Product Description This practical reference was developed to meet the needs of critical care and emergency nurses, physicians, and pharmacists in administering complex drugs given by IV infusion. Presented in an easy-to-use handbook format, it contains information on how to dose and administer complex and commonly used critical care drugs. Each drug is listed with information about what its most common uses are, how to prepare the drug infusion for patient administration, the most common dosages, the most common warnings and adverse reactions, compatibility with other drug infusions, and general nursing considerations. One of its most unique features is the inclusion of calculation factors. Dosing charts allow the healthcare professional to quickly determine the appropriate dose in a matter of seconds. Drip Rate Calculation Charts and Dosing Charts allow the user to quickly see how to mix and prepare drugs that are usually needed by patients on an immediate, urgent basis. Covers 44 of the most common intravenous infusion critical care drugs. Calculation factors for each drug are unique, simplifying an otherwise complicated process and substantially reducing the chance of medication errors. Includes Nursing Considerations for each drug. This reference is not only useful for critical care nurses, but also general medicine or general surgical nurses, hospital pharmacists, physicians, cardiologists, anesthesiologists, and emergency room physicians. Blank pages in the back of the book allow readers to take notes for quick reference.

Reviews

Excellent resource for Emergency & Critical Care Nurses As an emergency RN, I need to be able to find IV drug and drip information quickly in an easy to use format. This book is the best I've found.
Critical Care Intravenous Infusion Drug Handbook I have found this book to be very useful when working.The medications are easy to find and there are handy charts to help with drug calculations. The information is concise and laid out easily for the nurse to reference.
The Best Little Handbook In Texas I have been an ICU nurse for 10 years. This little book has become my bible. It is a quick reference guide not bogged down by "non-nursing stuff". The Compatibility guides are invaluable. I just bought the 3rd edition, donating my dogeared 2nd edition to our "med room" The only criticism I have is that it would be helpful if the author referenced half lifes of the drugs. Other than that this handbook is a gem.
Critical Care Intravenous Infusion Drug Handbook Great book to use in the ICU! It has come in very handy when I have multiple drips to run. It allows me to see compatibilities with other drips and the nursing implications in a nutshell! It is concise and accurate. Thanks!
Good reference This is a very good reference. Has basically all drugs used in ICU and ACLS with drip calculation tables. good descriptions of the drugs and in larger print as well which makes finding things a lot easier.
