The clinical management of patients with acute brain and spinal
cord injury has evolved significantly with the advent of new
diagnostic and therapeutic modalities. Acute Brain and Spinal Cord
Injury presents the latest medical science and highlights
controversies in the clinical management of patients with acute
brain and spinal cord injuries. Divided into five
sections-traumatic brain injury, ischemic stroke, intracerebral and
subarachnoid hemorrhage, and spinal cord injury-this text:
Delineates diagnostic and monitoring tools, pharmacotherapies, and
interventional and surgical treatments Examines and explores
recently published laboratory trials and research Incorporates over
50 diagrams and figures for concise communication of scientific
information This stand-alone reference is a powerful tool in
helping today's neurologists and neurosurgeons keep abreast of
current advancements in brain and spinal cord injury.

Leading neurocritical care and intensive care specialists from the
Neurosciences Critical Care Unit of the Johns Hopkins Hospital have
joined forces to spell out concisely for first line health care
providers the diverse standards and therapeutic regimens required
for the care of critically ill neurological and neurosurgical
patients. Their authoritative reference guide takes an algorithmic
approach to immediate patient care, incorporating both ancillary
investigation to confirm clinical diagnosis and appropriate
management guidelines. The book offers comprehensive summaries of
the best diagnostic and management practices for a wide range of
neurocritical problems, including encephalopathy, intercerebral and
subarachnoid hemorrhage, traumatic brain injury postoperative care,
ischemic stroke, brain tumors, spinal cord injury, and more. A
compact disk accompanies the book for downloading an ebook version
to the reader's PC or PDA.
Authoritative and highly practical, the Handbook of Neurocritical
Care offers first-line hospital physicians and EMS personnel a
comprehensive quick-reference guide to the rapid diagnosis and
management of critically ill neurological and neurosurgical
patients.
Neurocritical care as a subspecialty has grown rapidly over the
last two decades and has reached a level of distinct maturity with
the advent of newer monitoring, diagnostic and therapeutic
modalities in a variety of brain and spinal cord injury paradigms.
Handbook of Neurocritical Care, Second Edition remains true to the
operative tenet that "time is brain," and rapid diagnosis and
therapeutic interventions in these challenging patients cannot be
overemphasized. The second edition of this important Handbook again
serves as a quick, practical reference for those involved in the
care of critically ill neurological and neurosurgical patients. The
care provided to this subset of critically ill patients continues
to be multidisciplinary and includes care rendered from colleagues
in emergency medical services, emergency medicine, neurology,
neurosurgery, anesthesiology, critical care, nursing and physician
assistance. Fully updated, all of the chapters again consist of
easy-to-read, bulleted points followed by a list of Key Points and
important references allowing for rapid access to vital information
critical for fast and timely decision making. The first section
covers a myriad of important general principles while the second
section addresses the major diagnostic categories of neurocritical
care with several new topics; these include, for example,
neuroleptic malignant syndrome and malignant hyperthermia,
meningitis and encephalitis, and intraventricular hemorrhage.
Readers will find the algorithms, tables, and illustrations
throughout the book not only useful but truly invaluable in
facilitating fast and accurate decision making. Accessible and
comprehensive, Handbook of Neurocritical Care, Second Edition again
fills a vital need by providing readers with a succinct and
practical approach to the management of critically ill neurological
and neurosurgical patients.
As the third leading cause of death in the United States, stroke
accounts for one in every fifteen deaths and is the major cause of
disability in the country. Compiled by a renowned editorial team,
this reference bridges the gap between basic science and patient
care protocols, and collects 43 expertly written chapters that
range from laboratory-based research on animal models to the
progression, mechanisms, treatment, and prognosis of diseases such
as subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH),
focal ischemic stroke, and global cerebral ischemia.
