Synopsis:
Fluids, Electrolytes, and Acid-Base Balance Made Clear
Finally understand the topic students find most confusing
Fluid and electrolyte balance sits at the center of patient care. Every patient admitted to intensive care is screened for these imbalances, because when sodium, potassium, calcium, or acid-base levels drift out of range, the effects are immediate and serious.
This book takes a subject most students memorize but rarely understand and rebuilds it as a framework that finally makes sense.
What is inside
• How fluids, electrolytes, and the acid-base system are regulated, and why they are so tightly interconnected
• Why a shift in one electrolyte almost always disturbs the others, and how acid-base disorders drive electrolyte imbalances
• The signs and symptoms of every major imbalance, so you can recognize them at the bedside
• Clear management approaches for correcting each disturbance
• A closing chapter on the common medical conditions that produce severe, life-threatening imbalances
• End-of-chapter summaries for fast review before exams or rounds
• Practice exercises so you can test your recall and confirm it stuck
Who it is for
Medical students, nursing students, PA students, and any healthcare professional who wants a firm, working command of fluids, electrolytes, and acid-base balance, from the underlying physiology to bedside management.
Read the labs with confidence, spot the imbalance, and know exactly what to do next.
