The Practice of Emergency and Critical Care Neurology Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Excellent review of neurocritical care every intensivist who manages (neuro/nonneuro ICU pts)should have. I am currently a second year critical care fellow who will be graduating soon and will be practicing in an open ICU with neurological patients and I find this book very useful as a quick review of common ICU disorders that one practicing in the ICU will encounter every single day.
This book is in an easily readable format with glossy paper and excellent images of the pictures especially CT scans.
I recommend this book to all the current critical care fellows in training especially if they will be practicing in an open ICU in the near future after their fellowship.
