From the reviews:

"The present book on monitoring of cerebral and spinal haemodynamics is focussed on the huge database of more than 1,800 patients of a single institution ... . It describes the subdural measuring of intracranial pressure during neurosurgical surgery. ... The book contains an updated bibliography with the most relevant literature ... . this is a book with a lot of new information on the pathophysiology of ICP that might be of interest for colleagues who are interested in a specialisation in neuroanaesthesiology."
