Author Description
Neurologic disorders (stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage, seizures, head and spinal cord trauma) constitute some of the most common critical care disorders. In addition, critical systemic illnesses and the drugs administered for these illnesses can have a major impact upon the nervous system. This text provides an authoritative review of the evaluation of these disorders, their pathophysiology, effects on the nervous system, and pharmacologic/therapeutic management.
