Description
Here's the only book to provide a comprehensive approach to the intensive care of neurologically injured patients, from the emergency room and ICU through the operating room and post-surgical period. It reviews neuroanatomy, nueroradiology, and neurophysiology, examines the neurological problems most frequently seen in intensive care, and describes the various types of neurosurgery. General issues are discussed, such as cardiac care, fluids and electrolytes, nutrition, and monitoring, and covers specific conditions and complications, including elevated intracranial pressure, seizures, and altered mental states. Helpful algorithms facilitate clinical decision making.
