Short description
In everyday practice, anaesthetists can make use of a wide range of drug treatments, and require readily available and accessible information on the appropriate drug to use in any given situation.
The second edition of Drugs in Anaesthesia and Intensive Care quickly established itself as an essential reference text for all anaesthetists, both trainees and consultants. The third edition of this book includes information on many new drugs, with information on many others revised. The book describes the pharmacokinetics and pharmodynamics of all the drugs commonly used by anaesthetists, all organised so as to allow rapid access to specific information on the properties and characteristics of almost 200 drugs.
