Acid-Base, Fluids, and Electrolytes Made Ridiculously Simple Paperback – Big Book, 1 September 2017

A pesar de que tardó un tiempo en llegar, llegó en perfecto estado, sin usar, sin marcas y recién salido de producción, Me parece un poco caro para el tamaño pero fuera de eso, todo excelente.

Nice book for my daughter who is student medicine. Making the difficult acid-base stuff and electrolytes easy to understand. Top!

This book is GREAT for those who want a more in depth look at how fluids, electrolytes, and acid-base balance all intertwine. I used to work in dialysis, and I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is in that field. It explains (if you apply the knowledge to what you have learned about dialysis) why bicarb is bicarb... Exactly how it buffers since the kidney can't and a LOT more!!!For any other Field, this is the basis you will use every time you read a BMP/CMP. You will be able to look at he labs and the symptoms to determine which fluids to use. You will know why you chose that one... not just because "they always do," but because you will understand the reason that fluid is chosen and another is not.A lay person could read this and understand pretty good... but someone with basic medical training (EMT-B, MA, etc..) could read this book and learn a lot from it. At the same time as a RN/Paramedic with 17 yrs behind me, I am learning & relearning a lot of things. It ties things I have seen over the years together and they make more sense now.Summary: DEFINITELY worth the money!!! If you are in Med school or school for PA, ARNP, RN, or Paramedic, I highly recommend you read this book in what little free time you have. You will be happy you did!!!

This is an amazing book, I wish I had read it when I was in pa school! So succinct and helps with intuitive understanding of patient presentation. Make sure you work though the exercises at the end of each chapter!

This is a great book that puts things is easy to understand words. I think anyone from med student to nurse can benefit from this book.
