Summary
This week we reviewed a series of ECGs and discussed management of these rhythms. We decided to push the acid-base discussion back a week to give everyone a chance to read a little more about the various methods of evaluating acid-base status. October 9th we will focus on the various methods of acid-base assessment.
Here are the notes from the session Oct 2 session:
