Reviews

“The book provides an excellent resource that addresses many important and controversial questions in sTBI, and I recommend that it should be read by trainees and practitioners in neurosurgery, intensive care, trauma care, emergency medicine, and anesthesia. … this book should be made accessible to every emergency department, intensive care ward, and neurosurgical ward in hospitals that treat patients with sTBI.” (Gavin A. Davis, Neurosurgery, Vol. 85 (1), July, 2019) “This is a valuable book that will undoubtedly help those who manage patients with severe TBI navigate this complex landscape. There is no comparable book examining controversies in management of severe TBI, making this one quite unique. The authors present relevant controversies and do a nice job of applying current scientific data in a clearly understood manner.” (Fady T. Charbel, Doody's Book Reviews, January, 18, 2019)​
