This book very clearly explains the basics of acid base equilibrium, abnormalities of acid base in the body and compensatory mechanisms for these abnormalities. Topics are well classified with an index in the beginning, and most aspects of blood gas analysis are covered.

Print quality is good and language is simple to understand. The case studies at the end of the book improve understanding of application of knowledge of acid-base analysis in clinical scenarios.

Overall, it is a valuable addition to books for physicians, pediatricians and intensivists and particularly, residents in these branches.
