This comprehensively updated second edition features major revisions, 24 new chapters and more than 40 new authors, reflecting both the advances and key challenges within the field. Offering a systematic guide to the management of children and adults with severe traumatic brain injury throughout the entire chain of care, it includes evidence-based recommendations for each diagnostic and therapeutic measure, together with tips, tricks and pitfalls. The authors are all highly experienced clinicians and researchers who work with neurotrauma patients on a daily basis, and the editors represent the Scandinavian Neurotrauma Committee.
The book helps professionals provide more systematic and higher-quality care in prehospital settings, primary hospitals, neurosurgical departments, neurointensive care units, and rehabilitation facilities. It is intended for all healthcare personnel involved in the multidisciplinary management of patients with head injuries, especially those in emergency care, neurosurgery, anesthesiology, radiology, and rehabilitation.
Terje Sundstrøm, MD, PhD, is a senior consultant neurosurgeon at Haukeland University Hospital and an associate professor at the University of Bergen in Norway. He was editor-in-chief of the first edition of Management of severe traumatic brain injury (2012). He also has a strong interest in translational and clinical research on benign and malignant brain tumors.
Per-Olof Grände, MD, PhD, is senior professor in anaesthesia and intensive care at Lund University Hospital in Sweden. His research is concentrated on basal circulatory physiology with special application to neurointensive care and the traumatized brain.
Teemu Luoto, MD, PhD, is a neurosurgeon at the Tampere University Hospital and an adjunct professor in neurotraumatology at the University of Tampere in Finland. His clinically oriented research is focused on traumatic brain injury, especially mild traumatic brain injury and sport-related concussion, and traumatic spinal cord injury.
Christina Rosenlund, MD, MHO, is a senior consultant neurosurgeon at Odense University Hospital in Denmark and affiliated with the Danish Center for Organdonation. Her clinically oriented research is focused on traumatic brain injury, neurointensive care, rehabilitation and organdonation.
Johan Undén, MD, PhD, DESA, EDIC, is a senior consultant at the intensive care unit at Hallands Hospital and an associate professor in anesthesia and intensive care at Lund University Hospital in Sweden. His research is concentrated in the area of neurotrauma, in particular mild traumatic brain injury, and also in neuroprotection and clinical coagulation.
Knut Gustav Wester, MD, PhD is a professor emeritus from the University of Bergen and was previously head of the neurosurgical department at Haukeland University Hospital in Norway. He is a founding member of the Scandinavian Neurotrauma Committee and president of the committee since 2013. His clinically oriented research has included several aspects oftraumatic brain injury.

Dateiformat: PDFKopierschutz: Wasserzeichen-DRM (Digital Rights Management)
Systemvoraussetzungen:
Das Dateiformat PDF zeigt auf jeder Hardware eine Buchseite stets identisch an. Daher ist eine PDF auch für ein komplexes Layout geeignet, wie es bei Lehr- und Fachbüchern verwendet wird (Bilder, Tabellen, Spalten, Fußnoten). Bei kleinen Displays von E-Readern oder Smartphones sind PDF leider eher nervig, weil zu viel Scrollen notwendig ist. Mit Wasserzeichen-DRM wird hier ein „weicher” Kopierschutz verwendet. Daher ist technisch zwar alles möglich – sogar eine unzulässige Weitergabe. Aber an sichtbaren und unsichtbaren Stellen wird der Käufer des E-Books als Wasserzeichen hinterlegt, sodass im Falle eines Missbrauchs die Spur zurückverfolgt werden kann.
