Synopsis
Most subjects in clinical physiology are difficult to understand. In a day and age where the multi-tasking health provider's time is precious and attention span short, it is necessary to retain focus on the aspects of clinical medicine which truly matter; at the same time it is more rewarding to build up difficult concepts in a stepwise manner. Medium sized handbooks are increasingly becoming popular. The purpose of this book is to acquaint the reader with blood gas/acid-base interpretation. There is a strong thread of pulmonary and renal physiology running through the text; an attempt has been made to simplify concepts and explain the whys and hows in health and disease. The book is almost exclusively set out in the form of flow-diagrams/algorithms. The treatment of the subject in this format, describing processes in logical steps should make it easy for the reader to cover a difficult-and sometimes dreaded- subject rapidly.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Handbook of Blood Gas/Acid-Base Interpretation, 2nd edition, simplifies concepts in blood gas/acid base interpretation and explains in an algorithmic fashion the physiological processes for managing respiratory and metabolic disorders. With this handbook, medical students, residents, nurses, and practitioners of respiratory and intensive care will find it possible to quickly grasp the principles underlying respiratory and acid-base physiology, and apply them. Uniquely set out in the form of flow-diagrams/algorithms charts, this handbook introduces concepts in a logically organized sequence and gradually builds upon them. The treatment of the subject in this format, describing processes in logical steps makes it easy for the reader to cover a difficult- and sometimes dreaded- subject rapidly.
Revue de presse
From the reviews: "This is the first edition of a single author monograph describing the physiology of respiration and acid-base changes, diagnostic tests for evaluation, and their interpretation. ... Medical students, postgraduate trainees, and their teachers are an appropriate audience for this work ... . This is a unique, cohesive presentation which assembles not only a clinical strategy but a physiologic rationale --David J. Dries, Doody s Review Service, April, 2009
