Synopsis:
Critical Care Neurology and Neurosurgery provides balanced coverage of the neurological and neurosurgical critical care issues while presenting the reader with solid medical and general critical care background knowledge. It also includes guidelines for establishing a neurosciences critical care unit, discussions on common ethical issues, and other less common but important clinical problems such as autonomic failure and mitochondrial disorders. The book begins with recommendations for the organization of a modern, efficient Neurosciences Critical Care Unit from which the reader can establish a new unit or refer to it when evaluating the functions of an already working unit. This is followed by discussions of intracranial physiology and current neuromonitoring techniques. The concepts reviewed are paramount to understanding management of critically ill neurologic and neurosurgical patients. Subsequently, the authors discuss the latest developments in monitoring of different body systems emphasizing management of cardiorespiratory complications and other medical conditions that may threaten the patient's life.
