4.0 out of 5 stars This is the most used IV drug book on our unit, January 19, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Lippincott's Critical Care Drug Guide (Spiral-bound)

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.

This review is from: Lippincott's Critical Care Drug Guide (Spiral-bound)

I really like this guide because it gives you the generic name first. then what it's indications for use are and the expected outcomes or theraputic effects. And in a different colored box it gives you the contraindications and cautions. Basically, right on the first page it gives you the most important facts first and then goes on from there.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great compatibility lists!, March 19, 2003

This review is from: Lippincott's Critical Care Drug Guide (Spiral-bound)

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).
