Critical care pharmacotherapy continues to expand in breadth and acuity, allowing for new and innovative therapies for complex disease states in critically ill patients. Medical Issues in the ICU, the latest release in the Critical Care Self-Assessment Program (CCSAP), provides cutting-edge reviews on commonly encountered disease states across the spectrum of critical care.

These common medical issues include anaphylactic reactions, angioedema, hypertensive emergency, infectious complications, endocrine emergencies, acute GI bleeding, and end-of-life care. Management of these disorders requires a thorough understanding of pathophysiology and multifaceted pharmacotherapy.

Medical Issues in the ICU has three modules offering a total of 15.0 available continuing pharmacy education (CPE) credits. The book was developed under the leadership of Faculty Panel Chair Ishaq Lat, Pharm.D., FCCP, FCCM, BCPS, BCCCP.

Each CCSAP release includes two full-color online formats: (1) interactive PDFs you can save to your desktop or print; and (2) an e-media version you can view on an e-reader, tablet, iOS, or Android smart phone

All CCSAP chapters are fully referenced, with clickable hyperlinks to literature compilers such as PubMed. Other links provide ready access to clinical practice guidelines, official recommendations, and patient assessment tools. Graphic features focus on pivotal studies, patient care scenarios, and take-home points that can be readily integrated into clinical practice.
