Anesthetic Pharmacology — Expert Reference

How it begins

Expert level compendium: molecular receptors, population pharmacokinetics, IV and inhalation hypnotic agents, opioids, neuromuscular blockers, local anesthetics, adjuvants, vasoactive agents, antiemetics and antagonists. With clinical correlations and updated dosing data.
