Henderson-Hasselbalch Tutorial

Author: Claire L. Price
🔗 Henderson-Hasselbalch Tutorial

Overview

This interactive workshop tool helps learners understand and apply the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation in clinical scenarios. It allows users to calculate: - pH - Bicarbonate (HCO₃⁻) - pCO₂

Each calculation comes with step-by-step explanations, example values, a quiz prompt, and clinical relevance summaries — making it ideal for classroom use, self-study, or medical training sessions.

Features

Select from three calculation types: pH, HCO₃⁻, or pCO₂
Load example cases (e.g., respiratory acidosis, metabolic alkalosis)
Step-by-step breakdown of each calculation
Built-in quiz prompts for learning reinforcement
Clinical relevance provided for interpretation and context
Responsive, browser-based design — no installation required

Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation

The core equation used in this tool is:

pH = 6.1 + log₁₀([HCO₃⁻] / (0.03 × pCO₂))

The equation is rearranged internally depending on the user’s choice of unknown variable.

Getting Started

Open the index.html file in any modern browser.
Choose what you want to calculate: pH, HCO₃⁻, or pCO₂.
Optionally, load a sample case to explore clinical examples.
Enter the known values.
Click Calculate to view:
- Result
- Calculation explanation
- Quiz question
- Clinical summary

Clinical Scenarios Included

Normal acid-base balance
Respiratory acidosis
Respiratory alkalosis
Metabolic acidosis (Winter’s formula)
Metabolic alkalosis

abstract: >
  The Acid-Base Balance Workshop is an interactive, browser-based teaching tool that guides users
  through Henderson-Hasselbalch-based acid-base calculations. It enables learners to calculate
  pH, bicarbonate (HCO₃⁻), or pCO₂ with step-by-step breakdowns, case examples, and embedded clinical relevance.
  Ideal for healthcare students, educators, and trainers seeking to make acid-base chemistry more intuitive and applied.
  Intended for educational use only.
