Beskrivning

Neurocritical care as a subspecialty has grown rapidly over the last 20 years with the advent of newer monitoring and diagnostic techniques and therapeutic modalities in a variety of brain and spinal cord injury paradigms. This handbook will serve as a quick reference guide to all health care providers in a neurocritical care setting. Since time is of the essence in the rapid diagnosis and timely therapeutic interventions for these patients, this book provides an algorithmic approach to making a clinical diagnosis using ancillary investigations to confirm the diagnosis and provide appropriate management of acute neurologic diseases. Tables and illustrations help provide a quick and easy bedside reference and give a practical approach to the management of these patients.
