Brain injuries are common in children, typically following head
trauma but also complicating meningitis, encephalitis,
cerebrovascular haemorrhage (stroke) and brain tumours. Many
children suffer irreversible impairments and are left with major
physical, educational and behavioural disabilities. This has
tremendous implications for health, education and social services.
The survivors of brain injuries pose a significant burden on the
NHS, the community and families. Despite this, resources are
limited or non-existent in many parts of the UK and, consequently,
many hospitals, schools and education authorities, and social
services are unsure how to address the many problems shown by these
children and their families. The new edition of 'Management of
Brain Injured Children' provides a detailed account of brain
injuries in children. It considers how common they are, why they
occur, and how they may be prevented. It also explains how children
are resuscitated following the acute insult, and provides a
comprehensive description of how the physical, communicative,
educational, and behavioural effects are managed, in both the
short- and long-term, and how this impacts on the family. A
parent's experience of having a child who suffered a severe head
injury provides an invaluable contribution, as does the account of
her daughter, now a teenager. The book concludes with appendices
detailing useful support organisations and relevant governmental
and other agencies' publications. Referencing is thorough and
up-to-date, providing readers with useful sources of information
for additional reading.
