Synopsis

This unique two book set includes the ABG Pocket Guide and the ABG Instructional Guide. This innovative pocket guide promises to take health care professionals to that next level with interpretation and management of Arterial Blood Gases (ABG's).
Many people are tempted to think, "But I ALREADY KNOW how to interpret ABG's." Did you know there is a whole world beyond basic classification (acidosis versus alkalosis, metabolic versus respiratory)? This guide goes beyond classification to interpretation - including double and triple disorders, and easy understanding of anion and bicarbonate gaps - all of which play crucial roles in proper interpretation.
Complete with a comprehensive Instructional Guide, you will find yourself amazed at what you didn't know, and empowered with the new tools you pick up for true critical care management of today's complex patients.
