Description:
Many medications are used in the critical care setting. A comprehensive assessment of a patient’s clinical status, comorbid conditions, and current medications is necessary before additional interventions are applied. All medical interventions should be evidence-based, goal-directed therapy. Because critical care pharmacotherapy literature evolves rapidly, practitioners must be vigilant to stay up to date with new guidelines and best practices.
