What do Critical Care Pharmacists do?
A critical care pharmacist collaborates with a medical team to optimize medication therapy for critically ill patients by selecting appropriate drugs, adjusting dosages, monitoring for adverse effects, and preventing drug interactions.
They serve as drug experts in high-acuity situations, managing complex medication regimens, responding to medical emergencies, and educating staff and patients to improve outcomes in the intensive care unit (ICU).

Therapeutic Drug Monitoring: Monitoring drug levels in the body (e.g., antibiotics, anti-coagulants) and adjusting dosages to maintain effectiveness and prevent toxicity.
Adverse Drug Event Prevention: Identifying, managing, and preventing adverse drug reactions, which are more common in critically ill patients.
Multidisciplinary Collaboration
Team Participation: Actively participating in rounds with doctors, nurses, and respiratory therapists, providing expert input on drug therapy.
Patient-Specific Plans: Contributing to individualized patient care plans by making informed decisions about medication management.
Clinical Expertise
