Sommario/riassunto |
|
From important aspects of the physical examination to imaging studies to treatment options and dosage guidelines, Decision Making in Neurocritical Care provides a solid introduction to the evidence-based management of patients in the neurological intensive care unit. Succinct text in a highly accessible bullet-point format details the essentials of history-taking, physical examination, differential diagnosis, diagnostic evaluation, and treatments for a range of neurological problems in the critical care setting. Special features: Brief vignettes of typical cases emphasize key questions for the physician to consider and urgent orders to be given; Coverage of the basics of neurocritical care, including techniques of intubation, ventilator management, sedation, and multimodality monitoring; Pearls and pitfalls highlight key points in patient management; Convenient medication tables, including dosages, adverse effects, and contraindications; Consistent presentation in each chapter enhances ease of use. -- Publisher |
