Critical care pharmacology
Critical care pharmacology is an important aspect of emergency medicine, as critically ill patients often require complex medication regimens to manage their conditions. This track could cover topics related to the pharmacology of commonly used medications in the critical care setting, including sedatives, analgesics, and neuromuscular blocking agents. Researchers are exploring ways to optimize medication dosing in critically ill patients, including the use of weight-based dosing, therapeutic drug monitoring, and real-time pharmacokinetic modelling.
