This book is an up-to-date reference on all aspects of
anticoagulation and hemostasis in neurosurgery. After an opening
section on basic principles and drug classes in current use,
detailed consideration is given to coagulation issues relevant to
all patients, not just neurosurgical ones. The coverage includes,
for example, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and
disseminated intravascular coagulation. A variety of important
issues specific to neurosurgical practice are then addressed, and a
summary of current guidelines and best practices is provided. By
bringing together the latest knowledge from across the discipline,
this book will serve as a sound basis for informed decision making
in surgical practice. It will be of daily value for neurosurgeons
and trainees worldwide and will also be of interest to emergency
room physicians, surgeons in general, critical care physicians,
neurologists, and hospital medicine specialists.

A state-of-the-art reference on the management and treatment of
neurosurgical emergencies The third edition of this acclaimed book
covers frequently encountered neurosurgical emergencies, with
contributions from renowned experts in their respective
subspecialties. Clinical insights and easy-to-follow protocols are
presented for emergencies associated with disease, infection, and
trauma - and complications such as status epilepticus and acute
shunt malfunction. Injury classification, evaluation, clinical
presentation, imaging, surgical indications, approaches, and
prognosis are presented for each condition. Concise, evidence-based
descriptions enable readers to rapidly gain a solid understanding
of the pathogenesis of each problem. The authors retained the scope
and content of previous editions and added six new chapters that
reflect recent advances. These include novel invasive brain
monitoring techniques and their relevance to clinical practice,
emergency surgery for stroke, emergency endovascular stroke
treatment, cerebral venous thrombosis, consideration of cervical
stenosis as an emergency, and emergent presentation and management
of spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas and vascular lesions. Key
Features Updated from black and white to full-color illustrations
Current guidelines for managing a full spectrum of intracranial,
spinal, and peripheral nerve emergencies - from assessment of acute
loss of consciousness - to pituitary apoplexy, cerebral herniation,
and penetrating spine and peripheral nerve injuries Neurosurgical
emergencies in pediatric patients including spinal cord injury and
perinatal management of myelomeningocele Treatment and management
of spontaneous intracerebral, subarachnoid, and intraspinal
hemorrhages Recognition and management of intrathecal baclofen and
narcotic withdrawal This stellar resource is a must-have for
practicing neurosurgeons and emergency medicine specialists. It
will also greatly benefit residents and fellows in these fields of
medicine.
Neurotrauma and Critical Care of the Brain, 2nd edition by renowned
neurosurgeons Jack Jallo and Christopher Loftus incorporates
salient components of the highly praised first edition. The updated
text reflects cutting-edge discussion on traumatic brain injury
management in a neurocritical care setting. Contributions from top
experts in neurosurgery, neurology, critical care, cardiac and
pulmonary care, and trauma surgery provide a concise review of a
complex and evolving field. The book lays a solid foundation with
discussion of TBI classification, pathophysiology, key blood
biomarkers, noninvasive neuromonitoring in severe TBI patients,
multimodality monitoring in neurocritical care, and brain imaging
modalities. From the prehospital setting to intensive care, top
experts share clinical pearls and core guidelines on the management
of mild, moderate, and severe TBI and complications. Chapters new
to this edition include concomitant injuries, orbital/facial
fractures, vascular injuries, spine fractures, autonomic
dysfunction, and temperature management. Key Highlights Specialized
topics include wartime penetrating injuries, cardiovascular
complications of TBI, venous thromboembolism prophylaxis, ethical
considerations, TBI costs in the U.S. and the financial return on
helmets Management of pediatric brain injuries in the NICU with
illustrative cases Nearly 200 high quality illustrations facilitate
understanding of complex anatomy and techniques Summary tables
provide a handy overview of injury type, causes, characteristics,
and recommended imaging modalities This remarkable resource is
essential reading for neurosurgeons, neurologists, trauma
physicians, critical care and rehabilitation medicine specialists,
and residents in these specialties. Paired with Neurotrauma and
Critical Care of the Spine, 2nd edition, this dynamic duo is the
most up-to-date neurocritical care reference available today.
