About this series
Elements in Emergency Neurosurgery brings together the expertise of global authorities in the field of Emergency Neurosurgery to present a curated collection of commonly encountered urgent conditions in neurosurgical practice. Providing core knowledge, clinical examples, diagnostic pitfalls, basic imaging, guidelines, descriptions or operations and procedures and clinical pathways to assist understanding of standard methods of safe clinical management, there is an emphasis on safety and learning. Taking in topics from basic neuroscience to good practice for acute neurosurgery conditions, readers will be assisted in understanding the principles of effective working methods and safe, high-quality clinical management of patients.
This invaluable series offers a comprehensive understanding of an extensive range of neurological presentations in emergency situations for doctors in neurosurgical training, practising neurosurgeons, advanced nurse practitioners and physician associates in neurosurgery.
