Summary

Being responsible for a neurological intensive care unit without knowledge and/or experience should provoke anxiety. This handbook is intended to improve your judgment from the experience of others. Each chapter has been authored by an expert in the field. We do not imply that there is no other way to manage neurologically critically ill patients, but only that this is one expert way to do so. Others may argue that there are better ways to manage specific problems, and, on occasion, it will be correct. However, the authors believe this book will not disappoint the clinicians in search of new knowledge, a refresher, and options.
