The new edition of this bestselling book has been fully updated and expanded, with additional contributions from experts in the field, to include all new drugs available to the anaesthetists and intensive care specialist. Coverage of basic pharmacological principles, so vital to understanding how individual drugs actually have their effects, has been expanded, and more space has also been devoted to antibiotics, an important area with hospital infections becoming increasingly prevalent. As a value-for money package, Pharmacology for Anaesthesia and Intensive Care is unbeatable. It continues to provide its readers with the clearest, most concise and comprehensive coverage of all aspects of pharmacology for junior and trainees anaesthetists (particularly those sitting the FRCA primary examination), critical care nurses and all healthcare professionals working in theatre, accident and emergency departments or intensive care units.
