A practical manual for recognising and managing unpredictable and rapidly-changing neurological emergencies in intensive care units. Topics covered include the pathophysiology of various diseases, neuroradiology, drug therapy and best practice for difficult decision-making. Describes a variety of conditions such as haemorrhage, seizure and trauma.
Events 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.

Andrew M. Naidech, MD, MSPH is a Professor of Neurology (Section of Neurocritical Care) at Northwestern Medicine, Chicago, IL, USA.
