Description
This volume, a title in the popular Lecture Notes series, achieves the almost impossible task of explaining fluid and electrolyte balance in a concise and logical manner for senior students and junior medical staff. The first part covers water, electrolyte and acid-base balance; the second, disturbances from an essentially practical point of view, in such circumstances as post-operative care and renal disease, and concludes with a chapter on setting up infusion lines. The second edition has been extensively revised and updated, and the layout and organization improved.
