Preface to 1st Edition
The large and rapidly expanding field of anesthetic pharmacology has
witnessed a dramatic proliferation in drugs available to the anesthesiologist.
These drugs are administered as boluses or infusions by various routes
such as intravenous, sublingual, oral, rectal, intranasal, intrapleural,
transdermal, intraarticular, inhalational, epidural, caudal, spinal
etc.
The current state of the art requires an intimate familiarity with dosing
information and pharmacology for this plethora of new drugs, and new
indications/routes of administration for old drugs. This may be overwhelming
not only to the trainee but also to the seasoned practitioner. In the
urgency of the operating rooms or critical care units where there is
little room for error, there is a need for this pocket sized compendium
that enables the anesthesiologist to identify the best drug, its dose,
route of administration and side effects at a moments notice.
The Anesthesia Drug Handbook reviews basic fundamentals of pharmacology
and profiles the drugs and inhalational agents commonly used in anesthesia.
Rather than providing a comprehensive description, the focus is on selected
information required for proper use of each drug. The use of this drug
handbook requires a well-founded basic knowledge and practical experience,
which is essential for patient safety.
This handbook has been designed to fit the pocket of your operating
room gown or scrub suit. It is hoped that it will make the difference
in providing optimal patient care.
