Shock is a critical condition caused by an imbalance between cellular oxygen supply and demand, leading to organ dysfunction. Compensatory responses include increased heart rate, vasoconstriction, and hormonal adjustments. Recognizable features of shock include tachycardia, hypotension, cool clammy

Aspirin toxicity, though decreasing in incidence, can still result in severe consequences such as metabolic acidosis, seizure, and even death. This condition is often underestimated due to lack of familiarity with its clinical presentation. Treatment focuses on maintaining salicylate in the ionized

Many critical illnesses can disrupt acid-base balance, indicating underlying diseases or organ damage. Interpretation of disturbances requires analyzing arterial blood gases, plasma electrolytes, and compensatory mechanisms. Acid-base disorders are classified into respiratory acidosis, respiratory a

Shock is a state of low tissue perfusion leading to metabolic changes like anaerobic metabolism and acidosis. As cellular hypoxia progresses, immune and coagulation responses are activated, impacting cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, and endocrine systems. Shock can be classified into hypovolaemic

Local Anesthetics (LAs) are drugs that abolish sensations like pain in specific body areas by blocking nerve conduction of sensory impulses. This process involves reducing the influx of sodium ions, preventing membrane depolarization, and inhibiting action potential conduction. LAs are weak bases wi

Hyperglycemic crises such as Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) and Hyperglycemic Hyperosmolar State (HHS) are life-threatening emergencies characterized by severe hyperglycemia and metabolic imbalances. DKA involves absolute or near-absolute insulin deficiency leading to ketone body production and systemi

Malignant Hyperthermia (MH) is a genetic disorder of skeletal muscle triggered by certain anesthetics, leading to a hyper-metabolic state. The uncontrolled release of calcium results in muscle rigidity, metabolic acidosis, hyperthermia, and other serious complications. MH was first described in the

Maple Syrup Urine Disease (MSUD) is a metabolic disorder affecting the breakdown of branched-chain amino acids, leading to severe symptoms like physical and mental retardation, sweet-smelling urine, and metabolic acidosis. Treatment involves dietary restrictions and potential gene therapy. Albinism,

Acid-base balance disorders manifest as metabolic and respiratory imbalances with distinct characteristics. Respiratory acidosis, a common condition, stems from impaired alveolar ventilation, leading to elevated CO2 levels and decreased pH. It can be acute or chronic, each presenting unique features

Haemorrhage in surgery is a critical phenomenon leading to hypovolaemic shock, trauma-induced coagulopathy, and other complications. It involves ongoing bleeding, hypoperfusion, acidosis, and hypothermia, exacerbating the condition. Classification includes revealed and concealed haemorrhage, with pr

Acid-base disorders, involving acidosis and alkalosis, are common in clinical practice. These conditions are characterized by changes in pH levels, with acidemia (pH < 7.35) and alkalemia (pH > 7.45) representing acidosis and alkalosis, respectively. The primary causes of these imbalances lie within
