This is a no-nonsense guide to drug treatment in the intensive care unit.  It covers the most commonly encountered conditions and is organized by system.  Management of each condition is tersely outlined step-by-step in table format.  The book also includes non-drug information that is essential to making informed, evidence-based pharmacotherapy decisions, such as risk scores, scales, and assessment tools.   The Second Edition has been revised to reflect the latest critical care practice guidelines and up-to-date drug and non-drug information.
