Résumé : More than 40 leading authorities present a comprehensive, clear approach to the care of neurological disease and injury-from the emergency room and ICU through the operating room and post-surgical period. They discuss everything from general issues-such as cardiac care, fluids and electrolytes, nutrition, and monitoring-to specific conditions and complications including elevated intracranial pressure, seizures, and altered mental states. Surgical chapters review problem issues from the surgeon's point of view, providing the ultimate practitioner's perspective for learning and observation.
