This book is a genuinely pocket-sized guide to the most commonly prescribed drugs in the emergency setting.

Drug prescribing errors are a common cause of hospital admission, and adverse reactions can have devastating effects, some even fatal. Pocket Prescriber Emergency Medicine is a concise, up-to-date prescribing guide containing all the "must have" information on a vast range of drugs that staff from junior doctors to emergency nurses, nurse prescribers, paramedics and other pre-hospital providers may encounter in the emergency setting.

Key features:

• A–Z list of over 500 of the most commonly prescribed drugs with each entry containing the key prescribing information

• Safety issues, warnings, drug errors and adverse effects

• Practical guidance on drug selection, plus protocols and resuscitation guidelines

• Advice and reference information for complicated prescriptions

• Concise management summaries for common medical and surgical emergencies

• Essential advice for pain relief—from acute pain management to procedural sedation

• Clinically useful reminders of key facts from basic pharmacology to acute poisoning syndromes

Pocket Prescriber Emergency Medicine supplies all your information needs concerning commonly prescribed drugs at a glance, enabling on-the-spot decision-making to provide the highest standard of care whilst mitigating prescribing errors.
