DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
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.
