DESCRIPTION

DESCRIPTION

Pharmacology and Physiology in Anesthetic Practice is a focused review of how these areas are applied to clinical anesthesiology. This title gives a comprehensive review of how anesthetic drugs work in the human body and provides foundational content in the field of anesthesiology.

Understanding pharmacology as it applies to the function of anesthesthetic drugs is crucial to learning how to be an anesthesiologist; understanding how physiology interacts with the drugs you are administering is just as important. This handbook follows the chapter headings of its parent textbook. Figures and tables are used extensively to summarize key points and dosages, making the book easy to use in the OR. A separate drug index makes looking up individual drugs fast and easy.
