Critical Care Neurology and Neurosurgery begins with recommendations for the organization of
a modern and efficient neurosciences critical care unit, which is followed by discussions of intra-
cranial physiology, and current neuromonitoring techniques. The concepts reviewed are paramount
to understanding the management of critically ill neurologic and neurosurgical patients. Subsequently,
we discuss the latest developments in monitoring of different body systems, emphasizing the man-
agement of cardiorespiratory complications and other medical conditions that may threaten the
patient’s life. This part serves as a useful guide for physicians caring for these patients who are faced
with difficult dilemmas, agitated or nutritionally at-risk patients.
The last chapters of the book deal with commonly encountered conditions in the neurosciences
critical care unit for which we have several therapeutic alternatives and the importance of good nurs-
ing care in our units. Critical Care Neurology and Neurosurgery concludes with a discussion on
outcomes research in this field and an Appendix of different useful equations for neurointensivists
and house officers caring for these patients.
