Description:
Long-term survival from traumatic brain injury is greatly increased if management guidelines are properly followed. This book provides practical guidance to neurologists throughout the 'patient journey' from severe head injury, treatment in the Intensive Care Unit, through to discharge, rehabilitation, and recovery. Using a patient-oriented approach, guidelines and algorithms help to demonstrate how care requirements change and how neurologists can facilitate recover at all points along the way. Neurologists can use the guidelines found in Traumatic Brain Injury to help treat patients with brain injury and reduce mortality.
