Neuroscience Critical Care: Pathophysiology and Patient Management - Tapa dura

Resulting from a unique collaboration among health care professionals, this book parallels care delivery in the hospital. It defines an integrated approach to the care of critically ill neurologic and neurosurgical patients. Nursing and medical care are presented with a strong base in pathophysiology and neurodiagnostics. Stressing the necessity for true collaboration among disciplines, the authors look at critical conditions from both a nursing focus (including nursing diagnoses) and a physician focus.

The first collaborative work on the neurological and neurosurgical critical care. The text outlines the most important features, principles, disorders and diseases of the nervous system. Extremely up-to-date, it is a definitive guide to treatment and critical care nursing as well as a reference for better understanding of the mechanisms of illnesses and injury.
