Synopsis

The primary focus of this book is to stress the importance of understanding the continuing dynamics associated with central nervous system injuries, and to emphasize the essential role of the trauma anesthesiologist in preventing secondary injury and ensuring optimal outcome. Offering a comprehensive continuum-of-care approach, the authors expertly discuss the priorities of resuscitation, immediate intrahospital considerations, airway management, cerebral protection, fluid management, diagnostic evaluation and anesthetic management in the neuroradiology suite. The core of the book concentrates on the practical issues of intraoperative and intensive care of patients with head and spinal cord injuries. New pharmacological therapies and newly emerging diagnostic/monitoring modalities are also explored. Finally, the authors consider final outcome issues - either

Présentation de l'éditeur

The primary focus of this book is to stress the importance of understanding the continuing dynamics associated with central nervous system injuries, and to emphasize the essential role of the trauma anesthesiologist in preventing secondary injury and ensuring optimal outcome.

Offering a comprehensive continuum–of–care approach, the authors expertly discuss the priorities of resuscitation, immediate intrahospital considerations, airway management, cerebral protection, fluid management, diagnostic evaluation and anesthetic management in the neuroradiology suite.

The core of the book concentrates on the practical issues of intraoperative and intensive care of patients with head and spinal cord injuries. New pharmacological therapies and newly emerging diagnostic/monitoring modalities are also explored. Finally, the authors consider final outcome issues – either rehabilitation of the recovering patient, or, in the case of fatalities, the importance of organ procurement and transplantation.

Given its real–world, multi–disciplinary approach, Trauma Anesthesia and Critical Care of Neurological Injury will be of considerable value not just to anesthesiologists, but also to neurologists, neurosurgeons, intensivists, emergency medicine physicians, and the many other trauma specialists that work with the critically injured.
