Edited by Derek S., M.D. Wheeler, Hector R. Wong, Thomas P. Shanley
Paperback / softback
Description
Neurologic emergencies are a common reason for admission to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU).
A thorough understanding of the diseases and disorders affecting the pediatric central nervous system is vital for any physician or healthcare provider working in the PICU.
In the following pages, an international panel of experts provides an in-depth discussion on the res- citation, stabilization, and ongoing care of the critically ill or injured child with central nervous system dysfunction.
Once again, we would like to dedicate this textbook to our families and to the physicians and nurses who provide steadfast care every day in pediatric intensive care units across the globe.
