This text has been extremely useful for a precise and quick reference for IV medications used in any emergency situation while working in ER,ICU,and now the cardiovascular cath lab scene.

I would say this is a good reference but I have to say that I've owned it for 3 years and have probably used it 5 times. I'm more likely to look at the Unit's policy than to rely on this reference. I give it 3 stars because it does have a great deal of information, but that information changes all the time!
