Oxford Textbook of Neurocritical Care

This book highlights recent advances in the understanding of the pathophysiology of neurological disease, in neuromonitoring and imaging, and the clinical management of diverse neurological conditions and their complications.
Neurocritical care is a multidisciplinary specialty that provides comprehensive management for all life-threatening disorders of the central nervous system and their complications. Increased understanding of the pathophysiology of acute central nervous system disorders and their impact on systemic organ systems, in association with advances in neuromonitoring and neuroimaging techniques, has led to the introduction of more effective and individualised treatment strategies that have translated into improved outcomes for critically ill neurological patients. As well as treatments targeted to the acute neurological disorder, critically ill neurological patients require meticulous general intensive care support to maintain systemic physiological stability and optimize neurological outcomes. The second edition of the Oxford Textbook of Neurocritical Care brings together international experts from various disciplines to provide a comprehensive global perspective on this field. In 33 updated or new chapters, the book discusses the pathophysiology of acute neurological conditions, advancements in monitoring and imaging techniques, evidenced-based treatment strategies, prognostication, patient outcomes, and ethics. Each chapter highlights advancements within specific areas and underscores the critical attention to detail that is the basis of neurocritical care practice. While primarily designed for those in the neurocritical care field, this textbook also serves as a valuable resource for other clinical professionals who encounter patients with acute neurological conditions in their practice. It is also a useful resource for trainees from many disciplines
