Sample Syllabus

Inside the Course

The final syllabus may evolve before launch, but this is the shape of it.

  1. 01

    The 60-Second System

    pH, CO2, bicarbonate, in the same order, every time. Why skipping the order is how people miss things.

  2. 02

    Acute or Chronic

    Compensation rules without a formula sheet. What the kidneys and lungs can and cannot fix.

  3. 03

    The Anion Gap

    When to calculate it, when to correct it, and the gaps people forget.

  4. 04

    Hypoxemia in Practice

    The A-a gradient without the algebra. Shunt, dead space and what changes at the bedside.

  5. 05

    Mixed Disorders

    Spotting the second disorder hiding behind the first one.

  6. 06

    Cases from Real Shifts

    DKA, COPD, salicylate poisoning, protracted vomiting, sepsis. Full walkthroughs.

  7. 07

    Pitfalls

    Venous samples, air bubbles, delayed processing and lab error. When not to trust the numbers.
