High-Yield™ Acid-Base (High-Yield Series) [Paperback]

J. Craig Longenecker (Author)

Book Description

ISBN-10: 0683303937 | ISBN-13: 978-0683303933 | Publication Date: June 15, 1998 | Edition: 1st

This book is not intended to replace the numerous other textbooks on acid-base or to provide a shortcut around the many hours of study required to understand acid-base syndromes as they relate to the broader context of medical illness. Rather, the goal of this book is to provide a bridge between the acid-base physiology taught in the classroom and the evaluation of the patient on the wards. This book will enable the reader to develop a practical and reasoned approach to the patient with an acid-base disorder.

As with most of books from the High-Yield series, this book gets to the core of the subject. The book is an easy and quick read and categorizes all the Acid-Base problems into an easily memorizable and understandable format

This review is from: High-Yield™ Acid-Base (High-Yield Series) (Paperback)

I've read the previous version, so I'm hoping that this edition will only be an improvement. This is a great review that takes complex acid base disorders and distills them down to an easy day read. In each chapter, there is a review of the key concepts and formulas and then practice cases to illustrate application of the material. All in all, this is a great review for those who need to think and act quickly and accurately about acid base disorders (ICU, Nephrology, etc.). Highly recommend.
