Acid Base Basics - Delta Delta, Delta Gap, Delta Ratio (Explained Clearly!) | Clinical Medicine

In this podcast we dive into the Delta Delta, Delta Gap, and Delta Ratio. We explained what exactly this is and when it is useful. It is the next step after identifying a high anion gap metabolic acidosis. We will walk through the equations for the Delta Gap and Delta Ratio and talk about the difference between the two. We then go through what these equations mean as to identifying whether it is a mixed Normal Anion Gap and High Anion Gap Metabolic Acidosis or if there is a mixed High Anion Gap Metabolic Acidosis and Metabolic Alkalosis. Finally understand this confusing and often misunderstood topic!
