This portable shirt-pocket guide offers medical and nursing professionals an easy-to-use, reliable, compact, and inexpensive way to check critical care drugs and their dosages. The book features about 500 of the most commonly used generic critical care and emergency drugs in alphabetical order. Shaded bars and the use of bold-face type help prescribers get the most important information--dosages for specific indications--for every drug quickly. Every drug entry covers the same information in the same way: generic and trade drug names, pregnancy risk category, controlled substance schedule (if applicable), dosage forms, indications, and dosages. New ACLS guidelines, ECG interpretations, therapeutic drug monitoring guidelines, and drug comparisons are included.
