Case Studies in Neuroanesthesia and Neurocritical Care (Cambridge Medicine)

Caring for patients with neurologic disease in the operating room and intensive care unit is challenging. Case Studies in Neuroanesthesia and Neurocritical Care provides physicians with an outstanding guide for managing a wide variety of clinical situations. It is an ideal way to prepare for both written and oral board examinations.

The anesthetic considerations and procedures involved in the perioperative care of the neurosurgical patient are among the most complex in anesthesiology. The practice of neurosurgery and neuroanesthesiology encompasses a wide range of cases, from major spine surgery, to aneurysm clipping and awake craniotomy. Case Studies in Neuroanesthesia and Neurocritical Care provides a comprehensive view of real-world clinical practice. It contains over 90 case presentations with accompanying focussed discussions, covering the broad range of procedures and monitoring protocols involved in the care of the neurosurgical patient, including preoperative and postoperative care. The book is illustrated throughout with practical algorithms, useful tables and examples of neuroimaging. Written by leading neuroanesthesiologists, neurologists, neuroradiologists and neurosurgeons from the University of Michigan Medical School and the Cleveland Clinic, these clear, concise cases are an excellent way to prepare for specific surgical cases or to aid study for both written and oral board examinations.

Review:

‘This textbook is very useful for teaching … we would wholeheartedly recommend this book to anaesthetic trainees and all clinicians involved in neuroanaesthesia or intensive care. It complements traditional neuroanaesthesia textbooks and would be an excellent portable book to dip in and out of during a busy clinical day.’ British Journal of Anesthesia
