This essential guide continues to provide invaluable information on using medications safely and effectively in the intensive care setting. Split into two sections, the first being an A-Z guide to the drugs available and concise notes on the key topics and scenarios faced on a daily basis. This section provides succinct information on each drug including uses, administration directions and adverse effects. The second section details practice guidelines on areas such as drug dosing in renal failure and haemofiltration, Parkinson's disease therapy when nil-by-mouth and insulin therapy. This new edition features an array of new drug monographs alongside thorough updates to existing monographs, guidelines and the unique IV compatibility table, which allows readers to identify compatible and non-compatible drugs combinations. Presented in a concise, compact format, this book is an invaluable resource for doctors, pharmacists, nurses, advanced clinical practitioners, and other professionals caring for critically ill patients.
