Neurological and Neurosurgical Emergencies

Neurological and Neurosurgical Emergencies addresses emergencies in all fields of neuroscience, including disciplines like Neurology, Neurosurgery, Neuroanaesthesia, and Neuroradiology.This volume covers in detail neurosurgical emergencies like hydrocephalus, brain edema, intracranial bleed, intracranial hematoma, infection, and trauma, alongside neurovascular emergencies like acute ischemic stroke, non-traumatic, aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, carotid cavernous fistula, and arteriovenous malformation.An unparalleled source of all emergencies faced in the clinical neurosciences and their anesthetic implications, it also discusses common emergencies in neurology including status epilepticus, refractory epilepsy, super-refractory epilepsy, and neuromuscular disorders. Beginning with neurological examination of patients through to anesthetic management of various emergencies, this book features clear images that accompany each emergency with learner-friendly features such as flow-charts, figures, text boxes, and algorithms. This book provides insight into all possible aspects of emergency management as well as anaesthetic management of such patients Covers all neurological and neurosurgical emergencies during the perioperative periodOffers practical approaches to treatment and management of such patients in operation theatre, neuroradiological suites as well as in intensive care unitsDiscusses practical and evidence-based concepts of neuroanaesthesiaDetails the latest guidelines in patient management
