Purpose/goals: The purpose of this session is to review the presentation of metabolic acidosis in the critically ill adult. Case studies will be used to illustrate the diagnostic pathways and treatment of specific common etiologies such as toxic alcohols, ketoacidosis, and lactic acidosis. Outcome 1: Understand the etiology and associated pathophysiology of metabolic acidosis. Outcome 2: Apply anion and osmolar gap calculations to determine etiology. Outcome 3: Review specific treatment strategies for common metabolic acidotic presentations including: toxic alcohols, ketoacidosis, lactic acidosis, renal failure, and drug toxidromes. Session description: Presentation of metabolic acidosis is a common underlying pathology that can be fatal if not quickly recognized and treated. At times, it can be challenging to determine the specific etiology. Identification and understanding of the anion and osmolar gaps are essential to determining etiologies. The critical care nurse needs to recognize and act rapidly when faced with the severely acidotic patient to prevent morbid complications including cardiovascular collapse. Case studies will be reviewed to allow you to gain an understanding of the pathophysiology of metabolic acidosis, identification of the etiologies, and management strategies to resolve the acidosis.
