Examining Neurocritical Patients
This indispensable title rethinks the neurologic examination in a format tailored, modified, and specialized for neurocritical illness. Generously illustrated, this book provides a detailed clinical assessment of the acutely ill neurologic patient. It explains why certain neurologic signs appear and provides fundamentals of localization. Certain situations demand certain structured examinations. Eventually, all information has to be integrated logically. Different examination techniques may be needed. Recognition of deterioration and increased vigilance with important mimickers and confounders are part of our professional fabric. Other necessary skills include predicting a clinical course an...
Neurocritical Care
41 What Neurologists Know About Outcome in Post-. Resuscitation Coma and What Other Physicians Want to Know
Handling Difficult Situations
Handling Difficult Situations offers a reasonable approach to difficult decisions that arise in clinical problems. The book addresses how to recognize treatable coma, how to judge the severity of traumatic brain and spine injury, and discusses how to recognize neurosurgical emergencies.
Identifying Neuroemergencies
Core Principles of Acute Neurology is a series of short volumes that handles major topics not found in sufficient detail elsewhere and provides useful context. Identifying Neuroemergencies provides practical information on how to best manage and triage patients in the first hour of admission in the Emergency Department. Physicians consider a neurologic emergency when the patient has clearly worsened and their neurologic signs have changed. Correct decisions are imperative: any type of neurocritical illness demands immediate treatment in the emergency department. Neurologist can assist further with the successful triage of the neurologic emergency and this volume in the Core Principles of Acute Neurology will serve as a handy, concise, reference to both the neurologist and the emergency physician.
Famous First Papers for the Neurointensivist
A major contribution to the literature in neurology from renowned neurointensivist Eelco F.M. Wijdicks, MD, PhD, Famous First Papers for the Neurointensivist presents and critically assesses numerous papers that have made a profound impact on the diagnosis and treatment of neurologically acute conditions. In general, there has been little historical work in acute neurologic conditions, precisely because neurology is not perceived through this perspective. Famous First Papers for the Neurointensivist addresses this problem by a scholarly treatment of early descriptions of clinical signs, syndromes and presenting the development of treatment of these acute disorders. Using a uniform and easy-t...
The Practice of Emergency and Critical Care Neurology
"The practice of neurocritical care is sobering in one way and exhilarating in another. Perhaps the best demonstration of what we do,can do or should do to tip the scale is already in the Emergency Department, because acute neurologic disease typically is there seen first. There are numerous acute neurologic problems seen every day and so for emergency physicians the recognition of a serious neurologic disease must be an essential part of their expertise. Be that as it may, neurologists (and neurointensivists) are consulted freely because there is a sense that acute neurologic disease will worsen (and sometimes very quickly). In some patients the presenting emergency is already critical and unquestionably life-threatening. Acute neurologic conditions can appear anywhere in the hospital, but this chapter introduces the emergency department (ED), with all its complexities, as seen from a neurologist's perspective."--
Cinema, MD
Cinema, MD follows the intersection of medicine and film and how filmmakers wrote a history of medicine over time, analyzing not only changing practices, changing morals, and changing expectations but also medical stereotypes, medical activism, and violations of patients' integrity and autonomy. Examining over 400 films with medical themes over a century of cinema, this book establishes the cultural, medical, and historical importance of the artform.
Solving Critical Consults
'Solving Critical Consults' provides practical information on how to evaluate complicated neurology consults in the ICU.
The Practice of Emergency and Critical Care Neurology
The Practice of Emergency and Critical Care Neurology serves as the definitive authoritative reference on the care of the patient with a critical neurologic disorder at risk of deterioration and in need of immediate attention. This work is an expanded new edition of the book on the management of patients with critical neurologic disorders. This single-authored monograph is broad in scope and follows the patients from the very moment they enter the emergency department to their care in the neurosciences intensive care unit. This book condenses the essential information into several sections. These are: The General Principles of Recognition of Critically Ill Neurologic Patients in the Emergenc...
Neurologic Complications of Critical Illness
Neurologic consultations are essential to patient outcomes, not only providing diagnostic, therapeutic, and prognostic advice but also directing care to the patient. Neurologic Complications of Critical Illness is the foremost guide for neurologists entering the intensive care unit (ICU). This fourth edition has been thoroughly updated, refreshed, and expanded in recognition of the vast number of changes in neurology and neurocritical care. In addition, every chapter provides a representative selection of the state-of-the art management and latest clinical innovations in critical care medicine. As with previous editions, the book offers practical advice on dealing with coma and outcome after...
