Most subjects in clinical physiology are difficult to understand. In a day and age where the multi-tasking health provider’s time is precious and attentionspan short, it is necessary to retain focus on the aspects of clinical medicine which truly matter; at the same time it is more rewarding to build up difficult concepts in a stepwise manner. Medium sized handbooks are increasingly becoming popular. The purpose of this book is to acquaint the reader with blood gas/acid-base interpretation. There is a strong thread of pulmonary and renal physiology running through the text; an attempt has been made to simplify concepts and explain the whys and hows in health and disease. The book is almost exclusively set out in the form of flow-diagrams/algorithms. The treatment of the subject in this format, describing processes in logical steps should make it easy for the reader to cover a difficult-and sometimes dreaded- subject rapidly. Book is composed almost exclusively of flow-diagrams and pathways: this makes it reader friendly Focuses on the issues of clinical importance, and excludes issues that are of marginal relevance for the clinician Written with the awareness that medical personnel practising in ICUs are time-constrained: thisbook should be capable of being read rapidly
