• Critical Care and respirology are common and interrelated practice areas for a significant number of pharmacotherapy specialists. Pulmonary and Critical Care, the sixth book from the Pharmacotherapy Self-Assessment Program, Sixth Edition (PSAP-VI) series, provides an update on commonly encountered disorders in these two areas. The Pulmonary module covers asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pulmonary hypertension, and sleep apnea. The two Critical Care modules address syndromes common among critically ill patients such as respiratory distress and endocrine and central nervous system syndromes. The pharmacotherapy of critically ill patient populations is discussed in chapters on Neurotrauma and Pediatric Burns. Because critical care is resource-intensive, a chapter dedicated to health policy as it influences cost, quality, and safety in the ICU is provided. Each PSAP Book includes case-based questions and explained answers.
