In anesthesia practice and treatment, pharmacology and therapeutics are intimately related, synergistic, and mutually reinforcing. Rapid advances in pharmacotherapy often offer myriad treatment options for clinicians to sort through when developing patient management strategies. In turn, the principles of clinical therapeutics are rooted in fundamental pharmacology. Clinicians must understand pharmacologic principles in order to formulate and implement therapeutic algorithms that maximize patient benefit. Pharmacology in Anesthesia Practice provides clinicians with a rapid and easy review of the most commonly utilized pharmacologic agents during perioperative care. Clinical application is emphasized throughout. It aims to offer clinicians point-of-care guidance from internationally recognized authors and centers of excellence. The purpose is to provide a quick and authoritative review of the pharmacology of medications routinely used in anesthesia practice. With an ever-increasing list of drugs, this book serves a very important purpose... Practicing anesthesiologists are the primary audience, but students and residents will find the book helpful as well. The book is written and edited by experienced clinicians who do the subject justice... The best part of the book is its brevity and clinical relevance. No words are wasted.
