This book focuses on subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), describing in detail the neurophysiology, anatomy, epidemiology, grading, anesthesia management, coiling and interventional treatment of this dangerous disease. Written by leading international experts, it highlights the state-of-the-art techniques for the diagnosis and treatment (non-surgical and surgical) of SAH and the clinical variations. It also examines the reliability of the new techniques versus the standard clinical methods to predict problems related to SAH and its recent diagnosis and management.

The book starts with a brief discussion of the epidemiology of SAH, cerebral circulation, anatomy of brain blood vessels and neurophysiology related to this fatal disease. Then, in the following chapters it covers grading of subarachnoid hemorrhage, anesthesia management of SAH, treatment, subarachnoid hemorrhage coiling and radiological intervention. Lastly, it explores surgical treatment of intracranial aneurysmsin more detail, and addresses complications, critical care management and headache in SAH, traumatic SAH and prognosis.

Featuring numerous images, tables, schema, illustrations and videos, the book is intended for junior and senior anesthesiologists, neuroscientists, intervention radiologists, intensivists and neurosurgeons. 

This book covers microbiological features of the diseases that require intensive care support, including iatrogenic and hospital-acquired infections. The knowledge will assist in the early diagnosis and treatment of bacterial, viral, and fungal infections requiring critical care admission to improve patient outcomes. All microbiological and therapeutic concerns and management of infectious disorders of all human body systems, from the brain to the musculoskeletal system, are addressed. It also describes practical and descriptive ways to prevent, diagnose, and manage various known and forthcoming healthcare-associated illnesses, ranging from MRSA to VRE and others. 

Applied Microbiology in Intensive Care Medicine will benefit not only intensive and critical care practitioners but also infectious disease practitioners and physicians, surgeons, intensivists, clinical pharmacists, nurses, and technicians in intensive care units.

This book presents the updated management of acute and critically ill obstetric and gynecological patients. It describes patients'' care with pregnancy-induced medical disorders, comorbidities, and gynecological (OBGY) conditions requiring acute and intensive care support therapy. This book will guide early diagnosis and speedy management of life-threatening conditions. Chapters provide a comprehensive and systemic approach in an easy-to-understand format. Along with diseases and comorbidities of pregnancy, acute illness and its management caused by in vitro fertilization (IVF) are focused on, and a dedicated chapter about COVID-19 infection in obstetric patients is provided.

Updates in Intensive Care of OBGY Patients will support intensivists, obstetricians, gynecologists, acute care physicians, and surgeons. Residents, fellows, specialists, and other junior medical staff working in intensive care units will also value this source. It will also help to broaden the understanding of nurses and paramedical staff in intensive care therapy.
