This handbook from Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers is an English medium (अंग्रेजी माध्यम) book on Pharmacology, written by Lopamudra Chowdhury with a foreword by Manjushree Ray, prepared for anaesthesiology residents and consultants (MD, DNB and DA), operation theatre and critical care staff, and also useful for MBBS students and postgraduate aspirants who need the pharmacology of the drugs used in the operating room. The book is written as a working reference rather than a reading textbook — each drug is presented in the form an anaesthesiologist needs at the table: its class and mechanism, presentation and dilution, dose, onset and duration of action, effects on each system, adverse effects, interactions and contraindications, so that the answer can be found in seconds during a case. The book covers the general principles of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics as they apply to anaesthesia, intravenous induction agents, inhalational anaesthetics, opioid and non-opioid analgesics, muscle relaxants and their reversal agents, local anaesthetics and adjuvants for regional blocks, sedatives, benzodiazepines and premedication, anticholinergics and antiemetics, vasopressors, inotropes and antihypertensives used perioperatively, antiarrhythmics, drugs for the difficult airway and emergency drugs with resuscitation protocols, fluids, blood products and coagulation drugs, drugs used in obstetric, paediatric, neurosurgical and cardiac anaesthesia, pain management including patient-controlled analgesia, and the management of anaesthetic complications such as malignant hyperthermia and local anaesthetic systemic toxicity (स्थानीय संवेदनाहारी विषाक्तता). Its distinguishing feature is this pocket-reference design with ready dose and dilution tables. All content, terminology and explanations in this book are presented in the English language only.
