Quick Reference Pocket Guide for Medical Students by N S Ramachandra Gupta

In this rapidly pacing world of medicine, it is important to keep balance between basics and recent advances. It is impossible for human brain to remember every thing and to put into practice exactly when required. Often at times of emergency we are forced to run for a reference book.
This book is exactly intended for quick reference of various medical topics at a hand stretch distance.
Most of the criteria for diagnosis, formulae, doses of commonly used drugs in ICUs and management of some of the important emergency conditions are compactly kept in a gentle display. I believe this book will help the post graduates and interns attending emergencies, enormously, especially when they need to take quick decisions, making it a must to carry book in everyone’s pocket.

• The Chapter on Critical Care includes formulae on fluids and electrolytes, which are very useful for the post graduates and clinicians practicing in the ICUs.
