Neuroprotection in Critical Care and Perioperative Medicine 

Neuroprotection is an essential aspect of critical care and perioperative medicine that has become increasingly significant as human beings survive life-threatening injuries and complex surgical procedures. The importance of neuroprotection in promoting recovery from such injuries, illnesses, and surgeries cannot be overstated, as neurologic injury and dysfunction are among the leading causes of long-term disability. Despite its importance, neuroprotection remains under-recognized as the primary objective in critical care.

To address this critical knowledge gap, Neuroprotection in Critical Care and Perioperative Medicine provides a concise review of the current state of the art of clinical care and research. This book covers a broad range of topics within the context of critical care and perioperative care. Within the context of critical care, the book examines the primary forms of brain injury on which neuroprotection research and intervention has traditionally focused. These include traumatic brain injury, cardiac arrest, acute ischemic stroke, and intracranial hemorrhage, as well as CNS injuries related to sepsis and acute respiratory distress syndrome, mechanical circulatory support, and premature birth. Within the context of perioperative care, the book also examines anesthetic and perioperative strategies to reduce brain injury from a variety of surgical procedures, including cardiac surgery, aortic surgery and endovascular repair, carotid endarterectomy, vascular and endovascular neurosurgery, and other major surgical procedures.

The book is highly informative and provides a thorough understanding of neuroprotection in critical care and perioperative medicine. The authors have done an excellent job of bringing together the latest scientific research and clinical practice guidelines to provide a comprehensive overview of the subject. The book is written in clear and concise language, making it accessible to a broad range of readers, from healthcare professionals to researchers and students.

Moreover, the book covers a range of topics that will be of interest to those involved in critical care and perioperative medicine. Whether you’re a surgeon, an anesthesiologist, a critical care nurse, or a medical student, this book will provide you with a wealth of knowledge that can help you provide the best possible care to your patients. It is also an excellent resource for those involved in research related to the subject.

Overall, Neuroprotection in Critical Care and Perioperative Medicine is a highly informative and insightful book that should be on the shelves of anyone involved in critical care or perioperative medicine. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the subject, covering a wide range of topics that are essential for understanding neuroprotection. The book is highly recommended, and ordering a copy is a decision you won’t regret. With its insightful content, this book can help you take your practice and knowledge to the next level.
