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.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e How to use this book\u003cbr\u003e Abbreviations\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e Drugs: An A-Z Guide\u003cbr\u003e Prescribing using generic or brand names\u003cbr\u003e Routes of administration\u003cbr\u003e Loading dose\u003cbr\u003e Drug metabolism\u003cbr\u003e Enzyme systems\u003cbr\u003e Drug excretion\u003cbr\u003e Drug tolerance\u003cbr\u003e Drug interactions\u003cbr\u003e Therapeutic drug monitoring\u003cbr\u003e Target range of concentration\u003cbr\u003e Pharmacology in the critically ill\u003cbr\u003e Body weight\u003cbr\u003e Cardiopulmonary resuscitation\u003cbr\u003e Drugs in advanced life support\u003cbr\u003e Management of acute major anaphylaxis\u003cbr\u003e Management of acute severe hyperkalaemia\u003cbr\u003e Management of malignant hyperthermia (MH)\u003cbr\u003e Sedation, analgesia and neuromuscular blockade\u003cbr\u003e Opioid conversion table\u003cbr\u003e Antiretroviral drugs: alternatives for swallowing difficulties\u003cbr\u003e Management of status epilepticus\u003cbr\u003e Prevention of delirium tremens and alcohol withdrawal syndrome\u003cbr\u003e Prevention of Wernicke–Korsakoff syndrome\u003cbr\u003e Anti-arrhythmic drugs\u003cbr\u003e Inotropes and vasopressors\u003cbr\u003e Bronchospasm\u003cbr\u003e Anti-ulcer drugs\u003cbr\u003e Corticosteroids\u003cbr\u003e Heparin induced thrombocytopaenia\u003cbr\u003e NOAC\/DOAC\u003cbr\u003e Guidelines for patients with absent or dysfunctional spleen\u003cbr\u003e Anti-microbial drugs\u003cbr\u003e Bacterial gram staining\u003cbr\u003e Antibiotics: sensitivities\u003cbr\u003e Alterations to drug dosing in renal dysfunction and Haemo(dia)filtration\u003cbr\u003e Chemical pleurodesis of malignant pleural effusion\u003cbr\u003e Hyponatraemia \u0026amp; SIADH Diagnosis and Management\u003cbr\u003e Fluoroquinolone antibiotics: new restrictions and precautions for use\u003cbr\u003e Suspected sepsis\u003cbr\u003e Appendix A: creatinine clearance\u003cbr\u003e Appendix B: citrate based anticoagulation for renal replacement therapy\u003cbr\u003e Appendix C: body mass index (BMI) calculator\u003cbr\u003e Appendix D: lean body weight charts\u003cbr\u003e Appendix E: estimated height from ulna length\u003cbr\u003e Appendix F: infusion rate\/dose calculation\u003cbr\u003e Appendix G: drug compatibility chart\u003cbr\u003e Appendix H: sodium content of oral medications\u003cbr\u003e Appendix I: drug management of the brain-stem-dead donor\u003cbr\u003e Appendix J: vancomycin by continuous infusion\u003cbr\u003e Appendix K: Child-Pugh score\u003cbr\u003e Appendix L: insulin guidelines\u003cbr\u003e Drug index\u003cbr\u003e Compatibility chart.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Anaesthetics [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Anaesthetics\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Anaesthetics%20%5BMMB%5D%22\"\u003eMMB\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52173700989208,"sku":"9781009429696","price":25.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781009429696i.jpg?v=1781167490","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/handbook-of-drugs-in-intensive-care-volume-1-an-a-z-guide-paperback-softback-9781009429696","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
