Handbook of Blood Gas/Acid-Base Interpretation
2nd Edition 2013, 293 illus. in color., Softcover
- Book is composed almost exclusively of flow-diagrams and pathways: this makes it reader friendl
- Focuses on the issues of clinical importance, and excludes issues that are of marginal relevance for the clinician
- Written with the awareness that medical personnel practising in ICUs are time-constrained: this book should be capable of being read rapidly
- Clear and concise explanations are provided about the mechanisms operative in health and disease
Analysis of blood gas can be a daunting task, but it is still one of the most helpful laboratory tests in managing respiratory and metabolic disorders. Busy medical students have struggled ineffectively with Hasselbach’s modification of the Henderson equation, been torn between the Copenhagen and the Boston schools of thought; and lately, been confronted with the radically different strong-ion approach.
In modern medical practice, the health provider’s time is precious, stressing the importance of retaining focus on those aspects of clinical medicine that truly matter. It makes sense to adopt an ‘algorithmic’ approach to studying topics that are often harder to understand, such as those rooted in clinical physiology. This book is therefore set out in the form of a logical sequence of flow charts, introducing and gradually building upon the underlying concepts and enabling greater opportunity to memorize individual concepts. It enables medical students, residents, nurses and respiratory care and intensive care practitioners to grasp the principles underlying respiratory and acid-base physiology quickly and to apply the concepts effectively in clinical decision making. To facilitate this, almost every section contained within has been designed to fit onto a single page.
Nurses and physicians in pulmonology and critical care, internal medicine, anaesthesia/ ICU; medical internists, pulmonologists, anaesthesists, critical care physicians, respiratory therapists
