When the brain suffers an injury, the effects can be delayed and
unpredictable. Cerebrospinal fluid can slowly build up, causing
dangerously high levels of intracranial pressure (ICP), and the
brain tissue can be displaced into adjacent compartments, resulting
in cerebral herniation syndrome (CHS). Within the burgeoning field
of neurocritical care, experts are just beginning to understand the
nuanced, sometimes counterintuitive relationship between ICP and
CHS. Written by leading researchers who also have extensive
first-hand clinical experience treating brain injury patients,
Cerebral Herniation Syndromes and Intracranial Hypertension
provides an up-to-date guide to this complex aspect of
neurocritical care. Drawing from expertise gained working in
high-volume medical centers, the book's contributors reveal that
there is no universal metric for gauging acceptable levels of
intracranial pressure. Instead, they demonstrate the best practices
for offering patients individualized care, based on their specific
conditions and manifest symptoms. Bringing together
internationally-renowned neurocritical care experts from a variety
of neurology, critical care, surgery, and neurosurgery disciplines,
this volume takes a comprehensive look at a complicated issue. A
concise, practical, and timely review, Cerebral Herniation
Syndromes and Intracranial Hypertension offers vital information
for all medical personnel concerned with improving neurocritical
patient care.
