pH is basically bicarb over CO₂. so if bicarb goes down, pH goes down = metabolic acidosis. if CO₂ goes up, pH goes down = respiratory acidosis.

Am I missing something ? Wouldn’t just reading the labs give you this info if you think about it. Low co2 means you are exhaling co2 is an acid. Low acid = resp alkalosis. Compen in 24 hr. metabolic acidosis… or are there certain usmle step questions that need this formula ?

Sabine you’re a lifesaver!! Another hack is that all arrows point the same direction for compensated metabolic acidosis (down) and alkalosis (up), I literally never get confused with it :)

Love your content! Trying to get advice on how to treat this final week before step 2. Been in the 260s for NBME 13, 14, 15 and finally broke 270s on 16. What do you think I should do with my time remaining? Thanks for your help!

I've been struggling with detecting the primary disorder if is it metabolic or respiratory , definitely will try that

Also btw you don’t comp metabolic acidosis w resp acidosis. Metabolic acidosis is compensated by hyperventilating. Co2 is an acid.. you hyperventilate to blow it off therefore the comp is resp alkalosis.

Tuan Nguyen :
remember that winter's formula simply tells you that when a patient is in metabolic acidosis, whether or not the lungs are properly compensating. if the pco2 is higher than the formula, that means the lungs are not blowing off the CO2 as expected. if the pco2 is lower then calculated, it means The lungs are blowing off too much CO2. if it matches, then it means the lungs are properly compensating.
