topic make use of over-simplified arguments which introduce a number of ambiguities and explanatory inadequacies. 

In this course, you will learn about Stewart’s model and how it uses a formal solution equilibrium approach which facilitates a clearer understanding of the process. A number of clinical examples are given to illustrate the power of this approach and the contrast with the more traditional teaching of the subject.
