In everyday practice, anaesthetists can make use of a wide range of drug treatments, and require readily available and accessible information on the appropriate drug to use in any given situation. The first edition of "Drugs in Anaesthesia and Intensive Care" proved a valuable guide for trainee and practising anaesthetists, in instructing them on appropriate drug treatments. This new edition has been updated to take into account developments in clinical pharmacology, and includes information on several new drugs. The book describes the pharmacokinetics and pharmodynamics of all the drugs commonly used by anaesthetists. It includes easily accessible information on the properties and characteristics of 180 different drugs.
