Julie Golembiewski Anesthesiology & Critical Care Drug Handbook: Including Select Disease States & Perioperative Management (Lexi-Comp's Drug Reference Handbooks)
Product Description: A must-have drug reference for anesthesia providers, critical care practitioners, and all healthcare professionals involved in the care of surgical or intensive care unit patients.
Lost in the maze I carelessly flipped the pages of a copy owned by a coworker and it seemed good. So I bought one for myself.
I had not noticed the book does not have an alphabetical index. It is set up as a horrible maze where you cannot find anything easily. Its only index is arranged by categories and only with the generic names. When a patient tells me he is taking a certain drug, first I have to look it up on line or in another book to see what the generic name is and what category of drug it is, and only then can I look it up in this book. But then it is useless, because if I have to look it up somewhere else, I get all my information there in the first place.
The book has lots of useful information, but most of it is inaccessible when you need it.
I cannot recommend it until they come up with a decent complete alphabetical index of generic and brand names.
The "All in One" Book This would have been the perfect book to refer to when I was in clinical. We had the MGH Clinical Procedures book and John Snow's manual, but this goes way beyond those two. Like the previous reviewer, I would carry this book before any others. (It is also available for the PDA.) A "must have" resource for your practice or residency.
MD, This is good start for CA-1 who want to be an critical care Anesthesiologist.
I would reccomend to buy it.
thanks
A perfect book to have during residency. This is a must-have for anesthesia residency. It contains complete information not only for po/iv drugs, but inhalation agents as well. In addition, the book has appendicies that cover additional information in condensed form for easy reference (categorized drugs and their affect on local, general or regional anesthesia, tables of all anesthetics with their chemical and physical properties, flow-graphs of ACLS and other protocols. If I could carry only one book (beside Morgan and Mikhail) this would be it.
