Respiratory Care Pharmacology by Joseph Rau
"Respiratory Care Pharmacology" presents all of the needs to know of respiratory pharmacology. It covers pharmacokinetics principles as they relate to respiratory agents, drug administration, and a range of specific drugs used in respiratory care and their effects on body systems. For the sixth edition, Rau has added newly released drugs and updated discussions with new content on adrenergic bronchodilators, mucoactive agents, anti-asthma agents, anti-infective agents, cardiac drugs, and circulatory drugs. For the first time ever, contributors have been brought on board to improve the non-respiratory drug sections of the book. This edition also includes more clinical scenarios and second-color throughout. As in the previous edition, the book is organized into three logical sections. The first section covers the basics of respiratory care pharmacology including the principles of drug action, the basic methods of drug administration, the standard drug calculations and the effects of drugs on body systems. Fully referenced and comprehensive, the second section covers the drugs most frequently delivered to patients by respiratory therapists, and the third section covers the drugs used to treat critical care and cardiovascular patients.| SKU | Unavailable |
