The Comatose Patient is a single authored entirely new work written
by a practicing critical care neurologist. It includes a critical
historical overview of the concepts of consciousness and
unconsciousness, principles of neurologic examination of the
comatose patients including instruction of a new coma scale, the
'FOUR Score', a new practical multistep approach to the diagnosis
of the comatose patient, extensive coverage of interpretation of
neuroimaging and its role in daily practice and decision making,
management in the emergency room and ICU and long-term supportive
care and approach to communication with family members and
end-of-life decision. It also discusses landmark legal cases and
ethical problems and a chapter on the public perception of coma.
The book is lavishly illustrated with 200 illustrations throughout
the book.
Unprecedented, this book includes 75 comprehensive case vignettes
covering the entire spectrum of causes leading to coma. In each
case a specific cause is presented. Every example is fully
discussed and explained with an emphasis on the mechanism of coma
in that particular case and followed by a section on management and
expected outcome.
This monograph additionally includes a 45-minute DVD with 5
narrated chapters and an easy to use navigation menu. Included are
40 patient examples showing the instructions of the FOUR score Coma
Scale, common neurological findings in coma, breathing patterns in
coma, different types of prolonged comatose states including a
persistent vegetative state and a minimally conscious state. Using
3D animation, the DVD includes a comprehensive description of the
determination of Brain Death and how to safely do the apneatest.
There is an emphasis on pitfalls and common concerns. The DVD can
also be used for neurology and neurosurgery residency programs,
medical and nursing school curricula and physical therapy programs.
