Anesthesia Drug Manual

The Anesthesia Drug Manual was and is an absolute great book for reviewing drugs and their interactions in the perianesthesia arena. Since it is written in a easy to read format I was able to remember the drugs name, interactions, indications, contraindications, etc. It then breaks the drugs down into sections from anticholinergics to bronchodilators,vasodilators , antiemetics,etc. It was a good way for me to get a handle on what drugs did what to how and when they were used and for what kind of patient situations. When studying for the ASPAN national test for certification in perianesthesia nursing it was one of the most valuable resources I used. I would like to see an updated version however most of the medications are still in use today for the same situations. I am ordering one for my Phase I phase II PACU because I believe in its value as a resource so much.
