Review
'The A-Z section provides concise information on each drug including indications, administration directions and adverse effects. I particularly like the 'how not to use' a drug which reminds me of some of the important things to avoid when a certain drug is used. the second section has concise descriptions ... there is a lot of useful information in this book that is not readily available in some bigger textbooks ... [the book] is value for money and will be invaluable to all ICU medical and nursing staff working in the intensive care unit.' Anaesethesia and Intensive Care --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Product Description
Numerous treatment options are available to intensive care staff; this requires detailed knowledge of routes of administration and contra-indications to use in certain clinical conditions. Now in its fourth edition, this concise, practical handbook to drugs and prescribing for intensive care gives up-to-date advice on established drugs as well as providing advice on those recently approved. The book is divided into two sections: an A-Z guide to many of the drugs available, with concise information on each drug, including uses, limitations, administration directions and adverse effects. The second section contains topics relevant to the critically ill patients, including factors that may affect drug prescribing and management of medical emergencies. There is also a key data section showing weight conversions, BMI and corresponding dosage calculations, and an invaluable chart indicating drug compatibility for IV administration. This is an invaluable resource for doctors, nurses, and pharmacists caring for critically ill patients.
