Recensione

"Dr. Abelow has an incredible ability to transform complex concepts into easy-to-read chapters on acid-base physiology and pathophysiology. He understands precisely where a reader may have difficulty grasping a particular topic and he uses a direct, almost conversational tone and simple graphics to crystallize the idea. I can't think of a better tool to introduce the subject to a medical student." - B. Peter Sawaya, M.D., Professor of Medicine, University of Kentucky, Fellowship Program Director, Division of Nephrology, Bone and Mineral Metabolism

"Excellent for nurses in acute, critical, and emergency care--and a superb study resource for certifying exams such as the CCRN, APRN, and CEN. Blood gas interpretation and the anion gap suddenly become easy to understand. The chapters on these topics alone are worth the price of the book. Students in acute care nurse practitioner programs will be grateful to teachers who introduce them to this book. Acid-base doesn't get any better than this."- Norma A. Metheny, Ph.D., RN, FAAN, Professor and Dorothy A. Votsmier Endowed Chair in Nursing, St. Louis University School of Nursing

"This book is the best way I know for medical students to learn acid-base. The writing is very clear and reader friendly. The illustrations and tables are excellent. The practice problems present clinical scenarios that every student must understand, and the detailed solutions are fantastic. The book provides an outstanding foundation for the boards and clinical rotations. Every medical student should read it." - Nicolaos E. Madias, M.D., The Maurice S. Segal, M.D. Professor of Medicine, Tufts University School of Medicine, Chair of the Department of Medicine, St. Elizabeth's Medical Center

"The Painless Guide to Mastering Clinical Acid-Base is excellent. The explanations are easy to read and apply at the bedside, and the book is separated into clear chapters that allow learners to find exactly what they need. I will recommend this book to all levels of clinicians and add it to my recommended list for my CCRN, PCCN, and CEN review courses. I will tell my advanced practice colleagues to do the same for their graduate students when they are preparing for their boards."- Carol A. Rauen, RN, MS, CCNS, CCRN, PCCN, CEN, Independent Clinical Nurse Specialist & Education Consultant

"Physician Assistant students will find this to be their go-to text for mastering acid-base. The inclusion of treatment concepts helps the learner to think about how to approach the patient with a specific acid-base disorder. Each chapter ends with a detailed summary, with the last chapter challenging one to put it all together through clinical case scenarios. Medical educators will also find this to be a great supplement to teaching acid-base disorders."- David Brissette, MMSc., PA-C, Assistant Professor, Associate, Program Director, Yale School of Medicine, Physician Associate Program

“Dr. Abelow discusses acid-base interpretation in an organized and understandable format that even the entry-level learner can follow. The price is right for this book to serve as the perfect companion to current cardiopulmonary physiology texts.”- Patricia G. Hyland, M.Ed., RRT, RT, Department Chair, Cardiorespiratory, Polysomnography and E.M.S. Programs, Hudson Valley Community College

"Acid-base is a difficult topic that bears repeated study.... This guide would be a great book for anyone just learning about acid-base, as well as anyone reviewing for certification examinations..."- Critical Care Nurse, Volume 36, no. 3, June 2016
