Reviews

After review of monitoring and common presentations for neurologic conditions, there is discussion of common neurologic problems seen in the intensive care unit including subarachnoid hemorrhage, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord diseases, status epilepticus, central nervous system infections, and special considerations in perioperative care. Chapters are clearly written and include line drawings and tables. Computed tomographic scans are also used on occasion, which reproduce with adequate though not outstanding quality. Each chapter contains a reference list dating to within two to three years of publication including both primary and secondary data sources. The table of contents simply lists chapter titles and authorship. Concluding the book is an outstanding group of appendixes reviewing monitoring calculations and standard assessment scores. A sample nursing flow sheet is included. Finally, a detailed subject index is provided. - Doody's Health Sciences Book Review Journal
