In the fast-paced and often unpredictable environment of the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), quick access to precise and reliable drug infusion information can make a critical difference in patient care. This concise handbook — “ICU Drug Infusion at a Glance (Adults)” — is a humble effort to bridge that gap for medical professionals working in the Indian ICU setting.This booklet includes some of the most commonly used intravenous drug infusions, with essential details such as drug names, recommended dosages, preparation and dilution guidelines, and infusion rates based on ideal body weight (where applicable). It is designed for quick reference, particularly in high-pressure scenarios where clarity and speed are essential.This compilation is the result of collective efforts. I have drawn insights from my own experience, contributions from respected colleagues across departments, and assistance from AI tools to streamline and verify information. Special thanks to Dr. Raghuram P. (Internal Medicine) and Dr. Wajahat Ali (Critical Care) from Saradamba Institute of Medical Sciences, and Dr. Abdul Razzak (HOD, General Medicine) from Fathima Institute of Medical Sciences, whose guidance and mentorship played a valuable role in shaping this resource.This book does not cover indications, mechanisms, pharmacokinetics, or exhaustive theoretical backgrounds — instead, it focuses purely on practical data for bedside use. Critical notes are provided where necessary to guide safe and context-based usage.I wholeheartedly welcome feedback, corrections, and suggestions for improvement.
