The first practical, protocol-based guide to the emerging field of neurocritical care
The goal of neurological critical care is to rapidly deliver acute medical therapies and appropriate interventions through effective monitoring of both neurological and end organ function. The NeuroICU Book puts that goal within the reach of every neurologist and critical care specialist.
Combining the latest clinical perspectives in critical care medicine, neurology, and neurosurgery, this comprehensive, evidence-based text standardizes neurocritical care and takes you through the rationale for those standards. Filled with detailed case studies and featuring a question-and-answer format, the book not only builds competency in recognizing acute changes in neurological function, but also addresses all organ insufficiencies and failures, reflecting the real-life challenges in the modern neuro-ICU.
FEATURES
- Robust, wide-ranging scope goes beyond classic neurology to encompass other organ failures at the time of presentation or during the ICU stay
- Evidence-based approach leverages the scientific and controlled research that supports the key treatment methods outlined in the book
- Balanced coverage of neuro care and critical care offers outstanding preparation for the neurocritical care board certification exam as well as an indispensible primer for daily clinical work in critical care medicine
- Cutting-edge insights into the care used in some of the more advanced neuroICUs provides a crucial blueprint for understanding the newer procedures and protocols
- Practical tools including algorithms, tables, illustration, photographs, detailed references, and critical take-home points

This compact handheld Neuro-ICU book packs a powerful punch. It is one of the best bedside Neuro-ICU books I have seen. Organized by problem specific chapters each beginning with a practical patient scenarios and then expanding into the available supporting classifications, management strategies and technological advances. This makes this book very easy to read and retain the pertinent game-changing information helping clinicians understand the complex and often competing processes at work. I would highly recommend this book for everyone working in a modern neuro-ICU from nurses, physician assistants, residents, fellows and attendings.

i have been a critical care nurse for 13 yrs, but just recently made a move to the neuro ICU. I was looking for a clear and concise neurocritical care book to enhance my learning. This book is wonderful! Each chapter is on a particular topic in neuro critical care and begins with a patient scenario. It then walks you throug risk factors for that topic, initial treatment, treatment course, complications and management, and prognisis. Each section of the chapter will continue to include your original patient scenario showing you clinically what the different complications look like. It then goes through the treatment measures for that complication. It also includes data from recent studies and trials. Some examples chapters include, subarachnoid hemorrhage, intracerebral hemorrhage, stroke, brain tumors, seizures, brain trauma, etc. It's a book written by physicians, but is easily understandable and very useful for nurses. This book has been a godsend in my practice. I highly recommend it for any clinician in the field of neuroscience critical care.
