ICU med question

Hi everyone, I'm in my last year of nursing school and I am about to have my rotation in a critical care unit. One of the questions on my pre-paperwork for this rotation is "Name 3 medications that require the special monitoring of a critical care unit?" I'm having a hard time with this one. I've visitied http://www.aacn.org and searched the internet. So far I think anything > 10% lidocaine. Anyone else have some ideas?

Thanks!!
