A Case Approach to Perioperative Drug-Drug Interactions

Abstract

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, as well as trainees in both specialties intensive care staff, including physicians, physician’s assistants, and nurses and nurse practitioners who staff preoperative evaluation clinics.
