Reviews

The purpose is to describe the integration of management for neurological injuries into the care of patients with trauma to multiple organ systems. Senior trainees with an interest in trauma or providers in a multidisciplinary trauma practice are an appropriate audience. ... a useful guide for neurosurgeons and those in other disciplines addressing injury. Neurosurgeons will better understand what to expect from other trauma team members, while the trauma team will have data describing optimal protection of the brain. (David J. Dries, Doody's Book Reviews, March, 2017)
