Preface to the fifth


edition
The aims of this book remain true to those of previous editions. In order to
make changes prior to the publication of this edition, a peer review process
was undertaken. We have tried to accommodate the changes that were
proposed by the reviewers and are grateful for their comments. The book
continues in its original structured format, the major changes being the
removal of agents no longer in use, the addition of new pharmacological
drugs, and the introduction of drug comparison tables and a number of
drug structure diagrams. We hope that this new edition will remain popular
with critical care professionals, operating department personnel, paramed-
ics, pre-hospital care specialists, and anaesthetists of all grades, in addition
to providing sound examination preparation for the FRCA and FFICM. Any
comments will be gratefully received via e-mail to [email protected] and
[email protected].

Preface to the first


edition
The aim of this book is twofold: firstly to summarize concisely the main
pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic properties of the drugs with which
the practising anaesthetist might be expected to be familiar. Secondly, it
seeks to introduce the candidate for the FRCAnaes (and, in particular, for
the second part of this examination) to an ordered scheme for the pres-
entation of information, which we have found to be of value in both the
written and oral sections of the examinations. Examiners are more likely to
turn a blind eye to minor errors or omissions of knowledge if they are in
the context of a clear and well-ordered presentation. A further advantage
of this scheme of presentation is that it allows rapid access to specific infor-
mation. It is our hope that this compendium will prove to be a useful rapid
source of reference for clinical anaesthetists in their day-to-day endeavours,
both in the theatre and intensive care unit.
This book is intended to complement, rather than to replace, the stand-
ard texts on pharmacology for anaesthetists, since it includes no discussion
of the principles of pharmacology, an understanding of which is essential for
the clinical use of drugs. We feel that these aspects are very satisfactorily
covered elsewhere.
Although our research has been as comprehensive as possible, there will
obviously remain some information that will have eluded us, or perhaps
remains to be discovered. Many practitioners will disagree with our choice
of 172 drugs. Any comments or suggestions will be most gratefully and
humbly received in order that further editions of this book may hopefully
prove to be more useful.
Finally, we should like to thank the members of the Oxford Regional
Drug Information Unit, the many drug company information departments,
and all our colleagues for their help and support in this venture. In particular,
we should like to thank Professor Roy Spector and Drs John Sear and Tim
Peto for their invaluable advice on the manuscript.

How to use this book

The layout of this book requires some explanation in order for the reader
to gain the maximum benefit. The 184 drugs we have included are arranged
in alphabetical order to obviate both reference to an index and the artificial
categorization of some drugs. Each drug is presented in an identical format
and confined to one, two, or three pages under the following headings:
Uses The main clinical uses are listed.
Chemical A brief chemical classification is given.
Presentation The formulations of the commercially available prepara-
tions are described.
Main action The fundamental pharmacological properties are briefly
indicated.
Mode of action The mode of action at a cellular or molecular level
(where known) is described.
Routes of administration/doses The manufacturer’s recommended
dose ranges are listed in this section; alternative clinical uses are also
mentioned.
Effects The pharmacodynamic properties are systematically reviewed.
Where a drug has no specific or known action on a particular physiological
system, the relevant section has been omitted.
The systems described are:
CVS Cardiovascular system.
RS Respiratory system.
CNS Central nervous system.
AS Alimentary system.
GS Genitourinary system.
Metabolic/other Metabolic, endocrine, and miscellaneous.
Toxicity/side effects The major side effects are listed, with particular
reference to the practice of anaesthesia and intensive care.
Kinetics The available pharmacokinetic data are provided. Quantitative
data are not available for all drugs, particularly the long established ones.
Where information on the absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excre-
tion is unavailable for a particular drug, the relevant section has been
omitted.
Absorption Details of the absorption and bioavailability are given.
viii How to use this book

Distribution This section provides information on the volume of distribution


and degree of protein binding of the drug, together with, where appropriate,
details of central nervous penetration, transplacental passage, etc.
Metabolism The site and route of metabolic transformation and the nature
and activity of metabolites are described.
Excretion The excretory pathways, clearance, and elimination half-life are
listed. Although clearances are usually expressed in ml/min/kg, this has not
always been possible due to inadequacies in the original source material.
Special points This section describes points of relevance to the practice
of anaesthesia and intensive care; in particular, significant drug interactions
are reviewed.
This standard format offers great advantages; it enables specific questions
to be answered very rapidly. For example, the question ‘How is fentanyl
metabolized?’ may be answered simply by locating the drug alphabetically
and then consulting the Metabolism section of the text. This principle holds
true for all possible permutations of queries.
