Pharmacotherapeutics in Critical Care is a first-of-its-kind, comprehensive drug compilation built specifically for the pharmacological complexity of critical illness. The interplay of multiple organ dysfunctions, extracorporeal support, unique critical-illness pathophysiology, and multi-drug regimens makes drug selection in the ICU genuinely difficult — this 728-page reference distills that complexity into a crisp, standardized, drug-by-drug template covering 20 chapters of intensive care pharmacotherapy.
Every drug is presented in the same standard format for fast, consistent lookup, with a dedicated special section on ECMO and other extracorporeal therapies and a particular emphasis throughout on Pk-Pd (pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic) behaviour — the exact information an intensivist needs to adjust dosing safely in the critically ill.
Who This Book Is For:
Practicing Intensivists: a fast, standardized drug reference built for decision-making at the bedside, including at odd hours.
Critical Care Fellows and Residents: a structured way to learn ICU pharmacotherapy beyond what general pharmacology textbooks cover.
Anesthesiologists and OT Practitioners: drug guidance relevant to perioperative and critical-care crossover scenarios.
Why This Book Helps:
Simplifies a genuinely complex decision: untangles multi-organ dysfunction, extracorporeal support, and drug interactions into one consistent format.
Saves time under pressure: a crisp, standardized template designed for quick lookup by an intensivist working at odd hours.
Covers a critical, often-underserved area: a dedicated section on drug management during ECMO and extracorporeal therapies.
Improves dosing safety: consistent emphasis on Pk-Pd behaviour throughout, not just standard dosing tables.
