This is a very good reference. Has basically all drugs used in ICU and ACLS with drip calculation tables. good descriptions of the drugs and in larger print as well which makes finding things a lot easier.

Great book to use in the ICU! It has come in very handy when I have multiple drips to run. It allows me to see compatibilities with other drips and the nursing implications in a nutshell! It is concise and accurate. Thanks!

I have been an ICU nurse for 10 years. This little book has become my bible. It is a quick reference guide not bogged down by "non-nursing stuff". The Compatibility guides are invaluable. I just bought the 3rd edition, donating my dogeared 2nd edition to our "med room" The only criticism I have is that it would be helpful if the author referenced half lifes of the drugs. Other than that this handbook is a gem.

This was far better than I had anticipated. Easy to use when on the run in busy er. Love it:)

As an emergency RN, I need to be able to find IV drug and drip information quickly in an easy to use format. This book is the best I've found.

I have found this book to be very useful when working.The medications are easy to find and there are handy charts to help with drug calculations. The information is concise and laid out easily for the nurse to reference.

I was hoping to get a more extensive list of interactions, that is why I bought it. If you do not know IV drips well, this would be a good resource. If you already know drips and do not have something like Lexicomp or King's List available, then this might help in a pinch....especially if the computers are down.

Lost my original book and just purchased the updated version. Indispensible. Everything you need to know about the critical care IV medication is at your fingertips, including compatibility. Excellent reference material included at the back of the book.

This is a great, easy to use and accurate resource. The only complaint I have is that because it is spiral and I carry it in my pocket, it got a little worn out and I lost the cover. I bought another one when my first got too ragged to use.
