I find this to be the best handbook of neurocritical care available currently. This book offers a concise review of the literature available for the critically ill neurological patient as well as giving detailed and practical treatment algorithms. This book would be helpful for all level from medical student and nurses to critical care and emergency room physicians. The text is also easy to read and well organized.
I have read this book from cover to cover. Overall a nice effort. I see a significant number of neurocritical care patients on a daily basis.I think the primary audience is a neurosurgery resident who is rotating in the ICU and not necessarily an intensivist. Some of the chapters in the book are even written by the residents (unsure at what stage). One can notice that their inexperience. I do not have the book in front of me but one example is: in the spinal trauma section the author mentioned it is irreversible or something similar in the beginning. Anybody who know ASIA classification can say this is not a categorical statement. They have however corrected them at the end of the chapter.Poor editing as well. Somewhere in meningitis chapter they have alluded helicobactor as an meningitis pathogen...Overall if you are an intensivist you might want to look for alternative sources.
This comment is from the perspective of an acute care nurse practitioner.Really a great book. I found the information helpful, concise, to the point, and easy to read. The book provides a basic overview and treatment modalities for common conditions encountered in neurocritical care.
Concise, comprehensive, made as an excellent review for the neurocritical UCNS boards. Problem is it may not be up to date, but it's hard to stay up to date in today's rapidly evolving neurocritical care field. Still, highly recommended.
Great text with good background of evidence based results! Quality information delivered in well-thought and pertinent paragraph format. Very useful for anyone studying patient care in the neurological sciences.
As the complexity of neuro critical care grows to date this is the only text book which covers all current unique topics and therapies throughly and thoughtfully. If you care for any neurologic pts in your icu this book is a must. And it is a HAND BOOK.
I have read this book cover to cover twice. And I learned more from it the second time around. As a junior neurosurgery resident I find this book extremely high yield and have recommended this to all the residents in my program. Will buy the second and third edition when they come out.
good only upto differencial diagnosis,not explained to reach a diagnosis desicion making part need further explanation.may coming edition will fulfill it.
