This review is from: Handbook of Fluid, Electrolyte and Acid Base Imbalances (Paperback)

I love this book! Had to teach F & E and Acid-Base after a couple of years away from it--and this book really solidified my knowledge. Author nails the key points, gives great examples, and helped me teach the concepts to my students far better than did the textbook we were using. This book can be used for basics as well as advanced concepts. Wish I would have had it back when I was a student! Very helpful.
