Summary:

Recent advances in the management of spinal cord and severe head injury, stroke, brain tumors, and intracranial infections have led to enhancements in neurosurgical intensive care. In this book, you will see those advances at work and also find valuable tips and advice on the most current treatment strategies. The text covers all important topics in neurosurgical intensive care, from stroke and nontraumatic hemorrhage to intracranial hypertension, epilepsy management, and withdrawal of life support. Plus, you'll find the latest clinical science on all topics, including how advanced bedside monitoring techniques can lead to improved patient care.
