Produktbeschreibung

This book is an unparalleled resource on neurologic emergencies. Most books on neurologic emergencies focus on treatment of a disease after it is diagnosed (such as stroke, subarachnoid hemorrhage, or meningitis). There are but a few books that focus on how to evaluate the patient with a neurologic symptom, before the diagnosis is made. This is the area that frontline providers, including emergency physicians, family physicians, primary care physicians, hospitalists, urgent care physicians, and midlevel providers struggle with. This book is written by clinicians with a clear understanding of the needs of non-neurologists in the front lines of medicine. The editors are board-certified emergency physicians with fellowship training and expertise in neurologic emergencies.

Neurologic Emergencies includes these point-of-care-friendly features:

• Extensive number of algorithms for distinct presenting symptoms
• Classic neuroimaging findings
• A concise bullet on what information needs to be conveyed to consultants
• Reference to relevant national guidelines where applicable
• Common chapter format to facilitate quick look-up

Rezensionen

"Neurological Emergencies provides a succinct yet ample review of the most common neurological emergencies that an emergency care provider will likely encounter. While not a bedside handbook, it is easy to read, well laid out, and would be a great resource for anyone who cares for patients in the emergency setting." (David W. Wright, Neurosurgery, Vol. 83 (05), November, 2018)

"An excellent addition to the library of anyone who needs to develop residency lectures or handouts (as well as, of course, to any practicing clinician). ... The level of detail is much greater than that of a pocketbook ... and the detail is meaty. The real prize is the many tables and lists, some taken directly or adapted from source material and others created by the authors ... . " (Theresa M. van der Vlugt, Annals of Emergency Medicine, Vol. 72 (3), September, 2018)

"This book covers the most common and most important neurological emergencies. ... The focus is neurological emergencies, primarily presenting in the emergency department. ... it is a good resource not only for differential diagnoses, but treatment options and dispositions. ... This is a good reference for emergency medicine physicians or trainees who would like to brush up on their neurological diseases." (Oliver Garrison, Doody's Book Reviews, June, 2018)
