Beschreibung

Analysis of blood gas can be a daunting task. However, it is still one of the most useful 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: it is crucial to retain focus on those aspects of clinical medicine that are of key importance. Adoption of an algorithm-based approach in the study of topics that are hard to understand (particularly those that are rooted in clinical physiology) can be extremely advantageous. Handbook of Blood Gas/Acid-Base Interpretation, 2nd edition, is organized in a logical sequence of flow charts that introduce concepts and gradually build upon them. This approach facilitates understanding and retention of the subject matter. 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 effectively in clinical decision making.

Zusammenfassung

Composed almost exclusively of reader-friendly flow-diagrams and pathways, focusing on issues of clinical importance and excluding issues that are of marginal relevance for the clinician

Written with the awareness that medical personnel practising in ICUs are time-constrained

Clear and concise explanations are provided about the mechanisms operative in health and disease, with the flow-diagram based approach making the material ideal for teaching

Includes supplementary material: [...]
