Summary

Anaesthesia is possibly the most pharmacology oriented of all clinical medical specialties. What we do every day is, effectively, applied pharmacology. Yet with all this practical experience, some aspects, particularly pharmacokinetics, can appear dauntingly complex. Indeed, mathematical modelling and developing target-controlled infusions is difficult as is the design of modern vaporisers for inhalational drugs but, as an analogy, we don’t need to be able to design a car in order to know how to drive it. However, there are certain basic PK features that will enhance your understanding and improve your ability to use these drugs appropriately.
