Title Reviews

"This excellent pocket-sized handbook, which can be read at one sitting, is an object lesson in clarity. This really is arterial blood gases made easy. This is a thoughtfully designed book, which is very pleasing to the eye and, in the best possible way, easy on the brain! This book … covers a lot of ground in a short and highly accessible read that should instil real confidence in most, if not all, clinical circumstances." acutecaretesting.org
