A CASE APPROACH TO PERIOPERATIVE DRUG-DRUG INTERACTIONS

- Fills a great void in the clinical literature.
- Synoptic, readable presentations of pharmacokinetic drug interactions most relevant to the perioperative clinician.
- Edited and written by leading experts in anesthesiology, surgery, intensive care, nursing, patient safety, and pharmacy.
- Extensive case scenarios memorably highlight specific drug-drug interactions.

The occurrence of deleterious or even fatal drug-drug interactions (DDIs) in the perioperative period is no longer a theoretical concern but a harrowing reality. A Case Approach to Perioperative Drug-Drug Interactions addresses the complex realm of pharmacokinetic drug interactions in an easy-to-read volume that functions as both a comprehensive clinical reference and a casebook. The book presents a summary of the core concepts of drug interactions; an organized, annotated presentation of the drug interactions most relevant to the perioperative clinician; and approximately 200 case scenarios that highlight specific drug interactions. This book fills a real void in the clinical literature and is invaluable to anesthesiologists and surgeons, and PharmDs, as well as trainees in those specialties; intensive care staff, including physicians, physician assistants, and nurses; and nurse practitioners who staff preoperative evaluation clinics.
