Description

This comprehensive and practical guide demonstrates how to perform the clinical calculations used in each area of the laboratory to ensure accurate patient results. The book's three major sections cover basic mathematical principles, calculations for specific areas of the clinical laboratory, and statistical calculations used to test instrument performance. Each chapter addresses a particular mathematical calculation, and the well-organized format emphasizes an in-depth understanding of these calculations rather than straight memorization. Step-by-step examples reinforce the overall concepts, and calculation "templates" ensure correct calculations every time.

  • Focuses the reader's attention with a general introduction to each mathematics calculation, its theoretical and practical applications, and a detailed review with examples and practice problems.
  • Makes exercises easier to understand by highlighting the progression of the calculation to the answer in a second colour. An answer key at the end of the book provides detailed rationales for all calculation solutions.
  • Contains calculation "templates" at the end of each chapter for a quick reference on how to solve problems.
  • Reviews basic mathematics principles including the metric system, temperature conversions, and logarithms.
  • Covers commonly utilized clinical laboratory calculations such as molarity, dilutions, and concentration for a better understanding of clinical laboratory mathematics.
  • Discusses specific calculations used in chemistry, urinalysis, hematology, immunohematology, and microbiology making it easier to find information about individual lab areas.
  • Defines specific topics relating to basic statistical concepts such as standard deviation, linear regression, and method comparison using a step-by-step approach.
