Awesome book! I use this book very often. It was difficult for me to understand the basics from the beginning. However, when I read the step-by-step explanations in this book, I got it. I would advace this book to any student or practitioner.

I'm currently in school for respiratory care and was looking for a book with good case studies on ABG's. The way this book is laid out is great. Each chapter has 2 case studies and then the last chapter is all case studies. Each case study aims to teach you something a little different to look out for in the clinical setting and the blood gases almost always relates to the rest of the chapter.It's also an incredibly easy read. I'm not a big fan of just reading through a text book. In fact for most of my classes I never open my books, but I have found myself reading entire chapters and enjoying it.This book wasn't required nor recommended for any of my classes, I just purchased it for my own benefit. That being said, I think this book is really beneficial for anyone looking to improve there critical thinking skills when it comes to blood gases.

Book was excellent and had a lot of good information. Great clinical examples to help with getting a better understanding of how ABGs can interpret different scenarios.

one of the better blood gas books. it's well written and not a chore to read. it has good explanations without going into too much detail that you want to cry.

There is barely any highlighting in the book (i ordered it "like new" expecting wear and tear and usage. It was in much better shape than I expected and got here in record time!! I wish I could order all my books this carrier.

The book was exactly what I needed for my class. It had a few markings inside the book and it was very clear to read.
