About this title

Synopsis

This pocket-sized guide distills complicated neurologic conditions to deliver the essentials of best care for the neurocritical patient. Often missing from acute care courses, neurocritical care is a growing field, with more patients than ever admitted to the ICU for neurocritical conditions. This specialty requires specificity and precision, but as this practical resource demonstrates, the intricacies of neurocritical care should not be an immeasurable obstacle for any APP. Written in the easy-access style for APPs, Essentials of Neurocritical Care covers the defining characteristics, clinical presentation, diagnostics, treatment, and nursing considerations of common neurological disorders seen in acute care settings. Chapters review the assessment and diagnosis of common and not-so-common neurologic conditions that can often be difficult to recognize and manage. Replete with illustrations and clinical pearls, this reference is an invaluable resource for orientation into this often-challenging specialty. This book was originally published under the Fast Facts series by Springer Publishing Company.
