Description and Table of Contents
Description
Anesthesiologists need to understand the drug's action, its reaction to other drugs being administered, its reaction to a concomitant condition of the patient, and how the drug pertains to certain regional anesthesia procedures. This vital information is addressed in "Clinical Pharmacology of Local Anesthetics", in addition to material on a drug's time of onset, potency, duration, and toxicity. The overall strategy of interruption of pain signals in the acute setting is discussed as well as the experimental evidence for preemptive analgesia.
