Acid-Base, Fluids, and Electrolytes

This is the most convenient, easy-to-use resource available on one of the most fundamental issues in inpatient management. The authors of McGraw-Hill's critically-acclaimed Nephrology in 30 Days extracted the most clinically relevant information on acid base and electrolyte disorders from that great resource and streamlined it for use at the point-of-care with a bulleted format and plenty of tables.
