Advocating a pragmatic and multidisciplinary approach to the
management of patients with brain injuries, Traumatic Brain Injury
provides a detailed description of care along the whole-patient
pathway. Delivering an evidence-based update on the optimal care of
both adult and paediatric patients who have sustained injuries
ranging from mild to severe, information from on-going multi-centre
studies in neurotrauma is included. The basic scientific principles
of neuropathology, head injury research and scoring systems are
presented before detailed sections on emergency department care,
patient transfer, intensive care and longer-term care.
Rehabilitation is reviewed in detail with chapters discussing the
aims and roles of physiotherapy, occupational therapy and
neuropsychology amongst others. Discussing medico-legal issues in
detail, the effect of injury on the individual and their family are
also examined. Emphasising a holistic approach to caring for
patients with brain injuries, this is an essential guide for all
involved.
