However, during the last 20 years, an evolution away from a mechanistic approach has transformed neurocritical care into an increasingly multidisciplinary field. \u003ccite\u003eNeurosurgical Intensive Care, 2nd Edition\u003c\/cite\u003e reflects this new paradigm, authored by a neurosurgeon with contributions from experts in the fields of neurology, vascular neurology, interventional neuroradiology, anesthesiology, critical care, traumatology, nutrition, and advanced practice nursing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeuromonitoring advances have enabled customized interventions tailored to each patient's unique circumstances. The critical care of neurosurgical patients has evolved from an emphasis on pulmonary care (ventilation and oxygenation) to a more nuanced understanding of cerebral protection measures required to manage a disrupted blood-brain-barrier. This edition encompasses advances in the use of ICP monitors, external ventricular devices, brain tissue oxygen monitoring devices, cerebral microdialysis, fluid and electrolyte correction, as well as the increasing use of continuous EEG in the ICU.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraightforward summaries for each stage of patient care including bedside exams, neuroimaging, lab work, triage procedures, sedation and pain management, neuropharmacology, nutritional needs, administration of fluids, and more.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e159 tables and figures facilitate rapid evaluation and decision making.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClinical pearls on a wide range of ICU scenarios - from pathophysiology and management of coma - to interventions for spinal cord injury, multisystem injuries, acute ischemic stroke, and pediatric cases.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInsights on how to handle family communication and spiritual needs, medical-legal issues, and discharge planning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis compact, highly practical handbook provides a stellar reference for managing critically ill neurosurgical patients in the ICU.
