Neurocritical care


簡介(Book Description from Barnes and Noble):
Patients in the neurointensive care unit pose many clinical challenges for the attending physician. Even experienced clinicians occasionally arrive at the point where diagnostic, work-up, treatment, or prognostic thinking becomes blocked. Neurocritical Care is the next volume in the "What Do I Do Now?" series and provides the clinician with specific focus and insight on interventions in acute neurologic disorders. Neurocritical care in daily practice pertains to managing deteriorating patients, treatment of complications but also end-of-life care assisting families with difficult decisions. Written with a conversational tone and using a case- based approach, Neurocritical Care emphasizes how to handle comparatively common clinical problems emergently.

 Customer Reviews from Amazon :

Gives a good quick overview
I liked this book as it gives a quick overview on management of common clinical situations in neurocritical care units. This is a good read for medical students, interns/residents and nurses.

For the critical care trainee or practicing intensivist

I was recommended to read this book by neurology residents. Being from an internal medicine background and in my critical care fellowship training, I could see this would be very helpful and informative for all levels: medical students, residents, fellows, and the practicing intensivist--both for neurologists and internal medicine. The writing is clear and has an entertaining conversational style, and the teaching approach is case-based and algorithmic. It is backed up with evidence listed at the end of each chapter for further reading. Also has good tables and diagrams for ease of reading and quick reference. I highly recommend this book and will keep this on my shelf for a long time! (There is also a kindle version which would be great for electonic pocket reference)
