Opis

The pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of several drugs is expected to be known to clinicians and researchers at all times. With advances in sciences and development of newer drugs very frequently, it is very important to keep your knowledge updated at all times. This title is a quick guide to researchers and clinicians for a quick reference. The title is also a vital resource for all streams of neurosciences (neuroanesthesia and neurointensive care) and is much different from a conventional pharmacology titles, being more reader friendly and to the point facilitated with numerous flowcharts and algorithms with each chapter being prepared in a standard structured manner.
