this book saved me
I read this book in 1961, during the summer following my second year of medical school. The Henderson-Hasselbach equation was written in negative logarhythms.And who thinks in terms of negative logarythms!!??
The book is a masterpiece of logical and clear exposition.By the time I finished, I had transformed from a confused student to an expert on the topic! ... Read more

Product Description
"Human Acid-Base Physiology" is written for pre-clinical medical students and other physiology students of equivalent standard. It is a logical, self-contained text which explains the fundamentals of common clinical disorders of acid-base regulation. The book covers physical chemistry, the essentials of acid-base physiology, the assessment of acid-base status, and finally the field of acid-base physiology is put into perspective in the wider context of the physiology of the whole organism. The book provides a physiological basis from which subsequent clinical studies should form a continuum with Basic Medical Science. The main points developed in the text are gathered in tables, for review and revision purposes. There is a substantial section of self-assessment material, with a range of types of question allowing the testing both of the ability to analyse concepts and of factual information. The text is complemented by original line drawings and key references. A glossary of terms is provided to help readers to understand the jargon of the subject and to check definitions etc.This book should be of interest to physiology courses for pre-clinical medical and dental students; university students in the Faculty of Science studying courses in physiology; students who have studied the course in the past, never come to terms with it and wish to start afresh, perhaps because of a need demanded by a specialism they have taken up, such as intensive care; honours science students following courses which include specialist treatment of acid-base physiology; medical students in their clinical years following courses in clinical physiology; and postgraduate doctors studying for the MRCP and MRCA qualifications. ...

Treatment of Water, Electrolyte, and Acid-Base Disorders in
Effectively written to encourage learning and referencing. Content is accurate and understandable for clinicians and students.This book covers an area of information that is not frequently studied by clinicians in depth.The material is provided through research and experience by the authors. This book is written to be a pocket sized reference for casual and direct reference.Very good effort.I have found it useful as a continual reference for over 10 years.

Concise, pocket-sized, and full of easy-to-follow info
As a hospital pharmacist, I highly recommend this book to any medical/pharmacy/nursing student, resident, or acute care practicing physician, pharmacist, or nurse.The authors provide highly relevant anduseful information on the proper use of fluids and electrolytes inhospitalized surgical patients.Many of their dosing recommendations can'tbe found in commonly available drug information compendia but arenever-the-less consistent with the standards of care.This book deservesto be part of any hospital medical library, preferably in the pharmacy andon the ward/unit, accessible to those managing surgical patients. ...
