"This book really is a
complete primer on the head injured
patient. Without a map such as the
one this book metaphorically
provides, the voyage to mastery can
be hazardous for both practitioner
and patient."— Journal of the
American Medical Association
Neurotrauma and Critical Care of the
Brain, 2nd edition by renowned
neurosurgeons Jack Jallo and
Christopher Loftus incorporates
salient components of the highly
praised first edition. The updated
text reflects cutting-edge
discussion on traumatic brain injury
management in a neurocritical care
setting. Contributions from top
experts in neurosurgery, neurology,
critical care, cardiac and pulmonary
care, and trauma surgery provide a
concise review of a complex and
evolving field.
The book lays a
solid foundation with discussion of
TBI classification, pathophysiology,
key blood biomarkers, noninvasive
neuromonitoring in severe TBI
patients, multimodality monitoring
in neurocritical care, and brain
imaging modalities. From the
