Lippincott's Critical Care Drug Guide:
I really like this guide because it gives you the generic name first. then what it's indications for use are and the expected outcomes or theraputic effects. And in a different colored box it gives you the contraindications and cautions. Basically, right on the first page it gives you the most important facts first and then goes on from there.
Great compatibility lists!:
I leave my copy in our CCU. It's the best resource we have for IV med compatibilities -- boasting nice long lists for most of our commonly used drips. Solid dosing information, some tables, etc. My favorite for IV meds (ePocrates & Infusicalc/Palm user too).
A good quick reference for many IV drugs!:
I am new to Critical Care and wanted a book to help with the new IV drugs I would see especially. This book is a great addition to a general drug book. I includes more IV information than a general drug book. A few of the dosage recommendations are different than what my facility uses which is a little confusing. But overall, I use this book most days!
Even with my Palm!!!:
I use my palm all the time.. I love Epocrates for its ease of use. But for indepth info on drugs we use day and day it..it cannot be beat!!
