Critical Care Clinicians can use general drug references (Micomedex Lexicomp) for data on
dosing of high-alert medications in special patient populations but these references are not
available to all healthcare clinicians they are expensive and they are not specific to
high-alert medications or critically ill patients. Doctors nurses and pharmacists in the
hospital setting will benefit from having one resource with all of this information. The
purpose of this reference manual would be to guide critical care clinicians on dosing of
high-alert medications in special patient populations. The most important feature of the book
will be a summary of primary literature using tables when possible. This will be useful to
readers because currently a reference book does not exist that guides clinicians in these
difficult dosing decisions.
