Description
This new, multi-contributed book is a comprehensive yet highly practical guide to pharmacology, with emphasis on its clinical application in anesthesia. As well as the traditional core information on drugs available to the anesthetist, it covers the implications of physiology/pathophysiology status of patients on the response to anesthetic intervention. Readability and user-friendliness are ensured throughout, with chapters structured according to a standard template and the use of original 2-color figures.
