Fluid resuscitation and vasopressor practices in critically ill patients is a dynamic and evolving area of practice. Selection and timing of these therapies continues to evolve and it is important for the critical care pharmacist to keep abreast on the subject matter. Management of patients with severe musculoskeletal injuries is nuanced and the growing information pertaining to the immune system during critical illness remains an important topic on the critical care practice horizon. Lastly, the importance of technology, medications safety and shortage response, and critical care pharmacy practice models cannot be overstated and remain timeless topics of high importance. Resuscitation and Critical Care Practice, the latest release in the Critical Care Self-Assessment Program (CCSAP), provides evidence-based updates and best practice insights for pharmacists caring for patients with these challenging scenarios and for advancing critical care pharmacy practice.

The target audience for Resuscitation and Critical Care Practice is not limited to ICU and ED pharmacists across the spectrum of care, but also includes any pharmacist involved in telehealth, medication safety and technology use, and pharmacy leadership.

Resuscitation and Critical Care Practice has five modules offering a total of 22.0 available continuing pharmacy education (CPE) credits. The book was developed under the leadership of Faculty Panel Chair Zachary R. Smith, Pharm.D., FCCP, BCPS, BCCCP.

Chapters in the first module provide current guidance that incorporates contemporary literature related to fluid resuscitation and vasopressor use in critically ill patients. The second module explores current management of patients with severe musculoskeletal injuries and immunomodulation in the critically ill. Features in the third module provide best practices for critical care pharmacy practice models and the training of future critical care pharmacists. The fourth module focus on the use of technology related to the implementation of telehealth pharmacy services in the ICU and medication safety. Lastly, the fifth feature discusses strategies for managing medication shortages and providing cost effective therapies in the ICU.

Each CCSAP release has continuing education activities that cover the most recent published data (past 3–5 years) on a specific therapeutic area or patient-care problem. This content is provided as a full-color electronic book (interactive PDF) with high-level updates designed, as appropriate to the topic, in three formats:

  • Traditional review-style chapters
  • Case series (major sections of learning content bookended by a sample case and its explained answer)
  • Recorded webcast (PowerPoint presentation; includes PDF of the transcribed narrative)

CCSAP chapters and features 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. Graphics focus on pivotal studies, patient care scenarios, and take-home points that can be readily integrated into clinical practice. Included with every purchase is an e-media version you can view on an e-reader, tablet, and iOS or Android smart phone.
