Acid-Base Balance

Thank you so much, Dr Thad. You're very clever in coming up with the 'gnomes' example, which is perfect for quickly understanding Acid-base. Thanks again.

Thank you! I appreciate how you explain this material. Thank you

ok me gusto mucho esta leccion , gracias por hacer lecturio para estudiar

Physiology for me was just something that, as Medicine student, I had to study... After Dr. Thad Wilson's courses, actually I'm enjoying it! Very good structure, the tone is calm, very good explanation, funny mnemonics and many useful info that I'm sure will be valuable for my proffesional future! Thank you, Dr. Wilson!!!

So easy and set in an interesting way. Very well covered

The lecture series was great over all but I was wondering if there’s an anion gap lecture regarding the calculations needed to identify a widened gap as well as the delta-delta equations. And if so why isn’t it part of the acid-based series?

Really well done! It’s very helpful to recall and reinforce basic concepts.

Ver clear good graphics explained simply good questions best lectures

great lecture, i have been a doctor for a decade but nice to review this topic with such a brilliant lecuture. Thank you so much for your help.

This review, expose the useful tools Anion GAP and Osmolar GAP, it is easy and complete.

Beautifully described. Clear and concise presentation. Your all lectures are brilliant

Concept clearly explained. The professor is very thorough in the description of acid base balance.

I liked the analogy of the gnomes in order to remember what are the causes of acid base disorders.

Excellent, really like the Acid-Base box method and will definitely incorporate that into my exam technique and eventual future practice!

Loved it . High yield and to the point the lecturer was very clear and the quiz at the end of the lectures were very helpful

It is a good way to learn about Acid-base balance

This is completely inadequate for the questions posed. The first question gives "you observed red gnomes outside the box on the left for both pH and HCO3" and asks for the condition. Verbatim from the lecture ‘’Respiratory alkalosis’’. Why? Cos there are two gnomes on one side." Yet the answer is metabolic acidosis.

It was vvvv nice thanks Nicely explained and easy to recall

I always had problems understanding this topic and I always got confused, especially with the last big summarizing diagram. However, this whole lecture helped me to get through it, therefore I can not be thankful enough.

Excellent teaching communicating principles and important details at perfect pace.

Mr. Pickering is a highly professional lecturer. He explains complex definitions quite simply and understandably. It is a great pleasure for me to receive this knowledge from Mr. Pickering

before I read the book but didn't get the concept. This lecture gave me the understanding of this high yield topic.

Amazing course. It really makes you understand acid-base balance.

Excellent lecture. Clear explanation moves step by step with many examples.

Really solid course taking you through the basics of acid base balance and disturbances as well as a great method for figuring out clinical cases with ease. Bravo Dr Wilson for this fantastic set of lectures

I really liked that it gives you the information you need and the way the lecturer explains is very clear and easy way.

Nicely explained. The Prof. Has exceptional abilities to explain complex concepts

very good and excellent lecture.i like it.very good presentation

Clean and clear. Simple explanations. He knows the subject for sure.

Very first time that I have understood completely acid base balance/ pathology. Beautifully explained!

The mechanism just summarises all the information into one picture

Never Understood this concept so easily until Dr. Wilson explained it on this forum.

Never understood this much better than today! Thanks a lot for for doing this.

Dr. Wilson, you are my hero, you made this concept of acid base balance so easy for the first time in my life. Thank you so much!!

Brilliant lectures, really helped to consolidate my learning. The associated test questions are a pain in the ass though, please supply a reference range with the question... we use different ranges (units) over this side of the pond :0)

It explains the most important aspects of acid-base disorders and gives good examples for us to understand the concepts. I personally liked his explanations very much.

the acid base balance section was great. clear, precise and the acid base box just made it all click. Fantastic!

Cool. Great examples, Should have showed how the equilibrium of the equation changes once there's acid base disturbance, and how does the compensation is predicted. For me it's much easier than the graphs.

I never would've thought such a complex respiratory concept would be simplified by a bunch of colored garden gnomes. Thanks Dr. Wilson!

it's amazing the example with the gnoms thank you !! easy to learn

The use of the acid-base box made this topic so easy Thanks

Finally understood the anion gap!! Thank you! The chart with the green red and blue midgets I found very funny and creative and even if I took this course several months ago, I still remember perfectly the chart because of them!

On the slide about respiratory compensation for metabolic acidosis, the compensation slope with decrease Pco2 level has a PCO2 value of 60 which should be 20. Becauase in respiratory Compensation for MA PCO2 slightly decreases That is just a typo, but can been confusing The lecture itself is very good

I loved the whole course! I finally could understand a topic that is so frustrating for me to understand and also remember in time! Dr Tad is an awesome lecturer! I lo ve the way he explains everything

The material as presented is easy to follow and comprehend

Easy to learn using the box. I always struggled with this, even on my board exam. This box and explanation made it much easier for me as a visual learner.

I found this course to be very helpful to organize my knowledge about this topic. It also clarified to me some concepts that I had not fully understood in lectures.

Good lecturer, though compared to common youtube lectures, most of the material is covered too superficially to really retain much, although the gnome chart was helpful for myself. Future lectures could give just a bit more detail to help the bigger picture ideas stick.

blue ,red gnomes ,suoer ,really good lecture,clarified,simplified,nice

The acid base box helped me alot and the lecturer is brilliant

Dr. Wilson does an excellent job in breaking down concepts of acid-base balance in the body and making it plain. He also provides some additional tricks/tools that you may not get in your regular lectures, but will definitely help on an exam. These lectures are top notch, just excellent!

Very good explnation ! very easy to understand. I like Acide-Base toolbox. Many thanks :)

Accurate, slow enough to understand, and he gives concrete examples that clarify each concept. Keep it coming.
