Critical care medicine is a cutting-edge medical field
that is highly evidence-based. Studies are continuously
published that alter the approach to patient care. As a critical
care clinician, I am aware of the tremendous commitment
required to provide optimal evidence-based care.
Pocket Guide to Critical Care Pharmacotherapy covers
the most common ailments observed in adult critically-ill
patients. I utilize an algorithmic, easy-to-follow, systematic
approach. Additionally, I provide references and web
links for many disease states, for clinicians who want to
review the available literature in greater detail.
The contents of this handbook should be utilized as a
guide and in addition to sound clinical judgment. Consult
full prescribing information and take into consideration
each drug’s pharmacokinetic profile, contraindications,
warnings, precautions, adverse reactions, potential drug
interactions, and monitoring parameters before use.
Every effort was made to ensure the accuracy of Pocket
Guide to Critical Care Pharmacotherapy. The author, editor,
and publisher are not responsible for errors or omissions
or for any consequences associated with the utilization
of the contents of this handbook.

The book covers the most common ailments observed in critically ill medical patients. It uses an algorithmic, easy-to-follow, step-by-step approach.
