Review quotes
Review quotes
"it represents the state-of-the-art in neuro critical care, and should be available for consultation in every neurosurgical intensive care unit."
"highly recommended primarily for neurosurgeons, Neuroanesthetists and medical and surgical intensivists"
"of value for learning preoperative and perioperative management of a large number of neurosurgical conditions."
"This is a premier reference for perioperative care of a complex patient group. Production quality is outstanding. The use of color illustrations to highlight important aspects and radiographs is excellent. This book should be seriously considered for the library of anyone managing neurosurgical patients. The online material is easy to navigate and complements the print book well."
