New York Cambridge University Press 2006 269pp. ISBN 0-521-68781-0 This book does exactly what it says on the cover. It is small enough to carry is concise 269 pages and contains all essential information on most drugs used in critical care. With new drugs being introduced and with more patients surviving with complex co-morbidity a sound knowledge of pharmacodynamics and kinetics is required and a quick reference guide is essential. The third edition of this popular pocket reference book provides such a reference for doctors nurses and pharmacists. This latest edition follows successful earlier formats with three sections the positions of which are sadly not indicated on the foredge. First more than 1 20 drugs are described alphabetically by nonproprietary name. Concise information on uses administration contraindications side effects cautions and use during organ failure is provided. In the second section there is a section of short notes including pharmacokinetics and monitoring with specific reference to the critically ill the management of various clinical scenarios such as status epilepticus and hyper-kalaemia and the use of antiarrhythmics inotropes sedative drugs and renal replacement. However some of these short notes such as the clinical description of the technique of pleuradhesis or the management of anaphylaxis do not seem to fit into a book concerned primarily with pharmacology and we would not have looked for them here if we had wanted an update.
