![]() ![]() He talks about the importance of ordering a metabolic panel for patients. Smith explains parts of the metabolic panel and how it connects to liver functions. He explains how a viral pathology goes from blood to CSF. Smith compares assessing cerebrospinal fluid, or CSF, to urinalysis. He explains tests and lab values and how they can detect infection and inflammation. Smith talks about the causes and symptoms of UTIs. He talks about the difference between CKMB and other markers. Smith explains cardiac marker CKMB and how it is used to detect infarction. He explains the connections between liver health and clotting. Smith talks about advantages and disadvantages of using platelet counts. Smith talks about the likelihood of seeing and treating infections. There are five types of white blood cells, which fight different infections. He talks about how to measure reticulocyte index and the possible dangers of transfusions. Smith talks about the difference between red blood cell production and loss. He explains how to spot anemia using lab values. He talks about the different types of anemia, such as iron deficiency. Smith talks anemia and how it relates to red blood cells. He explains the normal lab values for blood. Smith introduces the three blood functions: oxygen delivery, fighting infection, and homeostasis clotting. He portrays the importance of seeing the reasoning behind treatment methods. Smith goes through a metabolic panel case study about a patient with Alzheimer's. He explains the connections between renal problems and morphine usage. Smith explains how to identify a case study for a morphine overdose using a metabolic panel. He gives rules for treating diabetic ketoacidosis. Smith asks the audience to identify a blood gas patient scenario as a metabolic panel case study. He explains the physiology behind the numbers. ![]() Smith has the class find the blood gas levels on their own by determining the compensations, cause, and pH status for patients. He provides examples for finding blood gas. He takes about the importance of finding out the compensation, cause, and pH status. Smith outlines a simple way to interpret blood gas values. He takes about using lab values to understand other symptoms, such as kidney problems. Smith explains the different types of acidosis and how they relate to pH. He applies the four rules for understanding lab values to pH and bicarb monitoring. Smith explains that pH looks at bicarb base deficit on blood gases. He outlines the importance of understanding the connections between organ systems. Smith explains the connection between cardiac output and CO2 circulation. ![]() He provides examples of how to apply the lab values to a patient. Smith applies the four rules of understanding lab values to ventilation and carbon dioxide. He outlines the difference between oxygenation and ventilation. He talks about seeing the connections between lab values and patient symptoms. Smith explains managing desaturation and gives examples of ways to improve it. He provides examples to better explain how understanding lab values can help combat diseases, such as sepsis. Smith applies the four rules of a systematic approach to lab values to the measurement of oxygenation. Blood Gases and Oxygenation (21:52)īlood gases measure oxygenation, ventilation, and pH. He provides the four rules he uses to ensure everything is handled correctly and applies them to a patient scenario. Smith explains his systematic approach to lab values. He explains the importance of being proactive instead of reactive when it comes to lab values and talks about the importance of a systematic approach. Smith talks about the importance of seeing and understanding the underlying physiology in patient care situations. He outlines the focuses and topics of his presentation. Physiology educator Sean Smith introduces his background and experience working in lab organization.
