_Neurocritical Care_ is a primer for physicians seeing patients in the
neurointensive care unit, with a specific focus on interventions in
acute neurologic disorders. Neurocritical care in daily practice
involves management of deteriorating patients, treatment of
complications, along with end-of-life care assisting families with
problematic decisions. A great number of pertinent topics can be found
in this case-based book.Written with a conversational tone and using a
case-based approach, the emphasis is on how to oversee comparatively
common clinical problems emergently. The goal is to provide readily
implementable solutions and to challenge the reader with making acute
decisions in common patient examples. The brief discussions boil down
to the essentials and bare necessities of neurocritical care. This
third edition has over twenty new cases with new coverage on
contemporary issues. Expansion of previously discussed topics include
additional complications in traumatic brain injury and subarachnoid
hemorrhage, complications after craniotomy, elusive rapid progressive
brain disease, "wake-up stroke" immune checkpoint inhibitor and CAR-T
cell therapy complications, complications of LVAD, and early
prognostication and communication conundrums. An easy read for new
physicians, residents, and medical students, it provides practical
advice from the authors' seasoned experiences.
