Long-term survival from traumatic brain injury is greatly increased if
management guidelines are properly followed. This book provides practical
guidance to neurologists throughout the 'patient journey' from severe head
injury, treatment in the Intensive Care Unit, through to discharge,
rehabilitation, and recovery. Using a patient-oriented approach, guidelines and
algorithms help to demonstrate how care requirements change and how neurologists
can facilitate recover at all points along the way. Neurologists can use the
guidelines found in "Traumatic Brain Injury" to help treat patients with brain
injury and reduce mortality.
