More a pharmacology summary than a drug reference for ICUJuly 24, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
The book is in the third edition, and has been updated but still misses out on some drugs used specifically in ITU's - such as Activated protein C, and clonidine as a sedative infusion. Most critically, the book does not give any information on the clearance of drugs through CVVHF or haemodialysis, which means that assessing drug dosages in patients on renal replacement requires referring to another book. There are other ITU drug books out there that are better for carrying around than this one
A really good bookDecember 11, 2006 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a really good book covering the drugs used in anaesthesia in a clear and concise way. It's great for exam revision (the layout is ideal and the detail about right for answering viva questions). But it's also good for use in real life. I would recommend you buy it if you're going to do exams or work in anaesthesia (or intensive care).
Excellent for quick referenceOctober 4, 2004 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
It is an invaluable tool for practising anaesthetists for a quick and concise reference on drugs. I found it helpful for study purposes as well as they provide most of the data asked at exams.
Excellent, The only drug book you will need.April 21, 2001 23 out of 24 found this review helpful
This book is indispensible for all medical practitioners working in ICU or Anaesthetics; especially useful for nursing staff as it includes all information required; from uptake, half lives, and removal of the drug by haemofiltration. Would make an excellent ward based learning resource!
