[.ca] Lippincott's Critical Care Drug Guide (ISBN 0781721962)

This is the most used IV drug book on our unit:
This is the most used IV drug book on our unit. The drugs are listed alphabetically, therefore easy to find when you are in a hurry. The best feature is the compatability list for each drug. Some titratable meds have easy to read tables, and there are tables of drug effect onset, peak, halflife, etc.

Great compatibility lists!:
I leave my copy in our CCU. It's the best resource we have for IV med compatibilities -- boasting nice long lists for most of our commonly used drips. Solid dosing information, some tables, etc. My favorite for IV meds (ePocrates & Infusicalc/Palm user too).

Even with my Palm!!!:
I use my palm all the time.. I love Epocrates for its ease of use. But for indepth info on drugs we use day and day it..it cannot be beat!!

A good quick reference for many IV drugs!:
I am new to Critical Care and wanted a book to help with the new IV drugs I would see especially. This book is a great addition to a general drug book. I includes more IV information than a general drug book. A few of the dosage recommendations are different than what my facility uses which is a little confusing. But overall, I use this book most days!
