    Thank you Armando, this is a clear explanation. Have you done a video for Hyperglycemic Hyperosmolar Nonketotic Coma? Another (unrelated) video that I would like to suggest is about autonomic dysreflexia. I find your videos helpful and use them in my teaching in paramedic class. Keep up the good work.

    I’d advise you to do a VBG when checking the metabolic state of a patient as it makes more sense, perform an ABG when assessing for gaseous exchange or when suspecting respiratory acidosis or alkalosis.
    Metabolic state- VBG
    Respiratory state- ABG

    Hey, a great video I enjoyed the content. As a type 2 I find it is always good to keep learning. I have found these natural diabetic support management capsules to be a great help in stabilizing my BS levels…. They really work wonders.

    How do you perform this quickly in a home setting, when the patient often fluctuates in blood glucose levels? sometimes its hard to tell exactly what is going on because the patient has a history of being very unstable in the diabetes.

    great video , thank u so much for all your videos .
    you say that sometimes we give calcium gluconate to protect the heart from hypokalemia induced arrythmias
    I think you mean *hyperkalemia induced arrythmias instead of *hypokalemia
    Am I right ?

      “K” can be a killer. Both Hyper and hypokalaemia can trigger arrhythmias.
      Hypokalaemia can prolong QT interval and even lead to TDP.
      On the other hand you can get the peaked T waves, widening of QRS and lead to blocks, VT, etc.
