This chapter provides a drug formulary which is pertinent to the anaesthetist. Adult and paediatric doses of over 100 drugs are provided, and a series of infusion regimes is presented.


The Oxford Handbook of Anaesthesia is a comprehensive, authoritative and practical guide to the whole field of anaesthetic practice. It encompasses all ages, from neonates to the elderly, and all surgical specialties including cardiac surgery, interventional radiology and weight-reduction surgery. Local, regional and neuraxial techniques are described, including ultrasound guidance. The entire patient journey is covered, from pre-operative assessment and investigation, through informed consent and intraoperative care, to post-operative analgesia. There are substantial sections dealing with acute pain and the management of intra-operative emergencies. A brief drug formulary is provided. The fifth edition is a complete overhaul of the layout and content of the previous edition, with significant new content added.

Drug management in public health centers (Puskesmas) needs to be solve properly to ensure continuing availability and affordability medical services that efficient, effective and rational. The aims of this study are to describe and evaluate drug management in four Puskesmas on Kabupaten X, especially in planning, demanding, receiving, distribution, and storage. This study is a descriptive-evaluative study, with quantitative and qualitative methods, using retrospective data in 2019. The results show that suitability of the types of drugs available with the district drug formulary : 93.46-98.57%; accuracy of drug demand 114-416%; receiving accuracy 76-128%; dead stock  1.3-31.57%; prescriptioning generic drugs 94.72-100%; and the value of damaged drugs 0-17,37%. Results of this study can be concluded that the drug management in four Puskesmas still not optimal because not in accordance with the standard.

This study aims to investigate the influence of the formulation factors on the drug release kinetics, thereby selecting the compositions of extended-release nifedipine tablet based on the similarity coefficient f2 obtained when compared with Adalat LA tablet. The formulation factors such as: molecular weight of the polyethylene oxide (PEO) and osmotic agent amount in drug layer and push layer, semi permeable membrane thickness (estimated by coating weight gain), orifice size, type of plasticizers and ratios of coating polymer to plasticizer in semipermeable membrane were evaluated. It was found that developed tablets were able to deliver nifedipine in an approximate zero-order manner up to 20 hours and drug release profile of developed tablets was similar to that from Adalat LA tablets. The developed tablet contained: PEO N10, PEO 303 in drug layer and push layer, respectively; percentages of osmotic agent in drug layer and push layer were 10% and 30%, respectively; weight gain of semipermeable coating was 12%; and orifice size was 0.8 mm.

Applying the Classification for Drug-Related Problems (DRPs) of the Pharmaceutical Care Network Europe (V 9.00, 2019) allowed to systematize the information on the use of drugs in elderly patients given in the Annex of the State Drug Formulary of Ukraine. As a result of this work, special warnings and recommendations of the State Drug Formulary were presented together with the possible causes for potential DRPs, which they allow to prevent. The lists of potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) for the elderly (n = 98), drugs the dosage of which in patients of this age group should be adjusted (n = 127), and drugs that need monitoring (n = 108) were formed. The obtained results can serve as a basis for the development of a specialized geriatric tool to ensure rational pharmacotherapy, in particular in the provision of pharmaceutical care.


The Oxford Specialist Handbook of Global Anaesthesia is an authoritative and comprehensive reference tool for anaesthetists practising in low-resource settings. It provides essential information to trained anaesthetists on delivering care without the equipment, drugs, and colleague support they might be used to in high-resource settings. Written by international experts in the field it will be useful to anaesthetists planning to work in remote and rural areas or countries with poor healthcare resources. It will also be useful to those working as part of disaster and emergency response medical teams. The technical and organizational aspects of delivering anaesthesia in austere environments are addressed, as are drugs and equipment that might be unfamiliar to anaesthetists practising in high-resource settings, e.g. ketamine and draw-over anaesthesia. The sub-specialties of obstetrics, paediatrics, burns, pain, trauma, and critical care are all covered in the clinical section. Useful reference tables, including a drug formulary, ensure that this book is the essential ‘survival guide’ for any trained anaesthetic practitioner planning to work or teach in a remote or resource-poor environment.
