Description
This highly popular book details drugs in anaesthesia and intensive care in an A-Z format. Written in a concise, bullet-point style to allow quick access to information, the book contains all necessary drug references for anaesthetists in training, consultant anaesthetists, intensive care nurses, and anaesthetic assistants.
This sixth edition includes a complete revision of all the featured drugs, the addition of key new drugs, and the removal of obsolete drugs. To aid specialist exam revision, this latest edition of Drugs in Anaesthesia and Intensive Care features diagrams of more drug structures and comparison tables to aid comparison of differences within a drug class.
Enhancements to the index have improved the searching for drugs that are found in a 'class' chapter rather than as an individual drug, enabling prompt discoverability of information.
