Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

An authoritative and comprehensive review of the most important clinical issues facing critically ill neurologic and neurosurgical patients. The authors provide pertinent basic, clinical, diagnostic, and management guidelines for all the conditions commonly encountered in the neurocritical care unit, including the management of autonomic disorders that require critical care, postoperative management, and endovascular treatment. The authors also discuss the latest developments in the monitoring of different body systems, emphasizing the management of cardiorespiratory complications and other medical conditions that may threaten the patient's life. Also detailed are the concepts of intracranial physiology and current neuromonitoring techniques, subjects whose understanding is basic to effective management of critically ill neurologic patients. Numerous tables, figures, diagrams, and radiographs simplify and explicate both the diagnostic and therapeutic processes.

Book News Annotation:

The end of the polio threat and the lack of developments in neurosurgical techniques led to a decline of interest in the new field of neurocritical care and a degree of nihilism concerning critically ill and neurosurgical patients, until the past 20 years. US researchers and practitioners here begin their guide for clinicians by recommending how to organize a modern and efficient neurosciences critical care unit, and discussing intracranial physiology and current neuromonitoring techniques. Then they survey a number of conditions commonly encountered in the neurosciences critical care unit for which several therapeutic alternatives and good nursing care are available, and conclude by considering outcomes research.
