Preface to 2nd Edition
This second edition is evidence of the rapidly changing field of anesthetic
pharmacology and the enormous success of the first edition. Information
on all drugs has been updated where applicable including information
on drug storage, current manufacturer and FDA warnings and guidelines.
Expanded dosing information has been provided on many of the drugs including
the muscle relaxants, narcotics and local anesthetics. The ACLS protocol
has been updated with the addition of a pediatric CPR table. New drugs
have been added including carboprost, EMLA, enalapril, insulin, ondansetron,
rocuronium and metaraminol. Readers who wish to obtain more information
on chronic pain drugs may consult The Pain Drug Handbook (Mosby). Finally,
I wish to welcome Dr.Tracy Charles who joins our team of consulting
editors and to thank Drs. Dennis Chambi and Glen P.K. Akiona for their
review and valuable suggestions.
Sota Omoigui, M.D.
