Neurocritical Care by Andrew M Naidech
Events in a neurological intensive care unit are not always predictable and patients can often be unstable. This practical manual is a clear and concise guide for recognising and managing neurological emergencies. Each chapter covers a crucial topic in neurocritical care, from understanding the pathophysiology of various neurological diseases, to neuroradiology used in diagnosis, and best practice for difficult decision making in the ICU. A variety of conditions are described such as haemorrhage (intracerebral, subdural, and subarachnoid), seizures, trauma and temperature dysregulation. An international team of experts have contributed chapters, providing a breadth of experience and knowledge for readers. This is an invaluable guide for clinicians on the front line of caring for patients with neurological emergencies who need life-saving answers quickly.
'This is an effective, well-written introduction to a set of complex problems that may be seen in the emergency room, critical care unit, imaging suite, and the practice of trauma careThe presentations are concise and clear and readers will enjoy this set of chapters.' David James Dries, Doody's Reviews
