The book addresses the complex landscape of neurocritical care by examining key controversies that impact clinical decision-making. It brings together insights from India's leading neurointensivists to provide clarity on issues such as traumatic brain injury management, ischemic stroke interventions, and neuromuscular weakness treatment. The book invites readers to critically evaluate these controversies through expert analyses and practical case scenarios.
The chapters are meticulously organized to cover topics like multimodal monitoring in TBI, surgical vs. endovascular approaches in subarachnoid hemorrhage, and anticoagulant use in cerebral venous thrombosis. Each chapter discusses current evidence and highlights landmark trials that have shaped contemporary practice. The book offers a comprehensive exploration of unresolved issues in the field, from traumatic brain injury to neuroinfections.
The book is targeted at neurointensivists, emergency medicine physicians, neurologists, neurosurgeons, and neuroanesthesiologists. It is also beneficial for trainees preparing for DM/MD examinations as well as consultants seeking to update their knowledge base with cutting-edge research.
