Neurocritical Care Essentials: A Practical Guide

Mypinder S. Sekhon; Donald E. Griesdale

doi:10.1017/CBO9781316146187

This practical new resource uses a highly visual approach to summarise and simplify neurocritical care topics which can often seem daunting in their complexity. Diagrams, flowcharts, figures and tables highlight the main principles of disease pathophysiology, diagnosis and management, giving an easy-to-understand insight into this new and exciting field of medicine. Numerous high-quality radiographic images demonstrate the neuroimaging of neurological and neurosurgical diseases, and overviews of major clinical trials and studies provide an evidence-based perspective. Incorporating a full grounding in the fundamentals of neuroanatomy, neurophysiology and examination, and summaries of key points and suggested reading for each chapter, this book is a concise yet thorough reference for all those working in neurocritical care. Ideal for both trainees and specialists in neurology, neurosurgery, intensive care, anaesthesiology, emergency medicine and internal medicine.

‘The text is both informative and accessible, and will provide an excellent resource for the clinician who wishes to rapidly access key clinical facts, or acquire a foundation to support a wider and more detailed exploration of neurointensive care.'

David Menon - University of Cambridge, from the Foreword

‘This handbook succinctly presents the essential aspects of neurocritical care into a concise resource for the reader in a coherent and attractive manner.'

Arun Gupta - University of Cambridge
