Neurotrauma Management for the Severely Injured Polytrauma Patient

Beschreibung

         This text addresses many of the questions which occur when medical professionals of various disciplines interact and have different plans and interventions, each with its own valid scientific and/or experience-based rationale:  Questions involving tourniquet placement, ideal fluids and volumes for resuscitation, VTE prophylaxis and many other management considerations. Straightforward decisions in the patient with a single diagnosis often conflict when applied to the neurologically injured polytrauma patients.        Neurotrauma Management for the Severely Injured Polytrauma Patient answers as many of these questions as possible based on the current literature, vast experience with severe neurotrauma in the current conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the experience of trauma experts across the globe as well as proposes areas for future study where answers are currently less clear.

“The purpose is to describe the integration of management for neurological injuries into the care of patients with trauma to multiple organ systems. Senior trainees with an interest in trauma or providers in a multidisciplinary trauma practice are an appropriate audience. … a useful guide for neurosurgeons and those in other disciplines addressing injury. Neurosurgeons will better understand what to expect from other trauma team members, while the trauma team will have data describing optimal protection of the brain.” (David J. Dries, Doody's Book Reviews, March, 2017)
