Neurological Complications in Critical Illness: A Focus on Mechanisms, An Issue of Critical Care Clinics

There are several fields in acute/critical neurologic illness where data have accrued rapidly in recent years and there is a need to assemble reviews by leading investigators. This timely and up-to-date issue of Critical Care Clinics explores such important topics as, Critical Care Management of Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage and Neurological complications of critical illness. Dr. Robert Stevens, a leader in his field, has assembled a group of top-notch clinicians to contribute to this issue. The main emphasis of this volume will be pathophysiology and mechanisms of neurological dysfunction and injury occurring in the ICU setting. The aim is to generate new ideas on how to detect, prevent and treat these frequent and devastating complications. These characteristics will make this volume a truly valuable resource that is thematically distinct from other editions of CC Clinics.
