USDEvents in a neurological intensive care unit are not always predictable and patients can often be unstable. This practical manual is a clear and concise guide for recognising and managing neurological emergencies. Each chapter covers a crucial topic in neurocritical care, from understanding the pathophysiology of various neurological diseases, to neuroradiology used in diagnosis, and best practice for difficult decision making in the ICU. A variety of conditions are described such as haemorrhage (intracerebral, subdural, and subarachnoid), seizures, trauma and temperature dysregulation. An international team of experts have contributed chapters, providing a breadth of experience and knowledge for readers. This is an invaluable guide for clinicians on the front line of caring for patients with neurological emergencies who need life-saving answers quickly.
- Reviews the pathophysiology of neurological emergencies, leading readers to a deeper understanding of why these occur in their patients
- Wide ranging content encompasses the majority of disorders encountered by neurointensivists and other clinicians caring for patients with neurological emergencies
- Provides practical, easy-to-follow, structured, and focused protocols for the assessment, management, and treatment of neurocritically ill patients that is accessible for clinicians at any stage of their career
