About A Pharmacist's Guide To Inpatient Medical
About the Author Joseph Muench, better known as "Pharmacy Joe," is a Doctor of Pharmacy and Board Certified Pharmacotherapy Specialist. He has trained many colleagues and PGY-1 residents on the vital role a pharmacist has when responding to adult inpatient medical emergencies. Joe is the founder of pharmacyjoe.com where he provides current, unbiased critical care and hospital pharmacy content. In addition to being an author, Joe is the host of The Elective Rotation: A Critical Care Hospital Pharmacy Podcast, and creator of an online Hospital Pharmacy Academy found at pharmacyjoe.com/academy. Product Description Fewer patients die in the hospital when pharmacists participate on hospital medical emergency teams (Bond 2007). This book is for hospital pharmacists who want to learn and refine the clinical skills necessary to be a valuable member of the hospital code blue / medical emergency team. Each chapter contains actionable, concise training on the role of the pharmacist during specific adult inpatient medical emergencies including: Code Blue Rapid Response Shock Sepsis Anaphylaxis Endotracheal Intubation Stridor Methemoglobinemia Massive Pulmonary Embolism Status Epilepticus Acute Agitation Severe Alcohol Withdrawal Opioid Overdose Hypertensive Emergency Severe Hyperthermia Hypoglycemia Hyponatremia from SIADH Hyperkalemia Review This book is great for pharmacists new to the emergency response team. Takes the fear out of what could be a very intimidating subject. Concise, well-organized, and a good reference. This is now required reading for my PGY1 pharmacy residents. - Mandy A great read for pharmacists of all ages! I have been a critical care pharmacist for years and attended many codes. I still found lots of advice in this book that I plan to put into action! I particularly liked the advice on the pharmacist's role in code blue and all of the little tips to help ensure patient safety. It's a quick read and would be great required reading for residents. - Stephen Chromi, PharmD, BCPS I am an Emergency Dept. PharmD and would recommend this book to all Pharmacists (as well as other professions). I like how the book is to the point and well organized. This book is a must read for all Pharmacy residents as well as newer pharmacists working in an Emergency Dept or ICU type setting. - AK As a (former) practicing Critical Care physician, I like this straight-forward book. It clearly details what is the role and what to expect of the clinical pharmacist in medical inpatient emergencies like shock, pulmonary embolism, malignant hypertension, opiate overdose and etc. There are over 20 different emergency situations in the book and each one gets a succinct, clear set of points and goals from Pharmacy Joe: what to prepare in terms of pharmaco-therapeutics, what to expect, what are the most probable outcomes of a situation, the immediate and long term goals of the medical team, and other crucial specific considerations (eg: different dose and administration rates for alteplase depending on patient's hemodynamic presentation). The small nuances and the attention to real-life details, make this an exceptional practice guiding book. Clinical pharmacists and other Critical Care practitioners should have this book in one of their white-coat pockets...in which it actually fits quite well. - Toren
