Practitioners or senior trainees with an interest in brain injury are an appropriate audience for this work originating from the Scandinavian Neurotrauma Committee. ... Chapters are succinct and clearly written and make good use of shading to highlight important points. ... This is an important consensus statement built from European and particularly Scandinavian strategies. ... This is a valuable reference for clinicians managing patients with head injuries." (David J.
