This book is ideal for healthcare professionals involved in critical care, including intensivists, pharmacists, nurses, and medical students seeking to improve their understanding of pharmacological management in critically ill patients.

Focuses on the drugs used to treat the illness or injury in intensive care. This book addresses the other issue for those caring for the critically ill - how organ function will affect the drugs used, and how to adapt management accordingly. It includes principles of pharmacology; absorption, transport, and elimination of drugs.

Description

This book deals with how changes in organ function can affect the way the body handles drugs. Most books on this subject deal with how drug treatments affect organ function. Pharmacology of the Critically Ill approaches it from the other way round.

The information in this book will allow safer prescribing of drugs to critically ill patients. This is a clinical governance issue. Quality of care and quality of drug prescribing is vital to patient safety. With clinical governance and since the Audit Commission report on Intensive Care in the UK, this is even more spotlighted.
