Acid-Base Sandbox

Manipulate PaCO₂ and HCO₃⁻ in real time. Watch the Davenport plot reflect the underlying pH chemistry, hover to read any coordinate, and click an isobar to snap. Drag the patient point to set both axes at once.

Davenport Plot

Live · Interactive
pH (calculated) 7.40 Normal range
Primary disorder Normal No deviation
Anion gap (corr.) 12 Within normal
Compensation Adequate As expected

Interpretation

Normal acid-base balance
All values within reference range. The point lies inside the normal zone.

Mechanism & traps

Tune the sliders or pick a preset to see the engine commentary.

Case Library

USMLE-style clinical cases across all five acid-base patterns. Each case loads as a cinematic briefing with the patient avatar, the trap layer, and the next correct step.

Challenge Mode

Work through the six-step diagnostic ladder Anthropic-style. Each step locks the next until the engine confirms your reasoning.

Free ABG Explainer

Paste values from any patient. The engine returns a structured interpretation: primary disorder, expected compensation, AG, delta-ratio, osmolar gap and likely etiology direction.
